Queen Elizabeth II

[LangleyBlue1970]

This is magnificent. And I use that word very carefully.

You cannot help but be moved and proud to see this.

 

[Nethermoor]

I told you we do Pomp and prestige really well.

And this is why we should keep the Royals. IMO. It's just nice and very Brtish.

I find this marching very soothing

It is a very beautiful cortege. I had hoped she'd be carried on a carriage, it just seems more fitting than a car.

Don’t tire yourself out it’s a long walk to Brighton:-)

Have they said why Charles and William are in RAF uniform for this ?

Really well?

We are the standard,we may be small,but wevstill have the best Armed Forces on the planet.

This ceremony will be the envy of the world,simply magnificent.

I'm unsure why Harry isn't wearing his uniform since he served 2 tours of Afghanistan

 

[Blue Maverick]

You have my sympathy. What possible excuse can they give ? Part-time c***s.

You know what it will be,the schools, because they’ve given the kids time off then loads of parents have no child care. The kids could’ve watched it in school it would’ve been a great learning experience.
This parade is what we do best and the weather has held of as well, simply stunning spectacle of a somber occasion.

Stripped of his titles pal and I think the uniform as well.

Harry has been told he can’t, but when you see Edward wearing his I’d say they must grate. What did he last? Not even the basic training? Unfair on Harry for me.

Only working royals are permitted to wear uniform, hence the mufti.

Harry and Andrew and currently not serving Royals so the are not wearing military uniforms. The rest of the family are serving Royals so by tradition they wear military uniforms

No longer a working royal , bloody mean if you asked me , two tours of real duty

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Trying to figure out the relevance and timing of the gong, quickly followed by what sound like a firework.

Yes considering he actually served and earned it

Haven't heard it. It looks like the Duke of Gloucester is also in RAF uniform in the third rank.

Just wondered why RAF though and not Army, the beat of the drum is to get them there in exactly 38 mins!

William was in the RAF, based at RAF Valley. Thought Charles was in the Navy so no idea why he would wear an RAF uniform.

Both were in the RAF for a time so I presume that's why
