We do pageantry well don’t we? 11:13 - Sep 19 with 6307 viewsSwansea_Blue

We don’t do it quickly, but we’re very thorough.

The other thing we do well is broadcasting - that transfer of the coffin to Westminster Abbey was very powerful and respectfully recorded by the Beeb.

Whatever your views on the monarchy etc I doubt anyone could do these occasions better. The backdrops help. The massed pipers etc were awe inspiring.

Agreed. Can't help but take a bit of pride in this.

It is all very splendid. Sad I got up later than intended and missed the bagpipes. Live coverage here on the main networks. Doesn’t seem quite right without the hushed tones of a Dimbleby

They’ll just pump it straight into the river. Anyone downstream of London may be able to grab themselves some royal floaters as a souvenir!

As a pure spectacle, the pomp is incredible imo. Forgetting all the wider arguments around the royals, the scale, coordination, colours, sounds all make something pretty special.

I’m a bit worried about Big Ben though. I thought it was on its last legs and they were trying to avoid using it. Each time I heard the bong, I’m wondering if it could be it’s last.

I’m only dipping in and out - kudos to anyone who’s the patience to watch the whole thing.

Plenty of pomp but have to say discipline looks lacking compared to previous similar events.

Plenty of shoddy lines and also slouching amongst the uniformed participants.

What we don't do well is running our country at the moment; and the Beeb is... on 13:16 - Sep 19 with 2711 viewsunstableblue

... about to be dismantled... leaving a vacuum for yes, you've guessed it Talk TV, GB News, to James Whale and the Julia Hartley Brewer's of this world

We're going to wake up as a nation from this period of pagenatry and reflection.. and realise just what a fricking mess this government is, and the state of our country and economy

We need a massive reset and steering of our values.. we need completely new leadership and a new vision as a country. Not sure we can do this whilst offshore owned media steer public opinion so strongly.

An £80m refurbishment of Big Ben & the rest of the clock tower was only completed this year, so let's hope not.

Yes, it's impressive. It feels like an anachronism though, hard to see that amount of ceremony when Charles goes in a couple of decades time.

Obviously the coronation will be similarly crafted.

Charles's coronation is likely to be next summer. I hope they announce it soon so that I can arrange to be overseas.

Could have had a doubleheader and done it straight after the funeral while they’ve got the horses and fancy cars out, and everyone’s in uniform.

I said the same to the missus, just drag the throne out, take the orb, sceptre and crown off the box and job jobbed.

I'm just relieved it all went off without some horrendous security 'incident'.

The music, as always on these state occasions, was particularly moving - including the muffled Big Ben, and the glorious bells of Westminster Abbey in their peals afterwards.

She was a good 'un; we'll not see her like again.

The Met fished a bloke out of the Thames by Westminster bridge a few days ago who they believed was doing a recce for Extinction rebellion, he claimed he was training for an open water swim except no one swims in that part of the Thames.
