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
