Magnificent

Well done Londoners et al, out in vast numbers, you’re amazing.

William was very unsure of the words in the hymns.

Slightly ironic when you consider he's going to be the head of his own religion sometime in the next 20 or so years.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Heart wrenching & Heart warming….

Goodbye Liz xx

 

[LamieRobertson]

Respect

I just said 'well done lads' when they passed The Queen over to the hearse for the last time ... and relax ...

Yes they deserve their pint later on.

Excellent to see our servicemen and women all dressed up for the pomp and parades. Absolutely massive occasion for our country. I love all of this, it's what makes us unique. I'm definitely going up to the cenotaph for Remembrance Sunday if possible, this year. It does make me proud, yes.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I'm not sure I can find the words to describe that procession that would do it justice.

So many of those servicemen and women are so young. How proud they must be to play such an important role.

The Naval ratings on the gun carriage were all volunteers, some of whom have only been in the service a few months. Women in the section for the very first time.
BZ to every one of them. Inch perfect.

To those asking about rehearsals - they’ve been rehearsing for hours on end at Collingwood and Raleigh.

Put it this way, since the Queen passed away, the whole process from start to finish, has been one big military operation, which from an inside perspective is fantastic to be a part of.

And not a bottle of water or smart phone in sight. How did they survive?

Made me very proud to be part of such a wonderful country. Moving.

More to the point - how do they (and the royal family) survive so long without needing to spend a penny?

Not sure it's the last time - who's doing the job in Windsor?

Wow ... that's amazing

Ah yes ... hadn't thought of that!

Perhaps they'll need a fresh lot to tackle those steps!

 

[Is it PotG?]

Talking of steps, are those Crown Jewels secured by sticky tape?

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Some of those horses look like they might kick off at any moment

Charles looks very sad, poor bloke.

Same lads…….

Everything so beautifully planned and rehearsed.

Then the common touch. The horse shit. The one thing you cannot prepare for or repel. When Ned's gonna go he's gonna go. And some of the paraders literally had to walk through it unwavering. The stiff upper sole.

I love my country.
