Westminster Abbey is such a beautiful building
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.
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.
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?

The band is great tbf.
Was Harry not allowed to salute at the cenotaph
Nothing more respectful to the grieving family than sticking your phone up for a photo of a coffin. Twats.
He's policing the United V Leeds match. It's a good game and we're 4-0 up.
I’m on the treatment table with Tony Martial at the moment. I posted about it in the general.
Brings with it other complications. Their feet are so close together, one misstep and its all over.
Yeah it’s very crass isn’t it
He's not in uniform.
Not really.
Not really.
Id say they do
Something a bit surreal about seeing all this.
Couldn't find it.
Just checked on youtube and it's 40k watching, that's like what a no mark guy streaming fifa from his basement gets on an average wednesday.
When we buried the brother in law an old man at bus station taking his hat off in respect was a real stark memorable moment. The royals must really hate the gawking public here, how can you not.
As much as I'm an anti-monarchist I'm sure they must themselves hate most of those they 'serve'.
Doubt many are outside UK.
Erm ok
A lot of people will be watching on BBC, which is available in a lot of countries worldwide. Youtube isn't a great way to conclude how many are watching.
