Funeral of Queen Elizabeth II: The congregation stands as the Last Post is played

[@sharonknighten1878]

I HAVE NO APPROPRIATE WORDS GOD BLESS OUR GRACIOUS QUEEN RIP

[@JamesSmith-qy3eu]

Pass the sick bag.

[@goldleadergaming340]

God speed Queen Elizabeth, may god grant you a seat at his right hand

[@england1413]

My whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be dedicated to your service. That service has ended now and you can rest. RIP.

[@carterjones8126]

Goodbye, you're Majesty.

[@rwboa22]

My thinking was that Last Post would be the one they played at Prince Philip's funeral.

[@Hadlad90]

Played because she was commander in chief of the armed forces

[@samking854]

That’s wasn’t the same last post as the one played at my friends funeral a couple of weeks ago

[@mantabond]

The last post for a monarch, being commander-in-chief, would, naturally, be slightly different. But the notes are similar. . .for Commonwealth countries, such as mine.

[@samking854]

My friend actually worked for the queen shoeing her horses

[@mantabond]

@@samking854 What a privilege. I bet he will miss Her Madge.

[@GK-rw2op]

Why did the morons cut it off as the epic church organ started to play ?

[@MrBulky992]

Unless there is more than one "Last Post", this is definitely not the "Last Post", which most of us have heard many times in our lives at Remembrance ceremonies. The "Last Post" is one of the most familiar tunes to those brought up in Commonwealth and is unmistakeable and this is not it. It's amazing that not a single reporter or commentator has brought up this point in any of the mainstream media, given how much coverage the funeral had. Just when one wants the hushed commentary to tell us something salient about the proceedings, it doesn't.

[@MrBulky992]

@Cooper Papinaeu You are right. I wouldn't describe it as a version, though, as, apart from the name, it is completely different from the infantry version.

[@Hadlad90]

The first piece of music is the reveille, then followed by the last post. Perhaps as she was commander in chief it was a modified version.

[@MrBulky992]

​​@@Hadlad90I have since found out that there are, indeed, two completely different Last Posts: one for the infantry (the most familiar one, played at tge Cenotaph in London on Remembrance Sunday) and another for the cavalry (the one played here, presumably because it is the State Trumpeters of the Household Cavalry who are playing it).

[@MercuryCircuit]

R.I.P. Queen Elizabeth. We will not forget you.

[@richardbryan8062]

Where was the last post??? Nice music but wrong title

[@CaffeinatedMoustache]

IT isn't, this is the cavalry version of the last post

[@markbamfield]

Its the Cavalry Last post. Played by the Household Cavalry.

[@nicksullivan480]

that was not the last post, before or after the 2 minute silence. at least not the one i know. Any ideas? A reveille? Intrigued.

[@markbamfield]

Its the Cavalry Last post. Played by the Household Cavalry. Listen and you will hear the 'Trot march'

[@timhannah4]

I didn't hear the Last Post!

[@markbamfield]

Its the Cavalry Last post. Played by the Household Cavalry.

[@rwboa22]

​@@markbamfieldLast Post to me would be the one the RMs played at Prince Phillip's funeral.

[@WhiteCamry]

If this was "Last Post," then it wasn't the same as that played for Prince Philip at his funeral: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXbcZImkl8uLe9U

[@jimbo1066]

The one you’ve linked is the Last Post played on Remembrance Sunday. I’m told this version here is the Cavalry Version

[@markbamfield]

Its the Cavalry Last post. Played by the Household Cavalry.
