Queen's state funeral.

[cesare]

Yes I think it must have been.

I‘m, like, reverse-interested in this military stuff so I’ve never seen or heard of an of this stuff

It was far more interesting than I thought it'd be. I had no intention of watching the procession but I got caught up in the spectacle and bits of info.

I liked the wreath info especially the Myrtle.

Do you reckon the private family ceremony tonight will be conducted in their lizard form

Along with metal pikes and helmets pointed directly at the sky ....

Lightening rods at the ready!

Na they're more inclined to sit in their PJs having a long hard chat about what to do with Harry.

First floor lady's jewelry going down...!

 

[tonysingh]

Big fucking candles them eh?

Probably bolted on because when the carriage left Westminster Hall at George V’s funeral the imperial state crown fell off.

I heard it was the cross that fell orf that crown on that occasion.

Pre-broken wand disappointment.

Why don't they update some of the lyrics? Surely would have been time for a 2022 remaster.

When they took her to Westminster hall via horse-drawn gun carriage the other day the horses doing that job spent the whole time looking unhappy. It was the main thing I noticed during that event.

Sadness in their eyes.

I guess a lot of their training is about how to tolerate guns and drums and also standing about for hours and hours and hours.
(which I guess is pretty much the job description for a cavalry horse tbh)

Walking slowly for a long time must be quite tricky for a four legged animal that evolved to run like the wind.

I have friends who used to train parade horses. I know it sounds cruel, but they'd light fireworks near them to get them used to sudden noises.

And the co-ops open...

From what I can see all horse grimacing has some element of cruelty involved

I'll save you a description of how my neighbors back home train dogs for dog racing.

I was perfectly prepared to accept it as accurate horse-training jargon

They’re doing it again. The blokes in the bearskins carrying their guns with one arm tucked behind their back and holding the barrel there.

He's carrying them for the pallbeareres, right? Kinda like the one in your group who doesn't like rollercoasters so will happily wait by the ride exit with all the bags/coats

That's my breakfast ruined.

His daughter, the first Elizabeth, also exploded. During the lying in state, a 'crack' was heard from the coffin as her 'head and body broke' due to gas build up. They said it would've been even worse had she not been disembowelled prior to embalming. Enjoy your lunch!

 

[cesare]

Was there anything interesting about the internment worth watching?

The co-op and the curry house are rammed in our village. Free pint whilst you wait though. Worth popping out after all.

Some army horses get spikes put round their necks to stop them resting their necks

They performed a sleight of hand. The cameras went to piper outside the main Chapel and then abracadabra she was gone!

The Garter Principal King of Arms (the guy who proclaimed Charles with the hip hips) did a good reading over the descending coffin, he should have been an actor in period dramas, although I guess he basically is.
