Queen’s funeral: Service at Westminster Abbey for Queen Elizabeth II

Показать описание
It has been a day filled with ceremony and spectacle, but also heavy with emotion here in central London.

The parks, squares and streets filled with hundreds of thousands of people.

And yet the sound of silence prevailed for hours, interrupted here and there by the drum beat of marching, the thud of canons or the clatter of hooves.

The coffin was taken by procession this morning from Westminster Hall to the Abbey, bourne by the State Gun Carriage of the Royal Navy - following the service it is being taken by procession again to Wellington Arch at Hyde Park Corner, via Whitehall and Horse Guards Parade, and along the Mall, with the route lined by members of the Armed Forces.

The hearse will then make its way to Windsor Castle, followed by the King and other senior Royals.

I’m not a big Royalist or anything being Irish but the funeral was so moving. Was like watching a movie. Those pipes and drums were hauntingly good.

I travelled to London yesterday and camped out on the mall from 10pm till the end.
Words can't describe the monumental day we just had.
The greatest send off in world history.
London you did her proud.

I just realized, the 4-day long lying-in-state has a symbolic meaning behind it. 4 days ... 96 hours, one for each of the years the Queen lived. Don't know if this was made on purpose or "just happened" but it made it all the more special.
RIP.

Magic scene the 140+ navy servicemen pulling the gun carriage with Her Majesty's coffin on it, for Prince Philip, with sound of pipes - magic. 😐

This Brit-American watched it from beginning to end! A gorgeous ceremony to honor a great queen and her 70 year reign! Bagpipes always stir the Scottish and Irish in me as well. Princess Charlotte and Prince George were the epitome of well brought up children! May the Queen rest in peace~ "God Save the King" ♥
