Queen Elizabeth funeral and looking forward

[mousefan73]

I mean this is no disrespect to you Brits out there but I’m kind of getting tired of your new PM.i mean she is everywhere. And she’s only PM for one week and because Johnson quit and her party choose her. They could have chosen many others with historical/ personal value over her for this reading.

Here’s the spider

l think Liz Truss needs time to grow into the role - she's not really a great public speaker. I feel that Boris Johnson would have made a much better job of reading.
And you're right of course, her party chose her, not the public to be our PM.

As much as I didn’t like Boris politically I actually looked forward to him speaking about the Queen and he does have a way with words that are non-political. I don’t know anything about British politics but I just have a feeling that Ms Truss Is just another short blimp on the PM timeline. It’s just when I see everyone else here there is some kind of significance - she hasn’t yet earned it. Maybe she will. Like I said I don’t know much about British politics or how well she’s actually known in the country.

Some of the Choristers must be similar in age to Prince George and Princess Charlotte. What an honour for them.

Boris Johnson spoke about the Queen a day or two after her death, and it was most amusing when he said (something along the lines of) the Queen was a bit like a priest who you could tell your secrets to, which was reassuring and disconcerting at the same time. He does have a way with words.

The lovely flowers on the casket are flowers from the gardens at Buckingham Palice, Windsor Castle and Highgrove.. the pink roses are just perfect, a gorgeous shade of pink..

I wonder if Louis threw a fit not being able to go. Or maybe he’s there. Would be cute if him and Maria were watching above. Inthink Onsaw people sitting in the encloves

The King is just barely holding it together.. I feel for him - duty over heartbreak.

 

[mamamia2005]

I have to say, I think the coverage I'm watching (BBC) they have been very sensitive to the royal family and haven't focused in on their faces too much at all.

 

[mousefan73]

Pretty sure BBC was told when/where to place cameras. Now the poor pallbearers again. My nerves. !

 

[mousefan73]

I just did a quick Google in the article I read said that normally you need 6 pallbearers but due to the extra weight of her coffin there is 8. And the issue was not her remains but the fact that it’s a special coffin to be entombed ( heavy)

Yes, I noticed that too. But they did show Charles as God Save the King began and ended....he was quite emotional. Imagine waiting your whole life to hear that song, but it also means that you're having to bury your Mother. I have to hand it to the Brits....quite a display and send off for your Queen.

I’m behind you guys but up and watching. More emotional than I expected to be about it all. The end of an era for sure.

Did something happen with William when they came out of Westminister? I didnt see him next to Harry, when they were waiting for the coffin to be back on the carrier, I only saw the man in a similar uniform behind Harry.

The first time the camera's were back on the royals, William was back again, but his row was not very aligned.

Such an honour to see Canada represented by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

They look resplendent.

 

[dvcgirl67]

Wow...you can certainly see why they've been planning this for a decade....amazing procession.

Are Princess Anne’s oldest granddaughters not in attendance? I didn’t see them.

I don't think we will ever see a funeral like this in the Western world ever again.

I didn't see them either. Maybe further back with the rest of the RF?
