The funeral. thread with no unkindness

Not unkind, just funny

I am finding it ver moving, love that hymn.

Tel Wigan looP

Am sitting here listening to the telly in the background (using it like a radio but occasionally popping my head out of the study where I am meant to be working) and enjoying the music, and came on to GN and found this welcome thread. Don't know that much about the Thatcher era - because like people born after her time in office, I'm a newcomer to this country so a lot of it is either superfluous to me or over my head. So I am simply enjoying the spectacle and agree with JO 10:42 post, no one does it like this country. Impressive and quite moving really.

Love this one!

Lovely hymn.

Did the duke wipe away a tear. He is concerned for her.(queen)

Me too Pogs. I was going to go there but changed my mind.but this way I can see it all.

Such a long walk.

Strong young faces. God guard them always.

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.

Grandchildren! Look so sad.

All up. Thank the lord

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

Half way up phew!

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

I like the thread jo

London so still

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.

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

Poor horses

Agree with j08, great show.

Duke asked queen if she alright. Nice
