Queen Mothers Funeral Part 6 

Great to hear Bach's Passacaglia and Fugue, such a moving piece that really gets your emotions pounding.

It is so commendable that the Kings and Queens (and grand dukes and sovereign princes) all came to support the queen. She never goes, she always sends one of her children.

I have a huge respect for the Princess Royal...she's always been under-rated it seems, yet she always seems to approach matters with oodles of common sense...and her appearances (totally against tradition) at this funeral are wholly characteristic...god bless you ma'am...

I just love the bagpipes and drums in the background!

@amgor2000 Yes, that was Princess Alice, the Queen's cousin. She lived to be 102 I think, outbeating the Queen Mother.

But I wonder why Queen Beatrix wasn't present. As an anecdote of Queen Elizabeth II once said, "That's quite Ductch of her."

Anyone know the song that the organist is playing. Its amazing!

You're right, it wasn't Princess Alice. Princess Alice was unable to atten, I think. But it did kinda resemble her.

Um...that's the Westminster Abbey pipe organ sounding J S Bach's Passacaglia and Fugue in C-minor for 90% of this. But the pipe are nice at the end.

Lovely take on the Passacaglia by the organist.

No, it isn't. The grave is a bit more towards the altar ;)

Thats a very long coffin for a woman that was very short.
