The funeral. thread with no unkindness

from me too, ga

A very moving ceremony,(I have only just watched the Highlights) the solemnity and splendour of the Funeral was a joy to watch, we do ceremonies well don't we?
A fitting end to an amazing lady of our time.

I hardly dare say this, but did anybody else think of it as a sort of dress rehearsal for QEII/DofE's funeral? I could just imagine notes being taken and observations made for future reference.

I did wonder what was going through their minds. I was also amazed at how well the Queen looked [although I thought she'd lost weight].

There was a little moment just before the start of the actual service when the cameras were on the Queen and HRH, and Philip made a remark to the Queen.
The Queen turned to him and briefly replied, but continued to look at him for several seconds and it was easy to imagine that she was delivering one of those 'shut up and bl**dy ell behave yourself' looks that any of us who have been married for some time are well practised in

Yes, I think he asked her if she was alright, and the look meant, "don't start fussing"!

Sel! No! just a degree of astonishment.
