Thanks for sharing this with me ladies. It was my dad’s funeral 6 weeks ago and whilst I was desperate to watch today I did worry it might trigger me. Sharing this with you all has been just what I needed. I’m sorry about your Dad. I’m glad this helped you today.

Sharing this with you all has been just what I needed. I am s sorry for your loss. It has been lovely to share the past 10 days with everyone here. For me, it has been nice to be able to share with others who feel as I do, being that I currently live outside the Commonwealth, and don't have many friends here who share that history with me, and understand what it means.

It’s really wonderful to see that crowds have lined every inch of the route to Windsor.

The wreaths at Windsor castle look amazing.
ETA I thought the lawns had flowerbeds for a minute, but it’s all the flowers laid out. What a great job they have done.

For anyone who doesn’t know the story behind the Navy pulling the coffin. At Queen Victoria’s funeral the horses pulling the carriage were misbehaving so they had to unhook them. The navy stepped in to continue pulling the coffin and since then it became tradition. I watched for an embarrassing amount of time before I realized that horses were not pulling the carriage- I even noted the ropes behind the carriage and still did not notice. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️

I've missed the bit between London and Windsor so just tuning in again.
Huge crowd lining the Long Walk. One horse seems a bit flighty, it's quite tight for them.

I don’t think I expected this. I feel it’s more moving than in London. The scenes on the Long walk are stunning!

Are you talking about one of the white ones up front? I just texted my dd to say "one of those white horses up front is acting up a bit". lol At least he's not pulling the casket!

It’s good to see Tall Paul made it to Windsor but it seems he isn’t the tallest!

There was a horse among the big group of riders with gold helmets and breastplates who dashed to the right as we view the tv and the rider had to rein him in and back into position. I'm sure the rider was using a bit of Anglo Saxon vocab under his breath! The group behind the white horses.

That's why I was nervous watching the ones who were pulling the Queen's casket. I assumed that they had some sort of quick release option for the lines that were attached from the horses to the gun carriage, just in case of horse problems.

The Long Walk is aptly named!
I think I’ll be marching in my sleep tonight!

The marchers must be exhausted. It’s no mean feat doing all they are doing.

I know they won't, but those horses deserve a gallop around Windsor Great Park.
