What a very unkind horse.

Beautifully dignified and I am happy to see nothing but respect from the onlookers without any of the bad behaviour or disruption which has been feared.

Poor horses

Where's clare balding with all the horse info?!

I thought the mourning sword looked dangerously near her face. It is all very dignified, but I did hear boo at one point. I saw that too joI thought it was sweet.

Strong young fellows with their sarg major. Seen him before somewhere

Half way up phew!

Grannyeggs Wed 17-Apr-13 10:58:11

It must be nerve wracking for them going up those steps.

j08 Wed 17-Apr-13 10:59:05

All up. Thank the lord

Grandchildren! Look so sad.

SO FAR!!!! it's speaking volumes. The streets are lined with people. If the BBC and the media show any volatile areas it won't mean a thing. Too many people there for any damage to the procession to happen and people have seen for themselves how it proceeded.

My faith has been restored in the British Public's ability to show respect, even if it no doubt may be shattered in a short while.

j08 Wed 17-Apr-13 11:03:05

Strong young faces. God guard them always.

j08 Wed 17-Apr-13 11:04:23

Such a long walk.

Grannyeggs Wed 17-Apr-13 11:06:13
