They're replaying it literally right now.
They're interviewing "Paula Lloyd-Evans" ... if that helps you search for it. Northern Wales.
And "Cordeil Wilson"

Wow - whoever is planning this thought of literally everything. Hats off to them - though I selfishly wish they wouldn’t make me cry so much!Here is info on the horses - they are getting expert training in how to handle the flowers that get thrown at them.
'Crying' soldiers throw flowers at horses to prepare them for Queen's procession

They've lost two beloved grandparents in a little over a year. My guess is that they'll both become valuable members of RF. How could they not be with Sophie as their mother.
The Westminster service was so touching. I'm now watching the live stream of Westminster and I'm a teary mess again.
It was, the choir SO beautiful.
Rotation of the guards at Westminster
Oh my, one of the officers just toppled over! Perhaps a police officer? I don't know what happened after because the station stopped the coverage. I hope he's okay!!
Really interesting to watch but that really cuts down on the available time for the public viewing since they have to halt the public moving through in order to provide a clear lane for the changing of the guards.
Thank you. I so hope he was not harmed---it looked like a hard fall.

Another random thought ... it's amazing the way age/time changes one's natural lens. The last *really* big funeral like this that I watched, would have been Diana's. At the time, I was 28, only 2.5 years out of my school years, just barely engaged ... an adult, but "mentally" just barely so. Having been at that age, Diana's funeral registered more as "big, pageantry, huge event," things like that. By the time you reach your fifties, the concepts of death, history, etc, are much more real, and in multiple ways. This still feels big and monumental, but much deeper, and much more "catastrophic" (if that's not too much hyperbole). And I think the change is in part just from my own maturation. (Watching my second reply of today's procession, and brain is just thinking.)
From what I’ve seen and heard, the organizers are sensitive to these issues.
FYI - fake news alert:
On September 8 2022, a group of Irish dancers performing to the Queen song, “Another One Bites the Dust” was hugely popular on Twitter and other social media platforms in the wake of the announcement of Queen Elizabeth II’s death. The clip is real, but it was filmed in January 2022, not as a reaction to the events of September 2022.
Irish Dancers at Buckingham Palace (to the Tune Of ‘Another One...
"Irish Twitter" was a popular topic on the occasion of Queen Elizabeth II's death, and a video of Irish dancers outside Buckingham Palace went viral.

ETA: every.single.thing must be checked and rechecked. I swear.
Yes, I’m late to this story - Newsweek, on Sept. 9, posted an article about it.

Another probably stupid question before I turn in --- from the procession to Westminster Hall.
I know absolutely nothing about horses, so I want to ask why some of the horses suddenly jerk their heads up. This is the horses marching in front of the gun carriage. (Some horses must be pulling it; but I am talking about horses that clearly have riders atop them.) When the camera view is from the front, you see these horses intermittently, and sometimes one after the other, flick their head up really high. I mean a big upward throw of the head. These horses are rigidly trained, I know that -- even outside of a procession like this, these military horses must have a life of being thoroughly trained, so I'm assuming they're not just being unruly or difficult. And I also know the riders aren't just being "mean" to them. So are the riders instructing the horses to do that? Is it a discipline thing? A steering thing? A timing thing? I'm genuinely curious.

It's a good question. I noticed it too while watching it this morning, and I just happened to see it again in CNN's recap of the event. It appeared one horse might get unruly, and then one next to it seemed to follow suit.I know nothing about riding, but it looked to me like the rider pulled back on the reigns to keep control of the horse. The camera then cut away and I hoped nothing would go wrong.
