Are you really that surprised?

Still the Queen was and as it’s her funeral

 

[Swansman]

Say what you will about the idea of Monarchy and the general bedlam that is the UK right now, but nobody does grandiose pomp like we do.

...well, nobody wants to.

Not a Hi Viz jacket in sight.

Quite hypnotic watching this procession post funeral service

Their loss.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

How I would love to be in that procession, locked in to that pounding drumbeat, walking as one.

Not that you or i would know that of course…still must be the first time you’ve knocked one out to it

 

[Durlston]

What a wonderful service. Feel so proud to be British.

For the final time, RIP Her Majesty.

You woke me up

For the final time, RIP Her Majesty.

I really don't think any other nation could organise a service as well as this.
Every single detail has been planned and choreographed to perfection.
RIP.

I have never been in the military, but I think I know what you mean!

Spellbinding


The lament on the loan piper “ Sleep dearie, sleep”. Had me in absolute bits

I agree and I can’t tear myself away from it. The constant beat of the drum just gets me.

But some of the “lines” in the parade have been awful. My grandfather was in the King’s own Company of the First Battalion of the Grenadier Guards before the First World War. I remember watching Churchill’s funeral with him when I was about 12. He would be muttering “look at those lines”.

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.

I wonder where and when - and how often - they practised all that. Mightily impressive..

My heart stops every time those 8 lads have to pick up and move the coffin.

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

What a great honour for them, their loved ones must be so proud.

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.
