AIBU to need a very stiff drink after watching that all day?

[LovingTheseAutumnSnippets]

Spent most of today in tears.

Brought out the coffin from Westminster Hall, cried my eyes out.
Saw Charles wipe away a tear, cried my eyes out.
Heard beautiful choir with lovely angelic voices...cried my eyes out.
Taking the orb and spectre, the Crown Jewels away...cried
Final speech sending Queen Elizabeth II and all her titles to be laid to rest...sobbed
Hailing the new King and his titles....cried too.

I now need a stiff drink.

What is it going to be?

I had more than a few large whiskies the day she died - seemed appropriate

I had a wonderful day at the beach. I feel fantastic after 10 difficult days. No alcohol needed.

I’m sorry for you loss though

Having a large whisky and ginger ale!

I just had a large port.

I'm putting the baby to bed then fixing myself a large one. Similar to you, OP, I cried a lot today. Especially seeing her horse there 😭

Try a dubonnet and gin with a slice of lemon

Feeling the same. Emotionally wrung out.

I'd be wanting a stiff drink if I'd seen a spectre at a funeral. . .

I don’t feel like a drink but I do feel like I need to decompress

I feel the same… Unfortunately I had no idea it would be so emotional for so long, and I’ve agreed to go and help at a rehearsal for a comedy theatre show at 8pm… desperately not in the mood!

😁same!

(Am about to have a large G&T in her honour. We had a bottle of fizz earlier to toast her too)

Massive dirty martini here. Upgrade from g & t.

We had afternoon tea with Prosecco and a cheers to Ma’am. Emotionally drained.

Aww bless you all. I don't drink but sometimes wish I did!
What a lovely thread. Please don't visit some of the others about today. Very sad & hurtful.
Have a drink for me too, please, I DID read them.. :-(

The fading bagpipes set me off. Along with George and Charlotte singing God save the King for some reason.

Go for it! It’s standard after a funeral!

I’m feeling quite relaxed. Woke up with a stotting headache, utterly miserable. Cried all day watching the funeral and now my headache has dwindled because I’ve released some of the tension. Better than syndol!

(Actually I was thinking of deregistering until I came to this thread. Fed up of all the toxicity.) :-(

Cup of tea

What set me off was the end when they showed brief clips of the day and the lovely music over it. I'd managed to (just) keep it together until then.

The Corgis gave me a bit of a wobble, but it was the final bit when Charles had to put the small flag on the coffin. It made me think of how I felt on the day of my mother's funeral. I'm pleased that they are finally able to have a private service after all the public hoopla.

My eyes have been leaking on and off all day so we’re having a glass or two of wine. No idea how I’m going to get up for work in the morning when my head feels like it’s been put through a mangle with a day of such sadness, beauty and emotion.

Blimey, yes. And I've spent most of the past week hoping that Camilla has a hip flask in her handbag - if we feel drained, what must it be like for the family?

@unsync I just said the same to my sis. We had a few hours at our mum's funeral. The royals have had about ten non stop days & now TODAY. If I could get the first round in for them, I would do, bless them..

I've just poured a large glass of red . The taking off of the Crown Jewels and the fading piper absolutely broke me . I'm still welling up now.

They must all be exhausted.

Glad the family get a private funeral to say their goodbyes,m. I cannot imagine having to go through this, I certainly do not envy royal life.

YANBU OP🍷
