The Queen was a big Christian. It's what she would have wanted.

I was under the impression that she had planned the whole service ??

Not near Hugglescote are you? My cousin announced in the family group that was his plan.

Someone should tell that woman at the front of the procession now is not the time to get a selfie stick out.

To be fair, those pallbearers look solid. Two blocks of four, never looked like conceding. Solid as a rock. Didn’t even need a set piece coach

Thought they did a stella job. What a responsibility with the world watching. Some of them had a right sweat on which is hardly surprising.

 

One to tell the grandkids...

[Livid]

Flower throwing ?

I wonder how often they’ve practiced this. 
 

This will surely be the most watched event in world history.

The choreography of the whole thing is massively impressive.

 

I know there's the cost argument but in terms of planning, organization, and implementation, it's been immaculate.

I’m not religious in the slightest, so the interval church ceremony itself means little to me personally. The Queen was the head of the Church, so I can imagine this was how it was planned out. 

 

However the coordination of the ceremony is spectacular. The world has not seen seen anything like this for over 70 years. 
 

It truly is incredibly impressive.

Considering the size of the event it is pretty incredible.

Is it someone’s job to run out onto the route and squash and sand down horse pooh ?
