The Queen

[GG26]

Wasn’t sure how much I would watch when I got up this morning, but been glued to it for five hours now. It really got me when God Save the King was sung at the end of the service.

Think there's two of them side by side, insane timing to keep a constant 60 bpm for that long. I'd love to know if they are using metronomes or are just crazy talented.

I thought I heard them say earlier that it's 70 or 75 beats a minute.

Mum, Did you record my big moment ?

They will be some tired legs once they finish..some of them are definitely starting to "trudge"...
Must be extremely hard to keep that slow pace for so long

They have been magnificent, such an honour and responsibility

I was going to have a small send off but after today, I definitely want massed pipes and drums and accompaniment of Blues and Royals

I would have thought that they would have let them stay for the service. What an honour that must have been for them and their families.

It’s been wonderful sight, all the service personnel have done us and her proud.

Precision.

Charlotte and George have been exemplary.
Must be incredibly tedious for them both, being so young

There's been dust in my eyes all day but the lone piper did for me .

Looking at the faces of the Royals today and seeing how emotional they all were hit home that whilst she was our Head of State but she was first and foremost a mother , grandmother and great mother to her family

And of course the corgis

The coverage from the BBC has been exemplary

Oh crikey I'm done

Two words that stood out from so many "most excellent" - for indeed she was.

A rather proud moment and held my breath for a minute when the crown was taken off of the coffin and passed to the Queen’s Bargemaster, Chris Livett, who’s from our company.

We, in this country certainly know how to put on a ceremony. Shares in Kleenex have done well today!

 

[Dando]

Only watched bits of the funeral but what I saw was simply amazing

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Well that was very moving indeed with much our country can be very proud of…and wee word for Kirsty Young at the very end of the BBC broadcast. Some beautiful and fitting words perfectly delivered with barely concealed emotion, she did well to keep herself together.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

A send off that gives you goosebumps, just stunning the level of presicion from the military , and the crowds there , wow , it’s something we won’t ever witness again and we should be proud of The Queen and we should be more proud of our country and the lads and lasses that serve it. It’s a sad moment , a time of loss and it’s very touching for many but today is a ceremony that no one else can do.

The simple but awesome precision and sound of the ‘present arms’ by the Grenadier Guards in the Horseshoe Courtyard in front of St George’s chapel was for me a fitting climax to a whole day of magnificence and precision by our service men and women - supported by our police and other public service personnel.
