The Queens funeral 3

[KenAdams]

Again, thread 2 has filled up fast.

I'm so pleased I watched it all , I've been mesmerised since 8am

@RedToothBrush hope you feel better soon.

Than you OP and everyone else.

I’ve had BBC on since 8am. Several times my TV has threatened to go to standby because it hasn’t been touched. I’m going to prepare dinner now and watch something else.

RIP Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. God save The King.

Are there to be more officail days of mourning after this?

I think that the RF might have some official private days (much deserved).

Just seen something that said 5 billion and it's 67% (iirc) of the population.

What an astonishing thing to watch. So beautifully done.

Thank you for starting this thread, OP - it has been very much in the spirit of the occasion.

After much googling I finally found the very melodic funeral march. It is Mendelssohn but the first one which came up on YouTube seeme not to be right!

I’m amazed at this

I wonder how they get the figures so quickly

Thanks. Will be fine in a day or two.

Does anyone know what the music is that the BBC used over their final montage? It seemed familiar but I couldn’t place it.

The UK has definitely done the Queen proud today. Lovely service

Just seen something that said 5 billion and it's 67% (iirc) of the population.

5.1 billion

63% of worlds population.

Nope that's it for us. Party time allowed.

But not for Royals.

I do feel like this will bring a while be chapter for the country.

I think Charles will have a hard time keeping public support for the monarchy and the press will start printing stories they have been holding back on.

Just wow. So proud 🥲

The black and white slide show on the BBC news right after the funeral showing the Queen from a baby to recently was so moving.
May she rest in peace.

Wow is this true that much of the population?!!

Most people I know feel like now she’s gone they should abolish the RF. She was the lynch pin for sure.

I feel very moved. I’ve watched from 10am. I doesn’t make me feel proud, though. I don’t understand that sentiment at all.

I wonder if Harry and Meghan felt a bit humbled watching all the tradition and ceremony?

All the Oprah interviews and podcasts seem a bit trivial in the face of all that history, don’t they?

Ah I don't know I wonder if all this has actually made a lot of people favour the royal family more than before....

I wouldn’t worry too much polling doesn’t show this

Charles is very popular - although just a point in time obvs

Sad I didn't see her going diwn the vault. Watched all day too. Saw the piper. Can't find it anywhere either.

What the heck? That’s mammoth.

I didn't intend to watch all day, either. As others have said, however it was utterly mesmerising. Our Armed forces and all involved were simply amazing.

Thank you, OP.

Hope everyone enjoys a peaceful and restfull evening.
