I’m not a very religious person, but the Church of England has a very distinct beauty which I haven’t seen in all my travels and research. I cannot put my finger on it. It seems almost “royal” in itself.

As Ralph Waldo Emerson said 150 years ago, its motto is "by taste are ye saved".

The Queen's Chamberlain has a wand which for the first time in history will be formally broken on TV, and buried with Her Majesty's body.

A wand. Who knew?

It's always happened, just not on TV (obviously).

Im not a royalist by any stretch, but days like this make me proud to be british, very moving, certain things only we do to perfection, this being one of them

I’m finding this procession down the country lane just as moving, if not more so, than the procession through London. Very touching, a handful of people in extreme quiet.

I used to live in Windsor and it is strange seeing the procession travel a route that I know very well.

Interesting seeing armed officers clearly visible in Windsor now, when they were less obvious earlier in the day in London (from the bits I managed to glimpse on the Sky news YT channel while at work).

Look at all those pricks recording it on their phones. It’s a fucking funeral procession ffs. Do they whip their phones out every time they see a hearse drive past?

Some go on football threads instead to talk about it.

 

[balotellishaircut]

That black fellow that’s at the side of the hearse is called Twumasi Ankrah, he used to be/ was the Queens equerry, he spoke on TV the other day how he loved working for the Queen, and how family meant everything to her.

Worse than that some go to football matches and watch the game through them.

That's only a portion of it Kaz. The longer part is across the road that they drove down before turning iup toward the castle., it goes up to the statue of George the Third atop The Copper Horse. The sculptor said he would commit suicide if he made a mistake on the statue and unfortunately he forgot the stirrups for the horse and rumour has it that his ghost haunts the site to this day.

Put your phones away, live the moment and watch it through your eyes.
