The horse and the Corgis! Not a dry eye!

lovely to see her animals

Martin Tylers words (yes I know) right after Aguero scored are rather apt here.

"I swear you'll never see anything like this again, so watch it, drink it in."

I bet she can hear those pipes this is a great send off, they played Flowers of the forest before.
We are supposed to see inside the chapel hope so.

Her diaries are sealed for one hundred years , cnn

Yes, that is usual. I watched a documentary recently where they went down to the depths of the British Library or somewhere and could read the King’s diary from a century ago for the first time.

Might have been Neil Oliver or Alice Roberts, can’t bloody remember what documentary it was now.

 

[Blue Maverick]

Here they go again don’t drop it

 

[Eccles Blue]

Ohhh this is the hard bit for those lovely pall bearers. Fingers and toes crossed for the lads.

 

[Elbow beards]

The horse and the Corgis! Not a dry eye!

What, even the animals were crying? ;)

 

[Claytop]

These guys have had a busy day.

 

[discopop]

Had a big day these lads, god bless them.

 

[knuckles]

Thats a lot of stairs, good luck lads, take it slow with the 'Boss'

We will never know what her views were , that is for other generations historians to see, probably a bit like mine , fed the animals and watched telly , ha

14 mins late to the steps of the chapel. Tisk tisk.

 

[Kirkstall Blue]

This will be hard all those steps

 

[Blue Maverick]

Why are they holding their rifles like that? Its like its someone job to come up with the mist uncomfortable way of doing things for ceremony.

You mean with hand behind their back? It’s the ceremonial position for the funeral.

 

[Claytop]

Phew, they made it.

I am not a royalist but not anti.

I am not religious but not anti.

But I have been sat on my sofa since 10am and this has been fantastic. Nice to see the queens pony and her dogs.

Britain does this brilliantly.

Me n’all.

I’m very anti-religious but also manged to sit through the ceremony without shouting “load of bollocks” like I usually do when anything religious is on tele.

I’m neither here nor there about the Monarchy. Always felt it wouldn’t affect me in any way at all whether we kept them or abolished them, but I don’t half enjoy big shows of patriotism and this is as good as it gets for that.

I’ve watched the entire thing.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Phew….and relax they made it. Great job lads. A nation thanks you I would think. :-)

14 mins late to the steps of the chapel. Tisk tisk.

What time is the next funeral due? I bet they wont be happy if they have had to wait?

 

[BlueAnorak]

This will be hard all those steps

The crown, orb, cushion and flowers have to be secured to the cofin lid through the Royal Standard
