I wouldn't imagine any other monarch to receive well-meaning applause as their coffin drives by. Someone like the Queen will never be seen in our lifetimes again.
The way SEG made an honour guard with their heads bowed at the gates of Buckingham Palace after escorting her all the way from RAF Northolt was a touching gesture.
Everybody so sad. Am I the only one that feels great sense of pride above all? Yes, I feel the grief but the sense of pride is greater. I hope his majesty feels the pride
That day it was passing it down outside… yet everyone was lined up from where she landed in London all the way to Buckingham palace for a 20+ min journey
All smiles turned upside down when she died. A truly sad moment for the United Kingdom - the best Monarch we ever had ! I was so fortunate to have been born during her reign.
Indeed, the death from which you flee - indeed, it will meet you. Then you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, and He will inform you about what you used to do."
I actually do not believe for one minute that HM's body was in that hearse, even up in Scotland. HM's remains would have been the most precious cargo in living memory and the journey would possibly have been fraught with danger. I still believe there were other arrangements made to absolutely ensure HM's remains were buried in Windsor.
I am wondering why Old Jug Ears didn't have his mother's coffin flown to all the countries in the Commonwealth? I mean they dragged it thru Scotland and England after all. Why not add another 51 or 52 countries to the repitoire.
