I normally work most bank holidays but my work is closed to customers, but about 4 colleagues and a manager are in, putting out delivery.

Awwwww, the Queens' pony Emma, and the 2 Corgis had me melting
Well, I get paid for what I produce, not how long it takes, or when I produce it. So bank holidays, bank schmolidays. And I'm taking Thursday to next Tuesday off. That's been planned for months, so even I felt somewhat compelled (as I do some bank holidays through FOMO and general logistics), to take the day off, I probably wouldn't anyway. Stuff to do.
I like a distraction. Unfortunately, distraction for the last week or so has worn thin.

What weight do/did the pallbearers, solo piper, hearse driver and others have/had on their shoulders today?

250-317kg is the estimate of the coffin weight

Imagine having to traipse all the way with one arm behind your back in a weird position for reversed arms.

There'll be a few bears watching this and saying "Look, there's your late Uncle Bruno and Cousin Yogi".

Hopefully some of the single guys can make use of a dead arm.
And a longer Hearse

Here we go! My heart will be in my mouth watching blondie and the one at the back. They seem to struggle the most.

If I could I'd stand those lads a few rounds. No pressure on them, no Sireee...
Had carrigmorna Queen too

Nicely done but all that regalia on top is defying gravity. The crown and cushion should easily have slipped backwards. Maybe stuck on with a bit of velcro.

Actually quite nervous watching them climb those steps. 
Well done lads.

The Rob Beckett doppelgänger is front right if looking at the coffin

Taking a coffin up steps is horrible. Can't imagine trying it up that many. At least these lads are similar in height. Carrying my uncle's coffin when I'm a tad over 6' 3" and the tallest of my three cousins is 5' 9" was kinda awkward.

You live in London and you’ve not been?
It certainly is stunning, far more so in the flesh rather than on T.V.
