Yes. Was it "present arms"?
As for the bearer party - great job lads...flawless. My heart was in my mouth as they carried our Queen up the stairs to the chapel...same as for Prince Philip.

Yes it was…edited. TY. ?
I imagine the bearer party let out a lot of contained emotion when they parted the scene…must have been incredibly tense and emotional. I would have been drained and in tears and not doing much back slapping if it were me. Come to think of it…?

Yes it was present arms which was impeccable
Seen it so many times but that was just on spot
The bearer party flew back from Iraq last week as soon as the Queen passed away

I thought they were absolutely brilliant and didn't put a foot wrong!
Must have been a very proud time for them and carried out with complete honour.
Something else that I thought wonderful was how the Queens gardeners had laid out all the flowers on the grass verges. A fantastic sight, at first I thought that a wild garden had been planted, until a commentator mentioned, all the flowers that had been laid in tribute to the Queen were used in this way.
Amazing!
The whole day was just "Perfect".

Caught the last 15 mins at our guest house in Swellendam. Looked fantastic and Kirsty Walk was amazing. Just then load shedding kicked in and the TV shut down! Now in a restaurant for dinner in semi darkness surrounded by Africaners

Yes the laying of the flowers at Windsor was amazing - also done with military precision and finished perfectly as the grass verge came to a pointed finish.

One of those guys at the front was the step-son of a friend at the golf club. They are somewhat proud parents today!

Do you know if the bearer party have been the same throughout the period of mourning? They looked very much like the party carrying our Queen into Westminster Hall? Of course it could simply be 6 (actually 7 with the one giving the orders) handsome young soldiers doing a simply amazing job.

Those lads should never have to put a hand in their pockets for a beer again.

They are all from the Queens Company ( Grenadier Guards ) - they will have been handpicked because of their height and normally the same 10 people , 8 carrying , two standby and also carrying the bearskins when they are carrying the coffin.
They are the main Queen protection from the Military - did hear they will keep their name Queens Company but move across to the King now . The lads will fly back out to Iraq now

History. Never been more happy to sit on my rear all day to watch this immaculate and respectful event. Stunningly beautiful, sad and grandiose at the same time. ????
The pipers get me all the time. ?

I also think Charles has been brilliant through all this. He’ll make a fine King and his strength as both monarch and a human has shone through in the last 10 days.
What a send off, from start to finish absolutely tremendous.
The Mrs made us an afternoon tea to watch it, washed down with Champagne ?
The pipes getting played always make you proud to be a Scotsman.
We will never see anything like it again in our lifetimes.

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
In Normandy at the moment seeing the memorials etc. yesterday was the British memorial. Today was supposed to be spent in the Gite watching it on the telly with 3 ex Sherwood foresters or Woofers as they like to be known. The owner of the Gite told us it was on a big screen in the centre of Bayeaux. After the Queen was carried into Westminster, we jumped in the car for a 10 min drive to Bayeaux. I can honestly say I have never felt as proud to be British. The respect shown by the French people was superb. The French tv loved three Brits stood there in there finery.
A truly memorable day viewed from afar.

His issues with pens, and inability to move a penholder himself have certainly impressed me
