Does everyone else hold their breath as the pall bearers manoeuvre the coffin?

MaggieFS · 12/09/2022 14:40

I know what you mean!

Think Camilla has cadges a lift 😂

QuebecBagnet · 12/09/2022 14:41

Yes, when they lowered it and had the coffin in their arms not their shoulders I was holding my breath. Must be so heavy.

how far is it to walk, they’re going very slowly .

MaggieFS · 12/09/2022 14:41

Yes I thinks she has! They said she'd be in the procession, so I assumed walking, which did strike me as odd!!

Camilla and Sophie are in the car.

I was surprised when they said they were walking as well. I was expecting it just to be the four of her children.

Must be hard to drive that slowly

MrsLargeEmbodied · 12/09/2022 14:43

nerve wracking watching them manoeuvre the coffin

JustLyra · 12/09/2022 14:43

@QuebecBagnet Its only a mile

The hearse driver must be so nervous with people walking so close to the car

Who is walking behind the King and his siblings?

Must be hard to drive that slowly

And with all of those people walking so close by. The driver must have such a limited field of vision.

Do you think the staff in the hearse come from the undertakers or are actually palace staff or security staff?

Why do the BBC need to keep yakking?

I'd love to know too. I'm watching on BBC and they haven't said yet, if anyone else knows?

I have goosebumps watching it. The silence is palpable. Very respectful.

OhMerde · 12/09/2022 14:45

It's quite something to witness.

QuebecBagnet · 12/09/2022 14:45

Who is behind Charles?

QuebecBagnet · 12/09/2022 14:45

X post with everyone else! 😁

QuebecBagnet · 12/09/2022 14:46

I thought it migh5 be Peter Philips but no other grandkids so seems unlikely?

Yes. Especially when they have to lower it to slide it into the hearse.

ApolloandDaphne · 12/09/2022 14:46

Just the sound of the horses hooves is very fitting.

Who is walking behind the King and his siblings?

Tim Lawrence, Princess Anne’s husband is in the row behind and the rest are members of the Queen’s household in Scotland.

I also assume that the guys with earpieces walking behind the four are security guys.

InglouriousBasterd · 12/09/2022 14:46

I think it’s red button for no commentary - it has been for other ceremonies anyway.

smilesy · 12/09/2022 14:47

Its really moving and spectacular. I really hope the police horses don’t need a poo…

MrsLargeEmbodied · 12/09/2022 14:47

wonderful respectful silence from the crowds

MaggieFS · 12/09/2022 14:48

There is actually a lady walking in heels! The last person on the LHS alongside one of the range rovers. She's brave.
