If all this was in a movie you'd think it was too far fetched. Amazing sight. Credit to all the service men and women. I was OK until the National Anthem at the end of the service. No one does it like us.

Just watch it and buy the DVD, of the whole event, for a tenner.
Why block people's view for a shaky clip you just have to put straight on Facebook.
Sadly we have created a "monster" that is out of control
It’s the same when you go to gigs and even when Sunderland fans are singing, you get loads filming on their phones rather than enjoying the moment. It really annoys me.
There was a couple of women even up on shoulders gig style- no care about the people behind who’d also been there hours only to have their view impeded
Incredible mate, you can see what all the blockbuster films copy, when they want something out of this world.

That was absolutely magnificent
Charles looks absolutely knackered, **** knows how he kept himself together there. Well done to all the lads and lasses involved in that ceremony. Nailed it.

What's with the clapping and cheering, ****ing idiots
Absolutely amazing that - not often you see such a historic moment with such precision and brilliance
The crowds and those flowers at Windsor
I was there on Saturday to pay respect.

I don't mind people clapping and cheering Chunk, I suppose some folk just want to vent their heartfelt emotions. They certainly don't mean offence in any way. It's simply an emotion from the heart.
I have just cleared out about 7 'so called' freinds off a FB Music group. They are all Scottish lads and lasses, who I thought were nice folk.
They are all prpoer anti UK and bork at the 'Great Britain' tag. However, I never knew this until I posted this -
"To all those who are not Royalists, please learn how to show a respect for a Queen who was loved all over the World"
I was blasted from those who felt a propensity to suggest our Queen was a scrounger and a person who killed Lady Diana.
Such disrespect like that doesn't have a place in my life.
Like I say, if your'e not a Royalist, and you're against a Monarchy, then you still don't need to offend those who love the Royals and all that pomp and ceremony...
I didn't like the clapping, cheering and hip hoorays but I think it was people wanting to celebrate her life instead of mourning her passing?
Incredibly emotional.....not a country in the world could do this kind of pomp and ceremony the way the UK can. There are certain times its a joy to be British, today is one of those times

Yeah, apologies it just feels wrong to me to see people clapping and cheering the hearse but as you both said, each person's n shows their respects as they see fit
What a truly wonderful national celebration of her Majesty's life. No wonder we are the envy of the world. From the regalia to the musicianship and how it all fitted together, for moments I was left speechless. Proud to be British, we do BIG occasions very well.
I agree mate didn't feel right to me either, a moment of contemplation as she passed seems more appropriate to me. I strongly disagree with people getting camera and phones out to record or take photos. You wouldn't get your phone out and record it for later at ya Mams funeral so why here. It annoys me that so many people view the world through their phone screens as they record it for social media likes later but I will accept I'm probably in the minority there but today wasn't the time for recording!
