I agree. When my daughter was young, my mother's husband died suddenly from an aneurysm. He was very much a grandpa to her. We were in shock and made decisions quickly and one of them was not to bring the children to the funeral. My Mom was distraught and said she didn't want the children to be distressed. I just did as my Mom asked. My daughter is very intelligent and was quite mature and insightful for her age. She was upset that she was not there. She's 37 now and has always maintained that it was a mistake and we regret it. With a little planning, sensitivity and cooperation, measures can be taken to allow children to attend a funeral, say goodbye, experienced closure as well as the love and support with their family and community.

Children understand. Whether its a beloved grandparent or a family pet, I think, its important, that children are allowed to be part of it, to say goodbye and to feel part of the family, instead of feeling as an outsider not allowed to show grief, as a friend of mine described it, when she was not allowed to say goodbye to her grandmother.

[@KateLJ1799]

Exactly. It will be something they remember for the rest of their lives. The memories of their great-grandmother, and attending her historic funeral in one final goodbye, will still be with them when they eventually become working royals and are representing the nation themselves.

[@comealongcomealong4480]

@Hilary Harrington D.L.T. Yes, very much at that moment - comprehending the true finality of this Elizabethan Age. But so many other moments for me as well - the lengthy aerial footage of her hearse travelling from Edinburgh to London. Her people able to follow each mile of her final journey. Elizabeth's four children, in slow-step, behind the gun carriage. The lone piper. The panoramic crowds, come to honour and pay their respects. King Charles in the final moments, as his mother's coffin lowered. Prince Edward's visible sorrow. Even the Royal Flag draped across her coffin set me off. And when the patch of the Queen's Regiment was placed on her coffin. (I may not have all the terms quite right.) But certainly a landmark event for our generation - as Queen Victoria's funeral procession was for a previous one.

I watched both services. They were very heartfelt and poignant, capturing the essence of Her Majesty the Queen and focusing on what meant the most to her: Duty, service to others, kindness, humbleness, and her faith. I got a little choked up when it was time to lower the casket below St. George's because that meant she was truly gone now. She's relieved of all the earthly responsibilities, the problems, and the physical pain she endured since the end of last year. Windsor is a beautiful place.

[@continentalgin]

@ROSE Yes, exactly. When I saw the lowering of the casket below floor level, I thought, "This just can't be." It was like someone who has been constant my whole life, just disappearing!" When I was born, she was 28 and already Queen for three years. So, she has just been there, steady and constant my entire life. I almost couldn't bear to see the lowering into the vault.

As an American, the impact of this was still so utterly powerful. The queen took the throne the same year my mother was born. She was a figure of poise and grace for seventy years, and in my opinion she struck a well-balanced chord for ‘working royals’ in how to conduct themselves in their position. She was a leader who accepted her humanity, admitted her mistakes, but did not crow over her successes. As she aged, she grew more comfortable in her skin and showed the younger generation that humor has a place in royal life.
