Thank you. You are a nice decent well mannered young man. You will never ever see the likes of this again. It is history in the making for 1000 years this is how we honour our kings and Queens. We British know how to put on pomp and pageantry. This is literally the greatest show on earth. I am a loyal subject from NORTHERN IRELAND.
The bearer party were on duty in Iraq when they were recalled to serve their Queen and Commander in Chief one last day. In all throughout the day and evening they carried her 10 times. 😢🙏🏻👑
vivienne birchall I imagine for them it was a weight made light by their loyalty and devotion to duty honouring their Queen and Commander in Chief for hers.
FYI .. The Gun carriage weighed in at 2.5 Tonnes, the Queens casket is solid oak and inside is a sealed lead coffin altogether weighing in around 700 pounds. And was pulled by 140 Royal Naval Sailors. R.I.P Queen Elizabeth II. 😢
@@foreignreacts Yes this is why they use 8 bearers instead of the usual 6. Purely the weight. The lead was used for the last few undred years as a means of protecting and preserving the bodies even before the modern techniques.
The coverage of our sad day has been covered very sympathetically by the main American media outlets and by individuals showing true respect for Queen Elizabeth. This shows their is a strong bond between our countries. God bless the USA 🇺🇸 and the UK 🇬🇧
I liked the silent procession from Holyrood to St Giles Cathedral. I felt the emotion in the silent crowds. The whole thing was beautifully done. A fitting tribute to a great Queen .
I am in England I was watching this on television with my son. It was very emotional I was blown away. Watching Prince Gearge and Princess Charlotte joining their parents in the procession behind the coffin of the Great grandmother really choked me up.
I loved your respect and reverence toward HM The Queen….. I am an Australian but I am proud she is still monarch of my country. Well done and thank you!
From there she was escorted to Windsor Castle her finale resting place, I think it would do interest you to watch the BBC coverage of this part of the funeral as it explains what and why the crown and septre are taken from her coffin and placed on the alter, and watch till the end as the lone Piper plays one last time for her.very moving, I thank you for you interest and respect for our Queen
During Queen Victoria's funeral the horses drawing the gun carriage spooked. Sailors unhitched the horses from the gun carriage and rigged harnesses and drew the gun carriage. Since then the Royal Navy has had the honour of drawing the Monarchs gun carriages.
The Queen was above politics and loved people of all nations. She had a role and devoted her whole life to it. Prime Ministers and Presidents come and go, but she met them for decades. She had manners and genuinely cared, but was a mother & grandmother and very human. Think she was strict with following duty as she knew how privileged she was at the same time as restricting it was. Personally, I cannot think of anyone in the world who was admired as much. Thank you for your respectful reaction.
Your comment helps explain why the Queen was held in such high regard. With this position being of birth, the chance of having this position, to be the head of the military, the church, the empire now changed to territories and commonwealth all because of your birth. And yet she had no power and owned so little considering and was still a leader who took her role seriously and with graciousness. And then she topped it off by being like our own mother and grandmother with a bit of fun and finery. We could all use her example of service and benevolent behaviour,
@@janettedavis6627 Not true. We don’t have nothing to do with the iris in the south. Different country. Different jurisdiction and not part of Commonwealth..
The flowers were chosen by King Charles III and had their own symbolism: "The wreath contains foliage of Rosemary, English Oak and Myrtle (cut from a plant grown from Myrtle in The Queen's wedding bouquet) and flowers, in shades of gold, pink and deep burgundy, with touches of white, cut from the gardens of Royal Residences."
I am so thankful for the way you just let it play and kept silent giving her the utmost respect instead of repeatedly pausing and talking rubbish. Thank you 💔 🇬🇧 💔
The “big puffy thing” is called a bearskin! The flag draped over the coffin is The Royal Standard, the monarchs own flag. It is flown over wherever the monarch is in residence but never at half mast ( as there is always a monarch. The crown orb & sceptre are symbols of her rule…given to her at her coronation, removed & given back just prior to her committal. The flowers were highly symbolic & included a sprig of myrtle from a shrub grown from a sprig in her wedding bouquet. The clip didn’t show the public…that mainly came after the funeral service…they lined the route 10 deep for over 20 miles. She was a most loved Queen.
@@foreignreacts This has an excellent commentary but it is a little bit long but you can always move along the video footage as you wish. ... ruclips.net/video/Hqp0JDkZhk0/видео.html
What a lovely young respectful man you are , whatever race , creed or religion anyone comes from you can always see a lovely person as you see there soul through there eyes and this man has it in abundance , god bless you ❤ from uk xxx.
Anthony Charnock Agree and I think a certain grandchild could learn some lessons from watching grandma's funeral. The deference shown by so very many worldwide, because she was NOT attention seeking, rude and self important despite being the monarch.
Thank you for doing this reaction with utmost respect, thank you for removing your hat it was a very thoughtful think to do. Our military and everybody else involved made the day perfect , start to finish perfect.
The Queen was much loved, but Royalty is never about the individual - the institution of Monarchy is the living embodiment of over a thousand years of our history.
Although she was 96 the death of Her Majesty was a great shock to us all. A great lady who served our country for more than 70 years, we will not see her like again. Thank you for your respect.
I must have watched 4 Americans react to this today, each time I still cry watching those young men carrying her coffin and those young sailors with hands clasped together pulling the gun carriage.
I never forgot when I watch the TV about Queen Elizabeth funeral 😔 she was important and extraordinary leader in UK and world 🌎 Rest well ma'am you deserve it 👏
Thanks for showing respect to our Queen. The lead lined oak coffin weighed around 300 kg/660 lbs, handled with immense dignity and pride of some very strong military
The 10 men who served as pallbearers were from the Queen's 1st Battalion Grenadier Guard. It was a unit she commanded as a colonel from 1952 (when she was a princess) until 1975 when her husband Prince Philip took command.
That building was Westminster Abbey. It wasn't her final resting place. From there she was taken to Windsor castle and after an other more private ceremony she was lowered down to the same place with her husband. The King George VI Memorial Chapel is part of St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. The chapel was commissioned by Queen Elizabeth II in 1962 as a burial place for her father, King George VI. It holds the final resting places of King George VI, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and the ashes of Princess Margaret.
@@foreignreacts Second service video here: ruclips.net/video/nzrK11q_bcU/видео.html That's the entire day actually and I recommend watching the two services in full. It's too long for a reaction but worth it in your own time. There are presenters explaining things as they happen. Very educational. And from what I understand the services were arranged by the Queen herself so the content is like her final message to her people. She was head of that entire church system for her whole reign and as a Christian I can confirm the accuracy of everything that they said in the service.
The grenadier who removed his bearskin hat was part of the bearer party of 8. They carried the queens coffin. The picture shows just him removing but the others were in front of him. They will be decorated for their part. The same 8 grenadiers were used for the whole funeral
Some of them burial party, if not all 8 of them lads were recalled from Afghanistan to take part. They are from the Queen's company 1st battalion grenadier guards.
They must be very strong men. Coffin, with lead internal surface is itself about 600 lb. Plus body, heavy drapery, it is probably 800 lb. That is 100 lb per man. Probably not too much to carry on shoulder but lift and carry sideway on outstretch hands visibly effortlessly, that is something.
@@foreignreacts Here is the last part of it in Windsor castle, where they had the last ceremony and lower the coffin. The lonely bagpiper was her personal "wake up clock". He played for her every morning at 9 am. outside her window when she visit her beloved Balmoral castle in Scotland ( She was born there). That is also why they played bagpipes in this procession. ruclips.net/video/xT3SKa69ij8/видео.html
It's not we see her every day in the UK but we all know she was there as our Queen she didn't rule as a dictator or a state official, we loved her just for being our beautiful Queen we miss her being there ....... but we will love our king and queen consort as the late Queen wished us to do ......thank you for you're respect and love shown to our late Queen x
That coffin is over 700 pounds in weight,because it's lead lined.Those Soldiers are carrying nearly 200 pound on their shoulders without looking like they're straining and keeping absolutely straight.
Thank you for showing this. Although it made me cry again. Our Queen was commander in chief of all of our armed forces. They swear allegiance to our sovereign, not our government. She will be a hard act to follow. Thank you ma'am for everything.
I’m not going to lie, I woke up early in the morning to watch this live and at 17:35 goosebump hit me as the organ grew and the bell rang. Tears rolled down my face when the commentator began talking about how Elizabeth II was married and crowed in the Abbey, now being buried.
Your reaction, or lack of it shows respect, thank you. My family and me made our way to Windsor for Her Majesty's final journey to the place she called home.
Actually, the first part was the coffin being taken from Westminster Hall, where it had lain in state for 4 days, to Westminster Abbey for the funeral service. Interesting fact : one of the pall-bearers comes from a village in Fiji which is only accessible by sea. And no, that wasn't it, the major part as far as the public was concerned was taking the coffin in procession to Marble Arch where it was transferred to the state hearse for the journey to Windsor Castle.
Just a heads up. The people walking beside the coffin in the White Plumes were the Queens bodygaurd. Behind them in Red were the Yeomanry of the Queen, also affectionately known as Beefeaters who guard the Tower of London. Behind them were the Queens Archers.
Thank you, My Dad was at Arnhem "a bridge too far" and my mum was a nurse during WW2..The Queen during the war was an inspiration to that generation and to us all and thereafter
WEST-MINSTER - the Minster in the West (of original London). At 4.41 you will see a large soldier in his Redcoat and Bearskin looking at his watch. He is from Wellington Barracks near Buckingham Palace and is in charge of organising all the ceremonial events involving the Household Division (the Redcoats and the Cavalry), so he'd organise you :) Talking about discipline - the French Generals ordered that their men fire and kill the British Sergeants (not the officers) because they were the guys who knew what they were doing :) One of the Officers gave the wrong order about turning with the coffin. He was ignored till he got it right. It wasn't the BBC headquarters, but merely for that outside broadcast. That BIG PUFFY THING!!!!!!!!!! Don't EVER say that if you ever visit England (or Canada for that matter - the Guards at Ottawah). Those are Bearskins - the actual bear skins are provided by Canada when they have a cull. Some of those helmets are over 100 years old! They were originally worn by French troops at Waterloo. The victorious British took them and have worn them as a trophy ever since. That was actually a compliment. The Big Puffy Thing was actually removed by that particular soldier because he was a pall bearer. On other recordings you can see two hat bearers collecting these helmets, the two officers hold their own. You couldn't carry the coffin wearing one of those. Hope this helps. You might be able to Google some paintings of The British Guards in Battle to see them in action - those painted by Lady Butler are very inspiring. They depict a century after the Redcoats you had visit:)
She was beloved for many reasons. She was not born to sit on the throne. Her Uncle abdicated in order to marry he twice divorced clover. As the Head is of the Church of England, he could not marry her. That, has of course changed as King Charles 111 is divorced. Her father was not at all prepared to become king, he was quite shy. She was well loved because of her actions during WW11, as she became an ambulance driver and mechanic, her family opting to remain in London, when so many sent their children to the country side. She was well loved for taking on the role of Queen at an incredibly young age. She promised to serve her people her whole life, be that short or long, and she kept that promise. She served during decades of fast paced change and did her level best to stay current. She made very few “mistakes”. Her misstep with her reaction to Princess Diana’s death, one she made because she saw being there for her grandsons was her most important role. She knew how to laugh, and in these later years that was a bit more obvious. I think she was also an incredibly kind person. When I saw the imagine of her sitting all alone, among all those pews, with her COVID-19 mask , at the Dukes funeral, I knew she would not stay here very long. And the big head covering came off as a sign of respect
I salute you young sir for showing respect for our Queen.
Most definitely
Rule Britannia!
Well said. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 💕

He is from Wellington Barracks near Buckingham Palace and is in charge of organising all the ceremonial events involving the Household Division (the Redcoats and the Cavalry), so he'd organise you :)

It wasn't the BBC headquarters, but merely for that outside broadcast.
That BIG PUFFY THING!!!!!!!!!! Don't EVER say that if you ever visit England (or Canada for that matter - the Guards at Ottawah). Those are Bearskins - the actual bear skins are provided by Canada when they have a cull. Some of those helmets are over 100 years old! They were originally worn by French troops at Waterloo. The victorious British took them and have worn them as a trophy ever since. That was actually a compliment.
The Big Puffy Thing was actually removed by that particular soldier because he was a pall bearer. On other recordings you can see two hat bearers collecting these helmets, the two officers hold their own. You couldn't carry the coffin wearing one of those.
Hope this helps. You might be able to Google some paintings of The British Guards in Battle to see them in action - those painted by Lady Butler are very inspiring. They depict a century after the Redcoats you had visit:)
Thankyou for sharing our grief x
they took off their 'bearskins' hats so they could carry the coffin
Our beloved and irreplaceable Queen💔
He took off his headdress because he is part of the bearer party and taken out off respect for the Queen.
The discipline teaches the military to act under pressure .
She was beloved for many reasons. She was not born to sit on the throne. Her Uncle abdicated in order to marry he twice divorced clover. As the Head is of the Church of England, he could not marry her. That, has of course changed as King Charles 111 is divorced. Her father was not at all prepared to become king, he was quite shy.
She was well loved because of her actions during WW11, as she became an ambulance driver and mechanic, her family opting to remain in London, when so many sent their children to the country side.
She was well loved for taking on the role of Queen at an incredibly young age. She promised to serve her people her whole life, be that short or long, and she kept that promise.
She served during decades of fast paced change and did her level best to stay current. She made very few “mistakes”. Her misstep with her reaction to Princess Diana’s death, one she made because she saw being there for her grandsons was her most important role.
She knew how to laugh, and in these later years that was a bit more obvious. I think she was also an incredibly kind person.
