The Queen

[IanM]

Is there anything more stirring than the sight and sounds of the massed pipes and drums???
Magnificent. The only word for it.

Absolutely splendid ?

Nothing…absolutely nothing…just an awesome and very emotional sound. I think she had played one of the tunes the Queen Mother had played at her funeral…Chi mi an morbheanna…The Mist Covered Mountains of Home…though the QM had it played at a slower tempo if I recall.

Thanks for that, I wondered what it was.
Very haunting and very apt.

Love Divine…oh gosh…tears…?

Welling up at the sight of those Matelots pulling the gun carriage and coffin.

Massive hat tip to the bass drummer who has been keeping a solid and constant beat for an hour or more now. That is skill and stamina

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.

There was one in the drum itself. One of them was being interviewed last week, and explained how they keep the beat.

Incredibly moving

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.

Nice one, never knew that.

So emotional - so proud too...

Edward seemed overcome at one stage - reminder a family have lost their very precious Mum

It's hard not to be bursting with pride on so many levels today.

An incredibly fitting way to say thank you and goodbye.

Excellent service all round, really moving.
And how the Navy ratings ‘slimmed down‘ to get through the arches without breaking step was unreal!

After God Save The King, the lone piper on high playing Sleep Dearie Sleep.

Got me right there and also there
