"Yes, Pipes. You." Fantastic line.

[@carl5192]

Pipes 😂

[@Hal09i]

@@carl5192 Yes, love the almost informal way she addresses him. I also enjoyed the portrayal of "Pipes" as a typical Scottsman. When the Queen asks him to play the tune, he realizes she means now, He goes, "what? now?" like he's talking to his brother or something. Totally forgets himself and who he is talking to.

[@adjoho1]

Pipes was a name given to the monarchs personal piper. Her first Pipes also served her father, George VI. When he retired, m'am chose her new Pipes, and that's what's depicted here, and what happened at Westminster of Her Majesties funeral.

[@adjoho1]

@@Hal09i I reckon those footmen are Scots too - they knew straight away what Pipes was about to do the minute he said it!

[@PantherU]

The actor playing 'Pipes' did a fantastic job of conveying the emotional punch he felt when being asked his own preference for the song. You can feel the immense honor he felt at her request. Well done.

[@1chish]

That the Queen rewarded Pipes' years of service with HIS choice of Lament shows how much she respected the man. And wasn't it the perfect lament at the end of the funeral? Well done Ma'am you did us proud. Duty done. Rest in peace.

[@rickardnyberg4899]

Pipe Major Paul Burns who played at The Queen’s funeral have only been The Sovereign’s Piper since 2021 so it was probably not his choice… But ofcourse earlier made choices was to be respected and honoured by anyone who happened to have the job when she died

[@1chish]

@@rickardnyberg4899 The passage shown in the video was clearly from a very earlier time than 2021 by which time the Queen was becoming very frail and poorly and arrangements had long been made. So I suspect Pipes in the video was Scott Methven, who served as the Queen's piper between 2015 and 2019

[@jayyeetmoto711]

Is being that my family hails from scottish heritage, I am sure you know my opinion of the british colonists... But queen elizabeth the second, She did something different with her reign entirely. I mean obviously I never knew the woman, But she had a kindness about her, She had a care for those under her monarchy symbolic, though it was at that point. She was unique in a type of job where you were not allowed to be and she did it in a flawless way while maintaining that royal stability. There will never be another like her, Not in my lifetime at least and Lord willing. I have quite a few years left to live. God bless you dear queen and god speed.

[@1chish]

@@jayyeetmoto711 Lovely comment mate and I totally share every word but just one thing? When did 'Britain' colonise Scotland?

[@marywenzel3199]

@@1chishStill pretty recent. I’m thinking they probably made her funeral arrangements during her golden jubilee year in 2012. I’m sure there was a sketch for operation London bridge as soon as she became queen at 25 and they kept Refining it through the years. Pipers lament maybe the last element as it’s the last piece of the service.

Corny as this may sound, I was(still am) profoundly affected by her passing even though I wasn't one of her subjects (Mexican lawyer here).

[@suefisher4172]

She’s got it exactly right. Dignified and determined.

[@anamorphosys85]

Lookwise, Imelda doesn't ressemble the late Queen Elizabeth so much but that's not the point. It is meant to evoke her, not impersonate her. And I think she did a marvellous job.

[@inigobantok1579]

The problem was the way the queen was written for these seasons. Nobody disputes Imelda Staunton s performance.

[@bwilliam8709]

Just with this scene alone

[@afsilvat]

How good of an actress do you have to be just to convey a wide array of emotions without uttering a single word nor sound, with only expressions on a single, uncut shot, that gets progressively closer to her face, crying on cue and letting us read everything on her face alone? Imelda Staunton is just fantastic. This is great acting.

[@Sam-kh2zh]

She's Imelda Staunton. It's what she does.

[@adjoho1]

@@ericabertagnoli5469 nah Pipes would have had the closest relationship with Her Majesty outside of family. Pipes would wake her every morning she woke in Balmoral. And before him, was also Pipes. The most recent Pipes, that we saw at her funeral, was recently new - he had "only" been in the position for a few years when she died.

It's lovely to hear but your name literally makes 0 sense. Crusaders were barbarian religious bigots. We should have never participated in it. They did not share the same values as the Scottish people.

[@lavitroladeldiablo]

Pipe´s acting is just brilliant. Humble, absolutly nervous but also caring and tender with his Queen. Masterpiece scene!

[@WillScarlet16]

As a performer myself I know how nerve-wracking it normally is to have to perform something at the drop of a hat, and to choose a song of the top of my head. I can just imagine how it would feel to do it for your monarch to choose a funeral song before the fact.

[@tubekxb]

Staunton saved a shaky final season. Just tremendous work.

[@inigobantok1579]

Once they got off the hook of Diana, part II managed to be an precise historical drama once again.

[@Solon1581]

I think it was a strategic choice to end the series where it did, because had it been been any closer to the present day, it would've had to deal with increasingly hot-button issues and controversies, many of which are still for lack of a better term, unresolved. This includes everything from Trump, to Prince Harry's adult escapes, to the royal family's possible entanglement with the Epstein case; none of which really puts the royal house in a positive light.

[@AlexandraAndStuff]

@@inigobantok1579 in my opinion, all this Diana melodrama was the weakest, telenovela-tier plot in all of The Crown. They could not make me care about Dodi and his father one single bit.
