As a retired Army Officer in the United States I want to simply say that this is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. The pageantry mixed with solemnity is unmatched. I hope I'm not out of line with saying that may God bless Her Majesty!

Served in the colours (Army) for 16 years. Some of that time as part of US units. Proud to have you as part of us if only as part of a solemn moment. Not sure why you feel you're being out of line, on the contrary you're being nothing but respectful as I would expect of a US Army Officer. My Father served this grand lady for 18 years of his service as an artilleryman. My Mother served 6 years as a physical training instructor. My family, down both paternal and maternal lines, served the colours in both wars, the years between and the struggles in the years after WW2. Both lines suffered badly as their oath of allegiance and loyalty expected of them. Many bore many scars and some paid the ultimate price for the freedom their legacy offered me and eventually entrusted to me. In my 70's now and bearing my own scars. The only one of my line who served, still alive. My wife of 38 years is ex USAF. Born in NY and now a British citizen. She admired her Queen immensely - no reason whatsoever why you should not also. Duty and respect are not dirty words in our household. God Save The King!

I’m English, born 1959, and the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II took place six years before I was born, so like most of us Brits she was the only monarch we had ever known until her passing. She was the matriarch of the nation, a constant in an ever changing world, exemplifying the qualities we should all aspire to, and a steadying voice giving perspective to the momentous events that affected us during her reign. Her passing was quite literally the end of an era, and the deep sense of loss was compounded by knowledge that we will never see her like again, on the throne. I was very touched by the outpouring of grief and sympathy from our friends around the world. The funeral was sombre but fittingly magnificent, and everyone involved performed their role to perfection. But for me, probably the most emotional moment was when, after the State funeral, having moved on to Windsor, the cortège made its way through the grounds towards the castle and chapel. The Queen was a lifelong horse lover, and in later years she still often rode her black Fell pony Emma, who was 24 by this time. Emma was saddled up and stood on the roadside verge, strewn with flowers, and as the coffin passed by, she raised and lowered her foreleg. It was uncanny, and a moment that melted a million hearts.

Hi Ash, the guys in front and behind the coffin, pulling and holding it back, are all Royal Navy, the tradition dates back to Queen Victoria's funeral, one of the horses pulling the hearse bolted, so the horses were unlimbered, and it was pulled the rest of the way by Royal Navy sailors, and they've had the job ever since.

@jacquieclapperton9758 Ай бұрын

This was the first time women had been included in pulling and braking the guncarriage though they were part of the Guard escorting the coffin of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. Look for slighter frames and the bun under the cap. The six tall guys in the middle are actually carrying the metal shaft to which horses are harnessed so have to be pretty strong. Many were straight out of New Entry training so much respect all round.

Even if you don't do any reactions they are worth watching if only to see how much she was loved.

The gun carriage crews were all Royal Navy. There was a joint Guard of Honour for her as the procession came out of Westminster Hall (at the start) and made up of the Navy, Army and Air Force. Every branch of the military were represented by officers marching at the side of Her coffin and gun carriage. Remember the military were taking 'The Boss' to her funeral and wanted to bid farewell in grand style. I was holding it together until the Starboard Gun Carriage crew (at the back) closed up in sharp order ready for the march off. It was like 'OK we're ready lets go'. The Matelots did her Majesty proud that day.

I was at home when the news came in, and I was absolutely shocked. I knew she had been sick, but I expected her to recover. I was born in Europe (not in Great Britain) in the late 1960s, and lived there for all of my childhood and teenage years. Queen Elizabeth was the only British monarch I have ever known. For the next 50-plus years I followed the things she did, and even after moving to the USA I kept up with was was happening overseas. That she would not be here anymore someday was a thought that I really pushed away for as long as it was possible because I simply could not imagine Great Britain without her Queen. I watched the funeral, and Mist Covered Mountains is the most beautiful melody ever. I'm glad it was chosen for the procession. I still cry when I see scenes of the funeral. She was such a great lady all around, and I know she is missed so much.

All of the Armed Forces in front and behind the coffin are Royal Navy. There are 96 of them. It's a tradition started at Queen Victoria's Funeral after the horses got skittish. Sailors stood up to help. There was a code to be used to confirm Queen Elizabeth II had died. The code phrase was "London Bridge has fallen". The fact the Queen was 96 and there were 96 Sailors is coincidence. The Pallbearers were awarded the Silver Royal Victorian Medal.

@sandrabutler8483 Ай бұрын

Yes I do remember where I was at the time. I would suggest watching the whole service, something I've still not actually done yet, I'll let you know why in a message in my usual way. They had two services one at Westminster Abbey and St George's Chapel Windsor Castle, where the Queen is laid at rest with her husband, mother and father and sister Princess Margaret, the Queen lost both her sister and mother around six weeks apart back in 2002, and had to still go along with the plans for her Golden Jubilee just a couple of months later, Princess Margaret choose for a cremation, as she wanted to fit in with her parents and later sister and brother in law, very rarely if ever has a member of the family been cremated, I certainly can't remember any in recent history. There were two vigils one in Scotland, and the other at Westminster Hall which is where this procession started from. The journey from Scotland with her daughter following is very moving, and the flight back to London and into Buckingham Palace from RAF Northolt, the crowds of people lining the route on a rainy evening on both sides of the road for miles, the hearse lit up, part of Queen Elizabeth plans for the car carrying her and the larger windows. King Charles giving his first address Friday 9th September and meeting the crowds outside, and some 260,000 going to pay respects at Westminster Hall over 4 days, the queue was extremely long with at least 18 hour times in the queue, around 35 million in the UK watched the funeral and around 2 billion worldwide

Queen Elizabeth's coffin has been made following a Royal tradition that makes such distinguished burial caskets a heavy load for the members of the Armed Forces in the bearer parties who have carried Her Majesty with pride and respect on her final journey around the UK. Made 30 years ago out of English oak and lined with lead, the coffin is estimated to weigh at least 550lbs, or a quarter of a tonne, and anywhere up to 700lbs. So you can imagine the weight the guardsmen who carried the Queen in her coffin into Westminster Abbey had to bear.

Hello Ashley, Thanks for that. A couple of points about the Royal Navy Gun Carriage Party which might be of some interest. It's hard to spot (deliberately, for the sake of uniformity) but there were lady sailors also making up the gun carriage crew. Both men and women did a fine job and the next day Princess Anne travelled to their temporary base at Portsmouth to thank them personally- which I have no doubt would have been greatly appreciated. The Royal Navy has traditionally drawn the gun carriage at State Funerals since an incident at Windsor railway station at Queen Victoria's funeral. Before then, the Royal Horse Artillery (Army) had the privilege but the horses waiting to convey the gun carriage to Windsor Castle took fright and the harnesses were snapped. A Royal Navy Guard of Honour came to the rescue, got ropes (legend says it was the train's communication cord but I'm not convinced about that), and pulled the gun carriage from the station to the Castle- not an easy job. For that, the RN was granted the honour of carrying out that task for all future state funerals.

@madjock2878 Ай бұрын

Hi Tradition is Royal Navy sailors ( All with white caps ) Provide the pulling power and brake for the 1.5 ton gun carriage no RAF in that team but the RAF did provide a guard as part of the Tri service guard of honour. Red jackets are usual the Guards regiment and the Yeoman Warders were there too. Navy sailors pull the gun carriage due to an incident when horses used to the job and bolted. So a senior Naval officer volunteered his sailors and the priviallge and honour has fallen to these fine men since, As always they never let us down . RIP QEII

When Queen Victoria died in 1901, her cortège was pulled by horses. At Portsmouth, having crossed the Solent, the traces on one of horses broke and the coffin with the late Queen Victoria nearly went out of control. Sailors from the RN were lining the route and immediately grabbed the traces and hauled it along the route by sheer manpower. The tradition has continued for the burial of Kings and Queens of England since that time.

No, the pallbearers were all Navy. That's a tradition from 1901 when one of the traces broke on the horse team pulling Victoria's coffin, and the Navy escort took over. They were used to pulling gun carriages. If you look closely, the six blokes just ahead of the carriage are giants, probably from the competition team who compete with the Marines to carry a field gun and limber over an assault course.
