I've done it 4 times. Both parents and a couple of uncles. Hated the gig, to be honest. Your overriding feeling is, don't mess it up.I’ve been unfortunate enough to carry coffins before, I was beyond nervous and there were only 100 people there.
Imagine being one of those guards doing it in front of millions, possibly more, and it being the Queen.
It's only really hit home in the last day or so how much change this actually means. I'm not hugely bothered about the monarch (in the sense that I don't get overly defensive over differing opinions) but what she symbolised and the end of the longevity is quite sad.
A real 'constant' in my lifetime to the point where it'll feel strange and wrong that she isn't on the throne anymore. Something that's been taken for granted, by me anyway.
Not watching it, unfortunately. In work over here (not a bank holiday).Ok that's just got me
It’s horrible but then you feel like you’re ducking out of it if you say no.I've done it 4 times. Both parents and a couple of uncles. Hated the gig, to be honest. Your overriding feeling is, don't mess it up.
