You sound like your enjoying your day off.
players have been wandering around, ina very static and predictable pattern. no great sense of urgency. crowd subdued and the new black kit looks shit.
Are these lot all off down the pub now?
Thankful for the day off yet spends it watching the funeral and complaining about the very same thing on the Caf.
Classic!
Probably Westminster the beers cheaper there..
Is it over yet?
Looks like a giant chess match with the king and queen with a black and white tiled floor.
The pall bearers are doing a cracking job, tbf.
Donny didn't even get his 5 minutes. Fumin'.
quite rude of the dude with the eye patch to be wearing it on the eye closest to the queen.
It will never be over. They'll re-run it for the next 25 years.
I caught a glimpse of it in the supermarket (in France) for about two seconds.
We haven’t even got started yet, another 7 hours to go before they cut the rolling footage.
Is she being buried or put in a Perspex box, what’s the story?
Organist have been shocking, no patterns of play, just relying on individual brilliance.
i hope you carried a leg of lamb on your shoulder around the freezer aisles to pay homage to such an occasion.
Westminster Abbey is such a beautiful building
And doffed my cap.
We eat sheep in France.
The pallbearers are doing a great job here. You can't make a mistake doing that.
she’ll be stuffed and then put on display in madame tussauds.
Exceptional discipline and concentration
Ohhhh yessss
Whole world watching, too. Can't switch off for a moment. The concentration, organisation, and precision of all this really is something else.
There’s 8 pallbearers tbf we only ever get 6..
Pogba told him to do it.
The coffin has the crown jewels on it - must weigh an absolute ton.
yeah feck doing stairs.
Yeah I suppose the tracks of the coffin will be in their shoulders tonight..
I was fine with the carrying, but I had to lower my mamgu into the ground, and for some stupid reason I wrapped the rope around my hands. When the others started letting the rope out it became obvious what I'd done, and the vicar exasperatedly asked "What are you doing?" with loads of people looking on.
It's been years and it's still something that'll pop into my head every now and then at night and make me cringe
Pallbearers are the MVPs here. Horrible job and they’ve been impeccable. Yes there’s 8 of them but that coffin probably weighs x2 a normal one and has the bloody Crown and sceptre on top! They also have the eyes of the entire world on them.
It's lead lined, essentially airtight, as she's going into a vault.
Procession is immaculate
Has Rob Stark turned up yet? The Targaryens?
Why aren't you on duty? Or perhaps you are and you're giving a first hand account?
feck these people with their phones out. I know it's on TV, but still...
Yeah it's really heavy mainly because fo that, no wonder they were sweating their balls off.
The band is great tbf.
Was Harry not allowed to salute at the cenotaph
