Oh boy, I was OK until I saw this.

Same here - bless her little heart.

Me too! Since 4 CST, I’m in the US, by myself, thank God my husband went to work or he would be insane from this coverage. I’ve been texting a great friend who’s into this unfortunately she worked night shift. i guess, it’s our personal holiday. In Honor to Her Majesty the Queen! Can’t find Dubonnet anywhere!

Man, I'm bleary-eyed too. 5am eastern time, but this is coming after two previous nights of bad sleep and stress dreams (Sunday school year started yesterday, I have the big pre-school class, so I always revert to old-style first-day-of-school-nightmares on those nights. I've had pressure in my head for over a day now. Hubby is working from home, thankfully, but we just dealt with plumber in and out for repair work that was scheduled before QEII even died. My head. Will hang in the rest of the day though.
(eta: Horrifyingly, the one advantage I feel is that I think I'm too tired to cry? Is that possible? I mean, it's not like I didn't do plenty of it this past week, but my eyes and my head just feel like .... "Buh" (puff of exhalation).)

I didn't actually think I'd spend the entire day on this... But here I am and I doubt I can walk anymore. My husband is having constant work calls in the next room.

Are the foreign royals still here or have they gone home?

Can someone tell me again what the wreath was for on the "pike" or "mast" that was in front of the procession? Particularly visible on way up to Windsor? I know they said it on Sky and I couldn't catch it.

The final piper -I’m in absolute bits - she was woken every morning by her piper and now she has she shared even that - the last echoing sound we hear as he walks slowly away

CNN coverage has sub titles that identifies all the psalms, music, and who is speaking. And yes CNN commentary has been atrocious and I’ve been watching BBC most of this week but for the service the identifying sub titles were helpful

the had an American woman (unknown to me) the other day explaining about the monarchy.....not saying that anyone can't learn this stuff but she wasn't impressive so why not a Brit?

 

[pomeline]

Oh... Charles's teary eyes when they sang the anthem... I'm crying again...

It was her pony Emma that did me in View attachment 5613528

Me too! It’s like feeling of being left behind!

This is going to take some getting used to. (I am *completely* pulling for Charles III, just saying it's going to take some serious getting used to.)

I'm so glad it all went off without a hitch. Kudos to the thousands who made it happen.

I was supposed to wash my hair... I couldn't tear myself out of watching this. Now what are we supposed to do, this has been going on for ten days, what are we going to watch non-stop now?

Aww, Bea looks so sad walking with her husband and Fergie. Fergie looks nice.
