  1. My condolences to the millions of British πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ and Commonwealth people who have witnessed an *incredible life* of the longest-serving British Monarch.
    – In recent years, she has been a victim of the greatest lie of Chinese regime, the promise to keep her Hong Kong unchanged for 50 years..

  2. World leaders pay respect to beloved Queen. The grandest funeral in world History. We loved British people. 😒β™₯️

  3. It feels like the whole city of London has stopped due to the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. This is truly a sad, but historical moment for the world to witness 😒

  4. So glad to see Clarissa covering a story where we aren’t worried about her every second. She deserved the break 😊
    Also, to quote King Charles III in his first speech about his beloved mummy, β€œMay β€˜flights of angels carry thee home’” your majesty.
    God bless the Queen & keep her in his glory.
    God save the King.

  5. We may have a lot of problems in this country but we can still put on a damn good funeral. ( The pall bearers were on active service in Iraq when the Queen died).

  6. I think the pall bearers deserve special recognition for their flawless performance. I held my breath as I watched these young men dutifully carrying the Queen’s lead lined oak coffin. They should all receive a special commendation for their final service to Her Majesty. They were perfect.

    1. @Pamela Fulks give it a break ffs… I’m sure the majority of the world were thinking the same thing… There always have to be one rotten apple…

    2. @Pamela Fulks several of us who have mentioned how wonderful the bagpipes were have been trolled you’d think such maggots had better things to do – oh well .

    3. @Charlie Boffin Bagpipes. Most of the time I can take um or leave them. But that piper at the end was just magic. It felt like the Queen was being guided across the river into the afterlife.
      I am not a Royal Family fan. I am an American, but for just a very few minutes I felt it. For just a few minutes I understood why so many were so sad.

  7. I’m astounded by how significant every role of the armed forces play a role in the funeral overall. This was a magical but yet somber procession.

  8. The greatness of the UK is on full display for the world to see. The Respect being displayed by the British public is exemplary. The monarchy is the last bastion of tradition, honor, dignity, and selfless service that makes the UK truly special from the rest of the world. I could only hope US Presidents could conduct themselves with this kind of dignity.

    1. @A M Did you see where we put Sleepy Joe 🀣 13 row. How can you say that nobody respects him or America right now πŸ˜„

  9. It was nice to see that even though there may be tension within the family that they all came together in unison to honor the Queen.

  10. I’m not a huge fan of the royals but this part absolutely shreaded me to pieces watching it here in England …. Had tears streaming down my face and body had chills bottom to top ! …. Incredible Scottish pipes with those 4/4 drums …. Spiritual !

  11. Choked with pride how the nation sent off Her Majesty. What an amazing day and the respect shown will never be matched….70 yrs πŸ‘ΈRIP

  12. This for me, was the most emotional part of the past 10days. The Royal Navy leading, actually pulling our Queen, to the sound of bagpipes & drummers. Beautiful.

    1. The tradition of Navy sailors pulling the gun carriage began at the funeral of Queen Victoria. The carriage carrying the coffin was meant to be pulled by horses, however, they reared up and threatened to topple the coffin. Instead of taking the risk, it was decided that the Navy sailors would pull the gun carriage instead. This tradition has carried on over the years and many royal funerals, including Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral today.

    β€œWe should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure, better days will return: we will be with our friends again; we will be with our families again; we will meet again. But for now, I send my thanks and warmest good wishes to you all.” 
    -Queen Elizabeth ll

  14. Huge sense of pride seeing those Mounties leading the procession β€οΈπŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦πŸ˜’πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

  15. The sights and sounds of the Pipes and Drums of the Massed Bands of the Scottish and Irish Regiments really stirred my soul and brought a tear to my eyes . The Armed forces of the U.K. and the Commonwealth did her Majesty and all of us proud – we salute you β€οΈπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

  16. RIP to the Queen of Canada. She was our Queen for almost half of our nation’s 153 year old history. And we are immensely proud to have her as our sovereign and head of state. Long lived the Queen. Dieu protΓ¨ge le Roi! Great to see our Mounties leading the procession.
