The Queens funeral 3

[KenAdams]

Again, thread 2 has filled up fast.

He had a wry smile.

For him to be king his mum had to die.

The emotion attached to that must be huge - without the fact she's just died.

Awww 😢

Did Fergie walk up the hill in her bare feet?

@CatsandFish it was definitely king and charles had tears in his eyes.

I wonder whether all that walking behind the hearse made William and Harry think about their mother? They were so young when they did that walk.

I too heard ''Queen''....

Yes @CatsandFish it was King.

I’ve just googled that. Burial is a body. Interring is burying ashes.

No she had flat shoes on

I didn't expect it to be so emotional. From Emma the pony onwards, it was just so sad.
Having been to Windsor, I'm surprised that it looked larger on TV.

Yes...the giveaway being that he didn't sing. If it had been 'Queen' jr would have been singing too.

They're not buried in the earth, but sealed in a vault. That's why the coffins have to be lead lined

Memorable, emotional, end of an era.

What a lady. Unimaginable without her.

I need to pick myself and family up, a traditional afternoon tea and a stiff drink.

Emma and the Corgis...and the Final Piper with the Lament..

Yip I spotted her. There is something very nice about her being included in both services.

I'm sure I'm not the only one with a headache now. Too many tears, so much emotion. There has been a lot of discussion about this reminding people of loved ones they've lost and I've really felt that today. My grandmother (who looked very much like the queen and around the same age) died at around this time of year a few years ago. This has brought it all back. We take the present so much for granted and then they're gone forever. I can't believe how sad today has been

No, only the very start. They then cut away from the coffin and the family to show the piper.

Gosh thank goodness for that. I was confused. I didn’t see how the Queen could be cremated.

See if this link still works. I watched a few minutes behind everyone on this thread and was able to go back a few times to things I had missed.

It was King. They sang send him victorious. Plus, Charles didn't sing.

i am not sure everyone sang it correctly though!

He* would have been singing

She set me off to, as she struggled to hold back the tears. The emotion in her voice just brought it out in me 😥

Yes, we saw that. It was lovely.

Burial in the earth, but a coffin is interred in a vault or a tomb, ie it’s not buried in a grave, but sits in the tomb, usually on a shelf or niche. The chapel where they will be interred is just a very small room under the floor.

They cut back to it again though.
