The Queens funeral 3

[KenAdams]

Again, thread 2 has filled up fast.

Lovely to see all staff out

Thank you!

I haven't cried all day but seeing the corgis has set me off.... 😢 😢 😢 😢 😢 😢

Who is the chap in glasses who is taller than Tall Paul?

This is the real funeral isn't it, for her as a person, not as a Head of State.

The driver has had a long old day of utter concentration.

Flowers of the Forest.. the piper played this at the end of my stepfathers funeral last year. 😔

@MrsDanversGlidesAgain aww! I hope they get to retire now.

Who's the man next to the driver

Some in the procession are looking really tired now.

I was just thinking that ! His shoulders and hands must be SO tense.

Poor Anne looks done in.

Poor soldier can hardly see , his bear skin is so low !

I'm impressed with him, driving that slow isn't easy at all

The company bit is quite important. Often at a function the queen wouldn't know anyone there, so the LIW would be someone to chat to. The queen also had various signals she'd use in case e.g she needed to be rescued from someone talking too long and the LIWs would watch for those and step in.

Why is James not part of the processions? He's the only male grandchild not to be. His age?

Who is the man behind Harry? I didn't hear when they said.

Gosh there's going to be a lot of well deserved Epsom salt/radox baths tonight. Many sore feet and arms.

It's like she's being wrapped in a warm embrace with all the people that knew her and cared for her surrounding the hearse with her guards protecting her.

The equerries have all got out of step and are on the opposite foot to the guardsmen alongside them

Duke of Gloucester?

Will it be the same coffin bearers here at Windsor ? The same lads that done the duty in London ?

the Duke of Gloucester

The corgis 😭

The Corgi is Muick rather than Mick.
