I just wanted you to know that I watched about two-and-a-half hours of the funeral procession as well as most of the funeral of the Queen. (Delayed, on YouTube, but still...)
I was amazed to see how broken King Charles was when the coffin was lowered into the vault. Over the years, I thought his relationship with his mother was stormy, so the obvious grief took me by surprise.
It was a lovely tribute to a monarch who was steadfast and in touch with the people. It was a hard job, but she did it well.
May she rest in peace.
Greetings Face.
It was a most impressive event , was it not.
We also watched on YouTube later with a few beers to ease things .
On the day your moose was waiting at Windsor near the castle to say Tally-ho! The queues in London were just to long and the crowds to large for my inner monkey to cope with, during the week. So Westminster hall was out of the question.
Kind of strange, only met her 4 times but discovered that she was more than just a picture on the banknotes and coins.
For Charles and the rest of the gang she was and still is mummy....regardless of any differences.
It is the length of her reign that made this most difficult, medieval kings came and went on a conveyor belt. They were mostly unpleasant creatures so the passing was just an excuse for a party. With queens all bar Mary and Matilda who wasn’t crowned, there is always an attachment with the people.
Enough of my noise, hope you are keeping well. Will attempt to pop in later.
