Thanks @Maireas
Your powers of telepathy woke me up from my nap which is a good job as I forgot to set my alarm Smile

I'm finding it so upsetting seeing HMQ. I can't imagine how hard today must be for her.

LadyEloise · 17/04/2021 15:06

Thank you Maireas for the new thread.
A tough day to get through for all.

I'm finding this profoundly moving. Somehow the sparseness makes it more poignant.

I was thinking the same thing. Austere and elegant and very moving.
Maireas · 17/04/2021 15:29

It is austere. Very fitting.

Thanks for the new thread.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 17/04/2021 17:08

Very moving & a fitting service.
I think Philip would be pleased with it.
Very strange feeling as kept expecting Philip to actually be there in person (even though I know he's dead) sat next to HMQ as he's always been there, part of the furniture.

Maireas · 17/04/2021 18:06

I agree, Tracy - it's strange isn't it?
The military precision with the coffin etc was extraordinary.
Everyone looked elegant. I felt for Anne who was obviously struggling to keep it together at one point. A very fitting tribute.

They all looked very elegant. Agree about the austerity of the chapel. Very beautiful and fitting

Eaumyword · 17/04/2021 18:39

Thank you for the new thread! It was a lovely send off. Felt very sorry for the Queen, she must feel very alone now.
I thought Kate looked utterly elegant.

Maireas · 17/04/2021 18:51

I agree about Kate, she did look elegant - the pearl necklace is beautiful.

The photo of the Queen all alone in her pew was so poignant.

Maireas · 17/04/2021 19:25

Did you see the bit at the end when she was walking out and turned slightly to look behind her? He was always there, wasn't he. A few paces behind.

I did have a little gulp when HMQ dipped her wide brimmed hat during the service and I suspect was having a little cry. She looked so tiny and elderly, whereas at Christmas, she was looking amazing and so sprightly.

Horsemad · 17/04/2021 19:49

A very fitting service today, that HRH would have approved of.

HM did look tiny, it was hard to see her in the pew from the overhead shots.

bananaboats · 17/04/2021 20:01

The photos of the queen on her own were so sad! I thought Kate looked beautiful today.

Horsemad · 17/04/2021 20:06

I've enjoyed seeing all the family photos, especially the ones with the grandchildren. They gave an insight into the family man.

frugalkitty · 17/04/2021 20:29

Thanks for the new thread. I thought the funeral was lovely, from the music played before the procession started, to the sound of the singing inside the chapel. The Last Post. I liked that the commentary was kept to a minimum and thought the comment about how this was the first and last time the DofE went ahead of the Queen was heartbreaking. What a woman she is. I thought Kate looked amazing in her outfit.

Welshponyslave · 17/04/2021 20:45

A beautiful service.

Kate looked perfect. It was lovely to see Sophie put her hand on Kate’s back as they walked. Kate appeared to wipe her eyes with a tissue just before.

I also thought Beatrice looked beautiful, her hair was lovely.

I adored Sophie’s head dress (hat?Headband?),.

KillingMeDeftly · 17/04/2021 20:57

Beatrice's hair is so long! The austere look suits Kate.

paradyning · 17/04/2021 21:11

Did anyone notice Charles limping slightly. He looks like he had a sore hip or something

KillingMeDeftly · 17/04/2021 21:24

Poor Charles, he looked devastated.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 18/04/2021 00:05

A tribute to love
