Queen Elizabeth II has passed away - keep posts civil and respectful

[Chris Wilson]

Maybe it's the Dubonnet and Gin but I'm finding this much more moving than the earlier ceremony. It might even be dusty in here.

Rest in Peace, Queen Elizabeth II, we will not see your like again.

I'm typing crass humour, but I can barely see the keys, to be honest, (but my wife does say i even cry at cartoons, she's made of harder stuff...). I have no embarassment in saying I have red eyes, and it's not the booze. A dazzlingly fitting tribute to one of the very best. Mr. Jack, I agree, sadly I fear we see the end of a remarkable era, a truly remarkable reign.

Jees, the King was really struggling to keep it together there.

Wow, that moment was unreal. So glad I have had the opportunity to see this, RiP Maam.

Just watching all this unfold, very moving, historic, emotional in many respects. Definitely RIP that women, the Queen.

Just a quick one as well, the bearer party, get them lads a drink when they knock off.

Definitely get them all the drinks… it was anxiety inducing just watching them!

Id be balling my eyes out. I'm sure nobody would have batted an eyelid if he let some tears slip.

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.

Next time use pads and blocks, mate. The undertaker should have them.

It's a shame we can't watch the final ceremony this evening, it would be interesting to see what kind of ceremony it actually is and what happens

I disagree. Some things should be left private.

You're right it would be interesting but Charles and the rest of the family deserve the opportunity to say goodbye without the pomp and affair and public eye.

What’s the point of having news after this? Just put highlights on the red button

This has arguably been the most globally viewed funeral in history. To have to share it with such a large audience must be surreal. The family deserve some privacy.

Beautiful parting words from the BBC presenter just now.

What an incredible occasion to be a part of and I feel honoured to have watched it all.

She will be greatly missed.

This is a private interment and I respect the RF for having one private service

Whilst it would be interesting, i dont want to watch a room full of grown adults cry.

 

[Diddums]

I'm not crying you're crying

I'm not crying you're crying

It was a moving service

 

[bjorkiii]

Am wondering if they will be having tuna in brown breadbuns at the buffet? Always taste nicer at a funeral.

I would hope that they can, finally, in private have that opportunity to grieve and let it out.

Amazing. Impeccable the whole past few days. Just incredible really the majesty of it all, the precision. Very very impressive. God bless the Queen! It’s going to take some time for it to fully sink in.

I think the royal family have been amazing. The King especially. The man is in his 70’s, the effort he’s already put in, he will be a fine King I am certain of it.

The whole thing has been done under the worlds gaze I'm glad they're going to have a proper private farewell.

Hopefully won't see them doing any public stuff for a while either all this stuff just must be emotionally exhausting. Anyone who has lost close family knows what it's like, then imagine doing it like they've had too.
