Bawled my eyes out when the casket passed her pony Emma. The horse looked like it curtsied Yes. She really did

Round of applause for those bearers. Yes, up all those stairs! I'm glad they had someone in the back just in case, like they did taking the casket on and off the airplane.

I’ve lost it now! THe horse and the pups. Is this a different crowd of people at St. George's or is it a more culled list from the ones attending Westminster Abbey?

The music in St. George's truly gives me goosebumps.
Is that the Court Jewler who is adjusting the crown?

I believe that mostly they are different. At Westminster Abbey it was a State Funeral. This is more private and personal. No Heads of State. It consists of the staff who worked for her amongst others.

Charles looks shattered. I do hope George and Charlotte don’t have to go to school tomorrow!

awww... My dd just texted me a photo of Charlotte crying. Dd said it was at the point that they transferred the coffin to the hearse, I'm assuming at the point where they were getting ready to drive to Windsor. Poor kids. I mean, I think it's good for children to attend funerals if possible... But I guess my "poor kids" comment is because they're so much in the public eye while they're grieving their great-grandmother. They're doing such a good job.

There will be a private service later where Queen Elizabeth will be laid to rest with Prince Philip, who has remain in the Royal Vault until the Queen joined him. They will both be placed in The George VI memorial chapel, where the Queen’s parents are both buried and where Princess Margaret’s ashes are.

I just spotted Diana’s brother Earl Spencer what's the general attitude towards Earl and the Royals. They've been playing the infamous Diana eulogy and I know he was angry but has there ever been any continued bad blood between them? and as a side, his daughter is one of the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. She's breathtaking. That's all her, right? No plastic surgery?

I never hear him mentioned these days so I’m not really sure how they feelings are these days. At the time there was no shortage of outrage due to his hypocrisy over the way he’d treated Diana himself.

I don't follow him too closely so IDK about any other daughters other than the famous one Kitty who just got married and freaking had the most beautiful gowns ever.

I think from my experience we moved on years ago, it’s never mentioned. We also don’t hear much about the Earl’s daughters, but I do remember them at William and Catherine’s wedding and thinking how stunning they were.

I think it was probably particularly important for them to attend to hep they understand their lineage, the enormity of it and their potential future roles.

What was the symbolism behind the breaking of that rod after King Charles had placed her regiment flag on her coffin?? I'm sure our newscasters must have said, but I missed if it they did.

From the BBC At the same time, the Lord Chamberlain, former MI5 chief Baron Parker, "broke" his wand of office and placed it on the coffin. The snapping of the white staff signals the end of his service to the sovereign as her most senior official in the Royal Household.

This is how The Guardian explained that part: It is another part of the official protocol surrounding the death of a monarch in the UK.
