Looking at the photo of Charlotte crying, scroll down and it looks like the future king is bugging her. Look at his face, boys will be boys.
 
As I look at the photo of Charlotte crying I scroll down, to me it looks as though the future king is bugging his sister. Look at his face, boys will be boys.
 
Well done, Holly. Elizabeth R must have been the most photographed woman on the planet over her lifetime. To see her in formal and informal settings over the decades is delightful. Her expressions from spontaneous laughter to "we are not amused" reveals her human side. Her love of horses and dogs, especially the dogs, is truly heartwarming.

How I wish I had the benefit of bespoke hats, coats, shoes and dresses but I wouldn't want to take on her public role for even one week, let alone a whole lifetime.

Thank you Holly for starting this thread, for all the information and history imparted by you. For all the fabulous photos of Her Majesty, I especially enjoyed the ones with her pets. My favourite was where she was feeding her dogs, scarf on her head and what looks to me like a chamber pot under the table. :ROFLMAO: if you turn it around there will be a handle. The mind boggles.
And I am only still halfway through the funeral.
 
I've watched every moment and will never regret doing so. I so appreciate every single person who participated, from all the ones 'out front' to all those who worked in the background and whose faces we never saw, including the wonderful volunteers so cheerfully helping/guiding all who travelled to London and queued to view Her Majesty in Westminster Hall. Good grief, I couldn't have done that, not for so many hours. The thoughts and feelings shared by those interviewed 'on spec' have often moved me to tears. This morning I heard an audio interview with a man who had flown in from Arizona!

I wish to commend SCOTLAND for the way you tenderly cared for Her Majesty whilst she remained in your care before returning to us in England. To me, the outpouring of respect, appreciation and love I witnessed throughout the Queen's journey from Balmoral equals what we've seen in London.

Every part of what has taken place has moved me in different ways for different reasons. I have cried with our new King and his siblings, witnessing their palpable grief as they so faithfully discharge their duties. Without complaint. The way they have met with and given time to so many people, just ordinary citizens who wanted to honour The Queen. But what really undid me this afternoon was seeing those two precious little Corgis, knowing they will never see their mistress again, and she loved them so. And Emma, her favourite horse, standing so nicely on the grass at the side of the road, then gently stamping her foot as the hearse drew near. Such personal, intimate moments, and the King and his family chose to let us in to see all of it. I found it hard to swallow as I watched the the Crown Jeweler, Mark Appleby, remove the crown, sceptre and orb from the coffin, and the Lord Chamberlain break his wand of office, signifying the end of his service to the Queen as sovereign...

The lads and lasses gave Her a good send off. Kudos to all concerned.

@hollydolly I really think BBC and Sky News, at least, should pay you for your 'reporter at large' contributions here 🥂💐
 
Holly, you are our heroine today for giving us your own personal programme on Her Majesty.
Many heartfelt thanks. I felt like Seren at so many of those personal moments.
i watched so much of it, at different times and will go back to looking more on YouTube.
Along with things others have mentioned, I’ll forever remember that look on King Charles’ face when they sang God Save the King to him.
and all those peoples., solders and other groups, most young but many on in years, marching along never missing a beat, keeping the same postures for what seemed like endless miles.
As a mum, all I could think of was hoping there would be cold drinks and good meals for them when the processions were over.
