It’s only for themselves but in an instance like this I wonder why anyone would bother when you can save pics and vids off the net that’ll be a million times better.

Oh I’m fairly sure the vids will make it to their Facebook and Twitter profiles…

No doubt I’m just saying there’ll be better footage forever on the net.
 
Wonder if the orb, sceptre and crown are screwed onto the top of the coffin to stop them falling off
 
The only two royals that have actually served in a conflict, and neither of them can wear their uniforms.
 
I went to a funeral once and it said dress code sombre.

Being a little dyslexic I was the only one in the crematorium wearing a big Mexican hat.

I'm surprised that you are not amongst the gathering there today, wearing that old tatty sweaty Cheap Trick Shirt :lol:

Those pall bearers done a fantastic job. Imagine they got their timings slightly out and something fell off the top of it, they'd be off to the tower! Proudest day of their young lives, no doubt.

Felt genuinely nervous for them moving the coffin. I’ve done it a few times and I shit myself so I can’t imagine the nerves doing it in front of the entire world.

The casket is lead lined as well, its all gone off fantastically well considering the amount of people involved, fair play
 
The sceptre and orb are screwed on, don’t think the crown is though.

Probably on the tv screen in castle gardens.
