Well done to the BBC for their coverage. Some people resent paying the tv license but this is worth it

It's on ITV too

Glad wasn’t raining today and during people queuing up to see the Queen’s coffin in Westminster Hall. That would be depressing

I'm actually watching on Sky as Alastair Bruce is excellent.

The weather has actually played ball amazingly well over the last 10 days. Didn't even rain in Scotland!

Would have been miserable stood in that queue in torrential rain all night.

The American commentators are destroying this moment lol!
One said "I'll pause while she passes Buckingham Palace....."
She stopped talking for literally about 3 seconds and then all carried on.

Don't think I look at some of these uniforms in the same way again.

Truly spectacular.

The weather has been kind to us. Probably the Queen sent a message to Mother Nature ‘please be kind to the weather’ on her way to heaven with Philip

Just counted, would appear so.

Edit: It’s 75 steps a minute.

The guns and Big Ben also go every minute. The marchers were told to listen to metronome at 75 bpm to get the correct pace for the marching.

But....why?
My dad is watching it saying I should be also as its history, the whole british pride thing is very odd to me, I didn't contribute anything.

Yes I don't understand how people can feel proud in themselves from the actions of others, I feel proud in things I do myself

It's a great spectacle but I can also understand why people may not think so because it is steeped in archaic tradition and imperialism

The sun is coming out for her last journey.

Yeah, some are stuck in that broadcaster mindset where you need to be constantly talking, they forgot this is a funeral and the silence speaks volumes.

Air force 1 is up in the air, So I'm assuming the dignitaries are on their way home.

GRIM99, the E4b National Emergency Airborne Command Post (NEACP) is airborne from Mildenhall as well.

Biden has left the country.

What’s the piece of music which is used for Rememebrance Sunday and some of the marching
