It’ll be interesting to see if the rumours that he’s being allowed to wear uniform on Monday are true.

The commentator said he will be as a nark if respect 🤔

Do you think they keep Charles and William as separate as they can , just in case, hence why no William here ?

I don’t think it’s that.

Its about stopping it becoming too massive. You can’t really have William without giving the other grandchildren their place as well. So you end up with rows and rows of people which takes longer.

They keep that for the actual funeral.

Is there a No Commentary option on red button?

They are doing really well to keep in order considering the narrowness of the road. Is that the Royal Mile?

Yes there is but Sky is also good , relevant commentary but not too much

Mooserp · 12/09/2022 15:00

Switched over to ITV, crowd noise is much more prominent

Try Sky, commentator knows his stuff and when to zip it.

It’s a very curious one.

The only way it’ll be a mark of respect is if the Queen picked the very specific uniform for him to wear, but it’s an odd one given she stripped him of his military roles.

I'm not a monarchist at all but the funeral is going to be incredible . Love to see things done well

PizzaFunghi · 12/09/2022 15:01

And I too wish the bbc guy would shut up a bit. I don't want to watch with no commentary as I like to know who the people are and what is happening generally, but he seems determined fill every second with mindless words, really slowly, that just don't have much meaning. He could just tell us when useful things need to be known

I don't have sky or anything either

The Royal Mile or the High Street.

Thanks

Walking up that hill that slowly must be so uncomfortable.

They keep saying Andrew will wear military uniform at the vigil as a mark of respect for the queen. Seems bizarre, if she specifically stripped him of his military roles. In fact it seems disrespectful for him to just wear a uniform that he's not meant to. Though I guess he could wear the uniform from his own time in the military, which can't be taken away like the other honours. (But if he can wear his old uniform then, why not now?)

I think once you’re out the military it’s poor form to wear uniform unless you’re a working royal.

Beachbreak2411 · 12/09/2022 15:02

Watching on itv and it’s good coverage!
disnt hear the shouter though!!
that poor horse looks really unhappy 😭
the security at the front must be on hooks!
and there will be tons of plain clothes in the crowd for sure.wish the crowd would shut up a bit!!
🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Marmite27 · 12/09/2022 15:03

Charles looks like he’s limping a bit.

stillherenow · 12/09/2022 15:03

Why is that horse struggling so much, surely they picked the calmest horses?

MaggieFS · 12/09/2022 15:03

Yes it should probably be the moment of that mounted officer's career and I bet they just can't wait for it to be over.

They seem to have to have very straight legs too. Way to knacker your hips

CPL593H · 12/09/2022 15:04

The (very obviously security services) 4 guys in front, 2 in morning suits and 2 in anoraks, constantly scanning the crowd.

That horse is is not helping my blood pressure.

smilesy · 12/09/2022 15:04

Andrew isn’t wearing uniform at the funeral. Only when he takes part in the vigil around the coffin. Hopefully that will be in the middle of the night.

Redqueenheart · 12/09/2022 15:04

I really feel for the police woman who has to deal with a very unhappy, agitated horse...
