yeah, especially when you find out the tune he played is called "Sleep, Dearie, sleep" and that he was the Queen's personal piper, he played the pipes outside her window each morning to wake her. I was in bits.
I am an American veteran who has been stationed/lived in England since 1988. Queen Elizabeth II was a great friend of the U.S. On the day of Queen Elizabeth's funeral my family and I went to Windsor to pay our respects. I laid a wreath outside Windsor Castle on behalf of my American Legion post in London. The passing of the funeral procession at Windsor is a moment I will never forget.

She was the most influential woman in a world dominated by men. God bless her.
Bless you sir for your kind comment and service , and your tribute to our Queen, it really was a momentous occasion, America and England will always be brothers in arms 💪🏼🇬🇧🇺🇸
Thank you for your very kind comment and I am English, so perhaps slightly biased, but I cannot remember such worldwide respect shown at the death of any other head of state. Our late Queen was part of that extraordinary WW2 generation and is sorely missed.
Good grief I’m in floods of tears! Lindsay you should see the full funeral it was so sad, but amazing too, the beautiful music, the soldiers, the bearers were immense, but the single pipes walking away at the end was my undoing! We do ceremonies like this so well in the UK 🇬🇧
She was my Queen for the first 67 years of my life, and I am proud to have served in her Royal Air Force for 43 of them. This is still a hard watch two years on from her death.
Me father served the Queens father during the war. Then, he enlisted for 22 years in the army 2 while the King was alive and then under the rule of Queen Elizabeth 11. He was a proud Scots man who served his sovereign with pride. Cancer took him early but he still had the Last Post on the Bagpipes.
@@pumbarHenry V bankrupted the country with his war with France, Alfred was only King of Wessex, Edward I did some great things, consolidations of the Civil Law etc, but the Welsh and Scots might not have the same opinion of him as the English. Remember she was Queen of the UNITED Kingdom, not just England.
It must have been heart-breaking for the piper. He was the Queen's piper who played outside her window each morning to awaken her. This last time he piped her to eternal rest.
This is what makes us Brits so proud. The Royals are so intertwined with our armed forces. This goes back hundreds of yrs. We are one! We are traditional and honoured to have our royalty. They really are part of our culture. So important. Love you guys for your appreciation.
I actually recorded All Of IT and it still takes up a huge amount of space on my hard drive. 😳 Will probably never have time to watch it all again, until I retire.
I didn't see any of it because someone I love very much was dying at the same time as the funeral. One day I will see it but it brings back awful memories at the moment.
I understand that the sand on the road was to prevent the gun carriage from sliding when making a turn, not necessarily for the horses, after all the horses were fine on all the other road surfaces. I speak as someone who was part of Winston Churchills funeral.
I am 61 and a man and I cried during the funeral (even watching this again brings tears to my eyes) - she was the heart of the nation for all of our lives, the one thing that never changed, and when she died everyone knew something special had gone out of our lives.
Just a few seconds into the playing of this and i already have tears. My wife and I spent 14 hours waiting to pay our respects to our Queen, I will never forget that day until I die. The cortege along with the Pipers playing this piece of music is unforgettable. The greatest Queen in our history.
I felt grief at her passing, not because she was our Queen but because she genuinely cared about everybody in the UK and Commonwealth. She was everybody's Grandmother. Up to this point, obviously I could not remember a time without her. She was unique.
@@Suprahampton according to a quick google search "An 18-year-old soldier has been found dead at an Army barracks in London. Trooper Jack Burnell-Williams, from Bridgend, died on Wednesday after being found unresponsive at Hyde Park Barracks just before 16:00 BST. According to reports, he was involved in the late Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral arrangements. An Army spokesman said: "Our thoughts are with the soldier's family and friends at this difficult time and we ask that their privacy is respected." Family and friends are set to gather in his memory at Bryntirion Football Club in Bridgend on Saturday afternoon. His death is not being treated as suspicious. The case has been referred to the coroner, a Met Police spokesman said." Extremely sad at such a young age Additional Note : He was found dead 2 days after the Queens Funeral
@@garyedwards2533Jack Burnell-Williams passed away on September 28th. On the day of the funeral, a tribute was paid with the release of blue balloons at Bryntirion Football Club in Bridgend, Wales.
Any case of a sudden death, especially if there are no known medical reason, will always be passed on to the local coroner, simply because the authority's want to know why, just in case it may be from a contagious disease.
Well said Canada, from another Commonwealth country, way down here in Australia. She walked past me when I was a very young Navy technical trade apprentice selected for a 100 person guard of honour when the Queen come to open the naval memorial in the federal capital (Canberra) 1986. I maintained a thousand yard stare when she passed by so only got the briefest glance even though she was 2 feet away. Yes, she gave her whole life to "The Firm".
The Queen wasn't just the most famous person on planet. She was a much loved grandmother to the nation and the wider commonwealth. She. Provided love, continuity, comfort and support to the entire nation.
Just 2 weeks after carrying the queens coffin at the funeral one of those young Welsh solders in red jackets died suddenly ,the family proud he helped lay our late beloved Queen to rest and then the sadness their beloved died ..
@@susanlee5508 yes the history of it all was explained as it went along. The family marching behind her coffin was bearly acknowledged here.The little details like the pony and her corgis waiting at Windsor to say goodbye. The pipers lament right at the end 💔
My mum was found collapsed on the same day the Queen died. Mum passed away 5 days later. I managed to watch the whole funeral. Not least because I knew my mum would have watched all the funeral and it would have been something we talked about. I cried along with Lindsay seeing the clips.
@@janewilson8676 That's a difficult combination. We have 3 birthdays of close family in September, but near the end of the month. Sorry about your mother in law.
Interesting fact. She died in Scotland. Every Scottish veteran volunteered to escort her from Scotland to London with ‘the boss’. She was that loved. Thank you for the video.
It still hurts now watching this. For us British you have to understand...Queen Elizabeth was the one constant in our lives, she was always there for us. When she died it was like losing a member of the family. She was an amazing woman, a WW2 veteran, and she worked tirelessly for the UK and the Commonwealth of Nations. I doubt we'll ever live to see another Monarch who would approach her greatness. And that's what I like to call her...Elizabeth the Great.
same here, Im 63 she was the only monarch I had known. I just don't feel the same about King Charles, and having Camilla as Queen sticks in my throat a little.
We were on a 3000 mile bus tour in US when the announcement was made. It was very touching that everywhere we all went and on hearing our accent, so many Americans went out of their way to approach us to give their heartfelt condolences.
Thank you for understanding our love for Queen Elizabeth . All those soldiers , sailors and airmen felt this was an honour unparalleled , I know one of the beefeaters and he was on duty that day , he felt it to be both the finest and worst day of his life, he would have laid down his life for his queen and most of her subjects feel the the loss most deeply. St George’s chapel at Windsor is where she now rests , with her parents and Prince Philip and the ashes of her sister, and may she rest peacefully. We miss her.
The sand is for the horses. The parts that really got to me , were where her crown was taken off her coffin - her duty was done. Then her piper gave her his last tribute, walking away into the distance still playing his bagpipes x I found Princess Diana's funeral equally moving, especially her brother's speech and Elton John singing x
@susanlee5508 That broke me. I was already a gibbering wreck and that beautiful tune finished me off. Why does it still hurt? I never met her bit knew her all my life.
I suggest you watch a proper documentary with a comentary to answer your many questions. You only watched a part of the journey from Westminster Hall, where Her Magesty lay in state whilst crowds files past, to the Abbey. You could also watch the whole of the elaborate, meaningful funeral service - the journey to Windsor, along roads lined with the public - the journey up the Long Walk to Windsor Castle lined with thousands and the complete service of committal with all its centuries old traditions as the lead lined coffin is lower to the vaults to join her husband.
In British funerals, we don't forget much emotion. At my mother's funeral, the hardest thing was stopping myself from crying. We honour in public, but grieve in private.
This is true for many British people. Everyone's a bit different, but for my family at any rate, we don't cry at funerals. Not because we don't care, but because crying in public is not good form - it's "making yourself the centre of attention" - rather than allowing everyone to concentrate on the person we're mourning for.
I also think that quiet dignity is incredibly emotional but in a reverent way. It doesn't always mean emotion is bottled up just expressed in a different way if that makes sense. A British 🇬🇧 stiff upper lip isn't an indicator of a hard heart ❤️ quite the opposite is often true!
Yup. As someone with clinical 💩 🧠, I actively avoid funerals now. Even if it's people I've adored and/or been family. Queue a TLDR - One of my father's life long friends (one of those adoptive uncle types, not blood, but he was an uncle nonetheless) took his own life a couple of years ago, and upon the funeral, I literally couldn't contain my emotions. Crying more than his own daughter? Nope. I'm not gonna do that again in a hurry.
The Queen was given her first dignified service in Scotland.... She died in Scotland, Scotland was her favourite area of the country. Thank you to our brothers and sisters in Scotland 🏴
BALM0RAL, HER C0MF0RTABLE & RELAXING PLACE. PRINCESS ANNE, THE PRINCESS R0YAL, SAT IN THE CAR F0R THE L0NG SL0W J0URNEY FR0M BALM0RAL AND ALS0 0N THE FLIGHT DAYS LATER. THE ATTENDENCE FR0M ACR0SS THE C0MM0NWEALTH AND ACR0SS THE GL0BE WAS AMAZING.
I remember the announcement that Her Majesty had died, on the radio as I got home from work. Completely broke me, i cried harder than ever. The footage of the funeral always brings tears, and pride. God Save the Queen
I actually went outside my house & payed my respects to the Queen, as she passed our street. We stay up north, very close to where she was at in Balmoral. The only way of her getting down to London, was for her to pass by us. It was a lovely touching moment. One I was proud I could be a part of.
Even as a German it was hard to watch this. She had such an influence, almost everyone in Europe loved Queen Elisabeth II. She deserved this funeral procession.
You should watch the service from Edinburgh, there is a moment when the procession is going down The Royal Mile when a beam of sunlight shines down on the coffin, it's quite something.
You had me in tears all over again. I am British, yet it always moves me to see how we do things with such ceremony and precision.. It's so lovely that you take an interest. You guys are awesome ❤
The lone piper was effectively the queens alarm clock. He would play outside the palace at the same time every morning and would have known her personally. He completed his final duty to her that day.
@@shirleyanneyoung955The piper actually plays under her bedroom window every morning at every royal residence. It's been a tradition since Queen Victoria.
@myladyswardrobe It wasn't and isn't just the case that it only happens/happened at Balmoral. It happened at every royal residence when she was staying there. Each morning, the piper marches below the window where her bedroom was located and played for 15 minutes. It was kinda like her alarm call each morning. This has actually been the case and happens at every residence since Queen Victoria. It's a tradition that's been upheld by every monarch since then and is still done even now with Charles as the monarch, too. Here's an excerpt from an article about it. For most of her reign, the Queen was roused by the sound of bagpipes played beneath her window -- at all her residences around the country. The Piper to the Sovereign for decades acted as a personal alarm clock, playing for 15 minutes each morning, as well as on state occasions. I've replied to this mssg again with a link to the article that tells you all about her official piper.
Agreed. They did magnificently. Some were on active service overseas and were called back to the UK. They rehearsed each portion of the movement of her coffin for days as a team. They didn’t just carry her coffin on the day of her funeral; they began that duty when she arrived in London by a military jet and they were the only ones who moved her until they placed her coffin on the catafalque at St George’s Chapel. Her coffin then descended into the vault as her lone piper played and walked away. At that point, she was in he hands of the church and they moved her casket to its final resting place, beside her husband, sister and parents.
Thank you Steve and especially Lindsey for the respect you showed. She was our Queen and we loved her. You showed us ultimate respect in your reactions.
Omg lump in my throat all the way through , but the part where her coffin passes her beloved pony and corgis was so moving . She deserved every bit of the respect shown .
You should watch when Her Majesty was lying in state. When her children took their places round the coffin and then when her grandchildren did the same. Also see the amount of people queueing to pay their respects to her. One of the most beautiful bits was when her coffin passed her favourite pony, standing by the the roadside. So incredibly emotional.
......and her beloved corgis, there was something at each moment that turned the tears on stronger, the dedication of the naval soldiers pulling the coffin, discipline of all the troops, dedication of her family, love of the people there, the stunning buildings that were shown and of course utilised, the music, choirs, service, stunning abbey, castle, just on and on. I will watch this again and will know as soon as the gun carriage pulls away with the wonderful navy assisting the tears will fall.......and continue throughout the rest of my lifetime. RIP Your Majesty.
Did you see the spider on the flowers on the wreath from Sandringham on her coffin? There were rainbows, brilliant sunshine in the Highlands. Squirrels round the guns in Hyde Park. Rain in London. The very British Isles themselves paid tribute.
The children and grandchildren made me cry. Standing there silent. Everyone passing by and totally ignoring them out of respect. Leaving them alone in a crowd with all their memories. So beautiful.
I am a 53 year old veteran who served in operation Desert Storm. I shed quite a few tears when the Queen passed. An amazing woman. Love and peace you two.
at about @10.00 (ish)... Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms.... and my Queen (I'm English) just always try to convey that....the most powerful woman on the planet, but with what they call "soft power"....
Sending hugs Lyndsey. I still cry 2 years later. Thank you both for the respect you are showing our beloved Queen. To make you smile please watch the Queen in the London 2012 opening ceremony and with Paddington at the start of the platinum Jubilee. Her sense of humour was brilliant
@@reactingtomyrootsalso worth mentioning that the coffin is lead lined and weighed between 250 & 317kg or 551lbs to 699lbs I think when that’s taken in to account it really puts in to perspective how well they did.
It was a very emotional time, from her subjects lining the route from Scotland to the Palace. The lying in state and thousands paying their respects. The funeral was beautifully done, I heard marching for days afterward.
Something I posted at the time: "Queen Elizabeth II was already 3yrs old when my grandmother was born. She was already Queen when my father was born. She wasn’t just Queen of a generation, but of many. Countries have risen and fallen, people have mapped DNA and stood on the moon, connected the world through transport and communication, cured illness and won liberties- and Queen Elizabeth was always there, reassuringly steadfast in a world of change. She was in essence a British Statue of Liberty, an Eiffel Tower, a Tower of Pisa; and that tiny 5ft-tall woman stood head and shoulders above them all as a monument of our nation. You don’t have to be a monarchist to appreciate the contribution she made to this country and to the world. She didn't demand respect because of her rank- she earned it. She was just… there, since long before we- and even our parents- were born. And now she’s gone…" I think what got me the most was the outpouring from around the world, it was insane (and hard to find on RUclips grr)! British Embassies around the world became a sea of flowers from members of the public who had no connection to our country but recognised the contribution she'd made and shared in our loss. These were just ordinary people, not officials etc, taking the time and trouble to show their respect. Even countries that generally detest us. Someone in Ukraine actually took time out from the war to paint a large mural of the Queen on the side of a building there. The Canadian Prime Minister got really emotional. The French president gave a touching speech which was clearly personal to him. Even Putin sent condolences. It's hard to imagine a single other person in history who has generated such warmth from such a wide variety of countries, cultures and religions. It made me very proud to have shared my little island with her.
My nana was born when Victoria was Queen and she died when Elizabeth was Queen. My mum was born when George VI was King and died when Elizabeth was Queen. Elizabeth was the Queen when I was born not sure who will be king when I die.
I suggest you react to a short video - Queen Elizabeth : Her Final Duty : The Nation's Farewell. It briefly shows the events in Scotland (she died at Balmoral), transfer to London, the queue at the lying in State, and transfer to Windsor. It will give you an idea of what happened over 10 days after her death. It's a source of great pride that she was so respected and held in such high regard across the world.
The coffin was taken to Windsor Castle, where the jewels were removed from the coffin and it was then lowered through the floor. The crown is the Imperial State crown which has the Black Prince's ruby among many other famous jewels on it. The actual place of burial is with the Queen's father, George VI, and her late husband Prince Philip in a chamber in the castle.
No, don't use Kleenex, use a handkerchief. On the day of the funeral I cried for almost a solid 9 hours and had a sore face. Really, the 2nd video only shows a fraction of the highlights. R.I.P. Your Majesty 🏴🇬🇧
As a Brit, this makes me immensely proud to be British. NO other nation can do official ceremonies like this. Steeped in history and tradition. What a send off for HM Queen Elizabeth II. God rest her soul.
The bit that got me the most which wasn't shown here was the piper playing and walking away from her coffin at the very end. I'm not particularly "into" the Royal family but I respect them and felt real sadness when Elizabeth died.Her funeral on the day was very special
I said the same. That piper as he turned the corner and walked out of sight, felt like her spirit leaving our realm. That’s the bit that hit me most, despite like you, not being all that ‘into’ the Royals.
I’m 77 yrs. old & one of my earliest memories was the Queen’s Coronation. My parents bought their first tv to watch it, & neighbours from next door came in to watch it.
@reactingtomyroots , the trouble with getting selection of the funeral is you get what they think is the best parts . You didn't see all the Pipes and Drums and like you said it was brilliant , you also missed the lone piper in the Abby and like you said it was excellent as well as the lone piper in St George's chapel . Plus who can forget once they got to Windsor the horses joined to travel " the long walk " to the Castle See if you can see one or two better videos for the wife to see ( CNN and SKY Australia had two very good videos , you can always fast forward ) these two just like the BBC have commentators explaining what and why things are happening.
The Queen died at Balmoral in Scotland and her journey to London kept us glued to the tv for days. The coffin was always accompanied by Princess Anne and even on the back roads in Scotland people gathered to watch the hearse pass. At the cathedral in Edinburgh people queued to pay their respects. The sight of her 4 children standing guard around the coffin during her laying in state in London was most moving. The crown and the other regalia on the coffin were real not facsimiles. The Queen is buried at Windsor Castle, as is her father and many previous Kings
I was on the royal mile with my kids as she passed with her children. We joined the miles of respectful queues to pay our respects as St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh. Her children all stood vigil as we passed and this emotive image helped a nation grieving to see that. We steel feel lost without her. Royals don't show emotions in public settings as they need to show strength for us all. the British find public displays of emotion a little false and crude on TV etc. plus the royals remain stoic to allow all of us to grieve and cry, before keeping their own tears for a private service after. Being stoic at the worst of times, is who we are as a nation. We much prefer to do that in private, with our famous 'stiff upper lip' often on show. She led us all with dignity, strength and grace and she's part of. who we are.
Just watched this 4 days after it was posted, even after two years its a very sad occasion to see again. RIP Queen Elizabeth , so sadly missed many of us British Citizens and indeed Worldwide.
The coffin is on a gun carriage is 123 years old and was used to carry the coffin of Queen Victoria, it is not pulled by horses, though it is extremely heavy.. it is pulled by the young naval cadets. Who are in front of, and behind....as they have to both pull and act as brakes.
Not Cadets (I.e. not young officers) but Royal Navy Ratings (I.e. Sailors such as an Able Seaman, Marine Engineering Mechanic, Writer, Chef, Aircraft Handler, Leading Seaman (Submariner) - and some of them women and some in their teens).
Your reactions just show how much Queen Elizabeth II was loved and admired, not just in the UK, but around the world. I still can’t believe she is gone.
Bless your hearts 😢.....as a royalist and patriot seeing your reaction brings it all back. So proud of my heritage and traditions we keep to this day, something very special about how we celebrate and mourn.
I am 73 years old. Born in the reign of her father George 6th. She was my Queen all my life, and even now watching YOUR reaction brings more that a few tears to my eyes. Thank you for you very very respectful reactions to the funeral of such a dearly loved Monarch.
The whole day here in the UK was an emotional rollercoaster. But the Long Walk at Windsor and Emma, her beloved pony standing there as she passed absolutely broke me , as did the piper at the end . 2 years today and hurts. We miss our beloved late Queen ❤
This funeral was our way of saying goodbye to our most beloved QUEEN ELIZABETH II who was my Queen for seventy of my seventy four years of life, she meant everything to her people and we still miss her deeply and always will. I still cry when i see this it is still difficult for all of us in the United Kingdom. Thankyou for your respect to our Monarchy. 🤎🇬🇧🏴🇺🇸
It is said that when George V died and Queen Mary turned and curtsied to her her son Edwsrd VIII (despite his later harsh words about his mother) he wept bitterly on her should. When he then abdicated his brother, George VI, did the same thing.

I was born in 1952 so she was always my monarch. I was so devastated.
Likewise, born in '51 - I never knew anything else.
The moment that really got me was the lone piper walking down the hall, his music slowly fading out. Absolutely beautiful
It must have been heart-breaking for the piper. He was the Queen's piper who played outside her window each morning to awaken her. This last time he piped her to eternal rest.
This is what makes us Brits so proud. The Royals are so intertwined with our armed forces. This goes back hundreds of yrs. We are one! We are traditional and honoured to have our royalty. They really are part of our culture. So important. Love you guys for your appreciation.
It’s worth noting that the full broadcast of the Queen’s funeral was over eight hours, and I watched every minute of it.
So did I, I wasn't in the UK at the time but still watched it as sign of respect to our beloved late Queen.
Me too.
I actually recorded All Of IT and it still takes up a huge amount of space on my hard drive. 😳 Will probably never have time to watch it all again, until I retire.
I didn't see any of it because someone I love very much was dying at the same time as the funeral. One day I will see it but it brings back awful memories at the moment.
@@dianehinton4225so sorry for your loss x🕊️
The sand on the road is to stop the horses slipping on the hard concrete. We do it for all processions where horses are used.
It also used to be done outside houses for funerals.
I understand that the sand on the road was to prevent the gun carriage from sliding when making a turn, not necessarily for the horses, after all the horses were fine on all the other road surfaces. I speak as someone who was part of Winston Churchills funeral.
I am 61 and a man and I cried during the funeral (even watching this again brings tears to my eyes) - she was the heart of the nation for all of our lives, the one thing that never changed, and when she died everyone knew something special had gone out of our lives.
She was Britannia.
65 and crying like a baby in Oz.
Yes 💔🥺
America could if been a member of the commonwealth if you eaited fir your independence.
she did fuck all for any of us except be a billionaire happy to take even more of our money
Just a few seconds into the playing of this and i already have tears. My wife and I spent 14 hours waiting to pay our respects to our Queen, I will never forget that day until I die.
The cortege along with the Pipers playing this piece of music is unforgettable.
The greatest Queen in our history.
She was our constant. Our beacon. Always there for the vast majority of our Nation. Her dignity and grace are missed even now.
I felt grief at her passing, not because she was our Queen but because she genuinely cared about everybody in the UK and Commonwealth. She was everybody's Grandmother. Up to this point, obviously I could not remember a time without her. She was unique.
Let us honor the memory of Trooper Jack Burnell-Williams, who died, after having had the honor of carrying Her Majesty's coffin.
How did he die?
@@Suprahampton according to a quick google search
"An 18-year-old soldier has been found dead at an Army barracks in London.
Trooper Jack Burnell-Williams, from Bridgend, died on Wednesday after being found unresponsive at Hyde Park Barracks just before 16:00 BST.
According to reports, he was involved in the late Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral arrangements.
An Army spokesman said: "Our thoughts are with the soldier's family and friends at this difficult time and we ask that their privacy is respected."
Family and friends are set to gather in his memory at Bryntirion Football Club in Bridgend on Saturday afternoon.
His death is not being treated as suspicious.
The case has been referred to the coroner, a Met Police spokesman said."
Extremely sad at such a young age
Additional Note : He was found dead 2 days after the Queens Funeral
@@garyedwards2533Jack Burnell-Williams passed away on September 28th. On the day of the funeral, a tribute was paid with the release of blue balloons at Bryntirion Football Club in Bridgend, Wales.
Any case of a sudden death, especially if there are no known medical reason, will always be passed on to the local coroner, simply because the authority's want to know why, just in case it may be from a contagious disease.
I didn't know that 😢
She was the Queen of Canada as well. We love her here. Thank you for learning about her and her legacy. She was the most extraordinary woman and life.
🇬🇧❤️🇨🇦
We love you canada
Well said Canada, from another Commonwealth country, way down here in Australia.
She walked past me when I was a very young Navy technical trade apprentice selected for a 100 person guard of honour when the Queen come to open the naval memorial in the federal capital (Canberra) 1986.
I maintained a thousand yard stare when she passed by so only got the briefest glance even though she was 2 feet away.
Yes, she gave her whole life to "The Firm".
She was my queen for 57 years of my life. When she died a part of me died and the last great monarch of England passed.
Two years later and I still cried during this. I miss her so much 😢
The Queen wasn't just the most famous person on planet. She was a much loved grandmother to the nation and the wider commonwealth. She.
Provided love, continuity, comfort and support to the entire nation.
She was also the most respected person on the planet.
Queen Elizabeth & Prince Philip sorely missed RIP
Truly loved the UK 🇬🇧 Country and Citizens.
Just 2 weeks after carrying the queens coffin at the funeral one of those young Welsh solders in red jackets died suddenly ,the family proud he helped lay our late beloved Queen to rest and then the sadness their beloved died ..
I don’t think Lindsay would have made it thorough the entire ceremony! It was a highly charged emotional day most of us will never forget 💔
Came here to say something similar. These are only the highlights.
@@susanlee5508 yes the history of it all was explained as it went along. The family marching behind her coffin was bearly acknowledged here.The little details like the pony and her corgis waiting at Windsor to say goodbye. The pipers lament right at the end 💔
My mum was found collapsed on the same day the Queen died. Mum passed away 5 days later. I managed to watch the whole funeral. Not least because I knew my mum would have watched all the funeral and it would have been something we talked about. I cried along with Lindsay seeing the clips.
@@OrganisedPauper my mother in law died exactly a year later and it’s also my son’s birthday so it’s a date we’re never likely to forget 💔
@@janewilson8676 That's a difficult combination. We have 3 birthdays of close family in September, but near the end of the month. Sorry about your mother in law.
Two years on, I see her funeral, and I still cry. Our country still feels her loss!
Interesting fact. She died in Scotland. Every Scottish veteran volunteered to escort her from Scotland to London with ‘the boss’. She was that loved. Thank you for the video.
She wanted to die in Scotland.......She Loved it so Much!
She died in Scotland to try to preserve the Unionist establishment. If she died in England her body would've stayed there
Those bagpipes and drums are haunting utterly beautiful ❤
It still hurts now watching this. For us British you have to understand...Queen Elizabeth was the one constant in our lives, she was always there for us. When she died it was like losing a member of the family. She was an amazing woman, a WW2 veteran, and she worked tirelessly for the UK and the Commonwealth of Nations. I doubt we'll ever live to see another Monarch who would approach her greatness. And that's what I like to call her...Elizabeth the Great.
Elizabeth was monarch for 70 years, the only Queen I knew, she made us all feel safe. Thank you to the both of you for this.
same here, Im 63 she was the only monarch I had known. I just don't feel the same about King Charles, and having Camilla as Queen sticks in my throat a little.
@@judithwilson3561Camilla is a good Queen who supports Charles and does her job well.
God save the King and Queen!
The Queen became Queen almost 2 yrs before I was born so was the only Queen I've ever known and I was in tears throughout this.
Same here. I was born just after she was crowned in 1953.
We were on a 3000 mile bus tour in US when the announcement was made. It was very touching that everywhere we all went and on hearing our accent, so many Americans went out of their way to approach us to give their heartfelt condolences.
We loved her too. The whole world did. ❤
Aww, thank you for sharing that ❤️
@@reactingtomyroots You’re very welcome, we will always remember that fondly.
Thank you for understanding our love for Queen Elizabeth . All those soldiers , sailors and airmen felt this was an honour unparalleled , I know one of the beefeaters and he was on duty that day , he felt it to be both the finest and worst day of his life, he would have laid down his life for his queen and most of her subjects feel the the loss most deeply.
St George’s chapel at Windsor is where she now rests , with her parents and Prince Philip and the ashes of her sister, and may she rest peacefully. We miss her.
It’s very touching to see you so emotional about our beloved Queen ❤❤❤
The sand is for the horses. The parts that really got to me , were where her crown was taken off her coffin - her duty was done. Then her piper gave her his last tribute, walking away into the distance still playing his bagpipes x I found Princess Diana's funeral equally moving, especially her brother's speech and Elton John singing x
@susanlee5508 That broke me. I was already a gibbering wreck and that beautiful tune finished me off. Why does it still hurt? I never met her bit knew her all my life.
I suggest you watch a proper documentary with a comentary to answer your many questions. You only watched a part of the journey from Westminster Hall, where Her Magesty lay in state whilst crowds files past, to the Abbey.
You could also watch the whole of the elaborate, meaningful funeral service - the journey to Windsor, along roads lined with the public - the journey up the Long Walk to Windsor Castle lined with thousands and the complete service of committal with all its centuries old traditions as the lead lined coffin is lower to the vaults to join her husband.
Paul Burns the piper was originally Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders, 5 Scots.
the piper that walked off and went quieter as he walked away just finished me on the day of the funeral. Pipes are so haunting.
The crown being removed and the Piper walking away was really emotional
In British funerals, we don't forget much emotion. At my mother's funeral, the hardest thing was stopping myself from crying. We honour in public, but grieve in private.
This is true for many British people. Everyone's a bit different, but for my family at any rate, we don't cry at funerals. Not because we don't care, but because crying in public is not good form - it's "making yourself the centre of attention" - rather than allowing everyone to concentrate on the person we're mourning for.
Well said.
I also think that quiet dignity is incredibly emotional but in a reverent way. It doesn't always mean emotion is bottled up just expressed in a different way if that makes sense. A British 🇬🇧 stiff upper lip isn't an indicator of a hard heart ❤️ quite the opposite is often true!
That’s why I hate funerals. I have to think of something else so that I don’t cry and I don’t think that’s right. We should be allowed to cry
Yup. As someone with clinical 💩 🧠, I actively avoid funerals now. Even if it's people I've adored and/or been family.
Queue a TLDR - One of my father's life long friends (one of those adoptive uncle types, not blood, but he was an uncle nonetheless) took his own life a couple of years ago, and upon the funeral, I literally couldn't contain my emotions. Crying more than his own daughter? Nope. I'm not gonna do that again in a hurry.
The Queen was given her first dignified service in Scotland.... She died in Scotland, Scotland was her favourite area of the country. Thank you to our brothers and sisters in Scotland 🏴

God bless you sweetheart for your heartfelt reaction
I remember the announcement that Her Majesty had died, on the radio as I got home from work. Completely broke me, i cried harder than ever. The footage of the funeral always brings tears, and pride. God Save the Queen
She died the day of my Mum's funeral. We found out as we came out of the chapel and turned our phones on.
I actually went outside my house & payed my respects to the Queen, as she passed our street. We stay up north, very close to where she was at in Balmoral. The only way of her getting down to London, was for her to pass by us. It was a lovely touching moment. One I was proud I could be a part of.
That’s wonderful, to be close and take a small part 😢
@@Freespeech141 it was, but as you would expect, very sad, too.
Thanks to you both for being so respectful , humble and sincere in your reaction to our beloved Queens funeral. God bless you both.
The respect shown to our Queen at this funeral will be remembered for many years to come.
Even as a German it was hard to watch this. She had such an influence, almost everyone in Europe loved Queen Elisabeth II. She deserved this funeral procession.
Hey our family are virtually German. My mother was German and I absolutely love Germans and Germany xx
She was the best Queen ever thank you America ❤from.the uk🇬🇧
You should watch the service from Edinburgh, there is a moment when the procession is going down The Royal Mile when a beam of sunlight shines down on the coffin, it's quite something.
No matter how many times I watch Queen Elizabeth's funeral I always end up crying
There is no better country that pays honour and respect god bless you Great Britain !
R.I.P Queen Elizabeth II .
Thank you 🙏 I’m so proud to be British, watching this.
You know the respect you guys show for the honour and respect we show our Royal Family is beautiful, thank you from us 🇬🇧 🇦🇺 🇺🇸
You had me in tears all over again. I am British, yet it always moves me to see how we do things with such ceremony and precision.. It's so lovely that you take an interest. You guys are awesome ❤
I respected our queen so much for dedicating her young life to be our queen she was a beautiful person and will forever be missed.
The lone piper was effectively the queens alarm clock. He would play outside the palace at the same time every morning and would have known her personally. He completed his final duty to her that day.
The piper played outside Balmoral every morning when the queen was in residence.
And KC3 has kept him on xx
@@shirleyanneyoung955The piper actually plays under her bedroom window every morning at every royal residence. It's been a tradition since Queen Victoria.
@@chadUCSD In Balmoral. Not in Buckingham Palace.
@myladyswardrobe It wasn't and isn't just the case that it only happens/happened at Balmoral. It happened at every royal residence when she was staying there. Each morning, the piper marches below the window where her bedroom was located and played for 15 minutes. It was kinda like her alarm call each morning. This has actually been the case and happens at every residence since Queen Victoria. It's a tradition that's been upheld by every monarch since then and is still done even now with Charles as the monarch, too.
Here's an excerpt from an article about it.
For most of her reign, the Queen was roused by the sound of bagpipes played beneath her window -- at all her residences around the country. The Piper to the Sovereign for decades acted as a personal alarm clock, playing for 15 minutes each morning, as well as on state occasions.
I've replied to this mssg again with a link to the article that tells you all about her official piper.
Hugs to you Lindsay. I thought I had exhausted all my crying two years ago but the tears are running down my cheeks watching again with you. 💚
Same, Linda. 😢💔
Many have said. Those 8 lads who carried her majesty were outstanding that day.
Agreed, the queen was tiny lady but it was fully lead lined.. Thank you again to all who serve.
Agreed. They did magnificently. Some were on active service overseas and were called back to the UK. They rehearsed each portion of the movement of her coffin for days as a team. They didn’t just carry her coffin on the day of her funeral; they began that duty when she arrived in London by a military jet and they were the only ones who moved her until they placed her coffin on the catafalque at St George’s Chapel. Her coffin then descended into the vault as her lone piper played and walked away. At that point, she was in he hands of the church and they moved her casket to its final resting place, beside her husband, sister and parents.
And the rest around her, protecting her for the last time, that broke me 😢
Thank you Steve and especially Lindsey for the respect you showed. She was our Queen and we loved her. You showed us ultimate respect in your reactions.
From the UK thank you. RIP Our Queen.🇬🇧
Omg lump in my throat all the way through , but the part where her coffin passes her beloved pony and corgis was so moving . She deserved every bit of the respect shown .
You should watch when Her Majesty was lying in state. When her children took their places round the coffin and then when her grandchildren did the same. Also see the amount of people queueing to pay their respects to her.
One of the most beautiful bits was when her coffin passed her favourite pony, standing by the the roadside. So incredibly emotional.
That was wonderful, the grandchildren were amazing . This was a great video , pity he didn’t show a bit of them standing by her coffin in state.
......and her beloved corgis, there was something at each moment that turned the tears on stronger, the dedication of the naval soldiers pulling the coffin, discipline of all the troops, dedication of her family, love of the people there, the stunning buildings that were shown and of course utilised, the music, choirs, service, stunning abbey, castle, just on and on. I will watch this again and will know as soon as the gun carriage pulls away with the wonderful navy assisting the tears will fall.......and continue throughout the rest of my lifetime. RIP Your Majesty.
Did you see the spider on the flowers on the wreath from Sandringham on her coffin? There were rainbows, brilliant sunshine in the Highlands. Squirrels round the guns in Hyde Park. Rain in London. The very British Isles themselves paid tribute.
@@Songbirdstress Very true. Well done for noticing, you must be very observant.
The children and grandchildren made me cry. Standing there silent. Everyone passing by and totally ignoring them out of respect. Leaving them alone in a crowd with all their memories. So beautiful.
I am a 53 year old veteran who served in operation Desert Storm.
I shed quite a few tears when the Queen passed. An amazing woman. Love and peace you two.
She was respected by so many people of all ages, because of her steadfast duty for the nation.
at about @10.00 (ish)... Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms.... and my Queen (I'm English) just always try to convey that....the most powerful woman on the planet, but with what they call "soft power"....
I can’t believe I cried again watching this, she was a great lady in her reign she never put a foot wrong.
Sending hugs Lyndsey. I still cry 2 years later. Thank you both for the respect you are showing our beloved Queen. To make you smile please watch the Queen in the London 2012 opening ceremony and with Paddington at the start of the platinum Jubilee. Her sense of humour was brilliant
The Pall Bearers were from Queen's Company 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards. What a responsibility and an honour they had throughout the day.
Yes, a moment they will never forget, I'm sure!
@@reactingtomyrootsalso worth mentioning that the coffin is lead lined and weighed between 250 & 317kg or 551lbs to 699lbs I think when that’s taken in to account it really puts in to perspective how well they did.
St Georges Chapel is in Windsor Castle. One of her favourite homes. I get so emotional when I see this. She was like our grandmother
It was a very emotional time, from her subjects lining the route from Scotland to the Palace. The lying in state and thousands paying their respects. The funeral was beautifully done, I heard marching for days afterward.
Something I posted at the time:
"Queen Elizabeth II was already 3yrs old when my grandmother was born. She was already Queen when my father was born. She wasn’t just Queen of a generation, but of many. Countries have risen and fallen, people have mapped DNA and stood on the moon, connected the world through transport and communication, cured illness and won liberties- and Queen Elizabeth was always there, reassuringly steadfast in a world of change. She was in essence a British Statue of Liberty, an Eiffel Tower, a Tower of Pisa; and that tiny 5ft-tall woman stood head and shoulders above them all as a monument of our nation. You don’t have to be a monarchist to appreciate the contribution she made to this country and to the world. She didn't demand respect because of her rank- she earned it. She was just… there, since long before we- and even our parents- were born. And now she’s gone…"
I think what got me the most was the outpouring from around the world, it was insane (and hard to find on RUclips grr)! British Embassies around the world became a sea of flowers from members of the public who had no connection to our country but recognised the contribution she'd made and shared in our loss. These were just ordinary people, not officials etc, taking the time and trouble to show their respect. Even countries that generally detest us. Someone in Ukraine actually took time out from the war to paint a large mural of the Queen on the side of a building there. The Canadian Prime Minister got really emotional. The French president gave a touching speech which was clearly personal to him. Even Putin sent condolences. It's hard to imagine a single other person in history who has generated such warmth from such a wide variety of countries, cultures and religions. It made me very proud to have shared my little island with her.
This is a beautiful comment. Thank you for sharing 🤍
I agree with others a very beautiful comment . I still cry watching it back
Beautiful words.
My nana was born when Victoria was Queen and she died when Elizabeth was Queen. My mum was born when George VI was King and died when Elizabeth was Queen. Elizabeth was the Queen when I was born not sure who will be king when I die.
@@laurabailey1054 ditto.
The queen layed in state for four days and over 250 , 000 people went to pay their respects .
People spent up to fourteen hours in the line - men, women and their children. At one point it was almost ten miles long.
@@tacfoley4443 But if you were Holly or Phil you skipped straight to the front of the queue
I wish I had gone :(
I went. Took me 7 hours to get there. Worth every second.
Laid in state.
I suggest you react to a short video - Queen Elizabeth : Her Final Duty : The Nation's Farewell. It briefly shows the events in Scotland (she died at Balmoral), transfer to London, the queue at the lying in State, and transfer to Windsor. It will give you an idea of what happened over 10 days after her death. It's a source of great pride that she was so respected and held in such high regard across the world.
Thankyou for being respectful.
The coffin was taken to Windsor Castle, where the jewels were removed from the coffin and it was then lowered through the floor. The crown is the Imperial State crown which has the Black Prince's ruby among many other famous jewels on it. The actual place of burial is with the Queen's father, George VI, and her late husband Prince Philip in a chamber in the castle.
This LADY was loved by soooo many people the U.K. came to a standstill the day of the funeral.
Oh, bless you Lindsey.
Bless you Lindsey, try watching the entire service but with a lot of Kleenex
No, don't use Kleenex, use a handkerchief. On the day of the funeral I cried for almost a solid 9 hours and had a sore face.
Really, the 2nd video only shows a fraction of the highlights.
R.I.P. Your Majesty 🏴🇬🇧
😂
As a Brit, this makes me immensely proud to be British. NO other nation can do official ceremonies like this. Steeped in history and tradition. What a send off for HM Queen Elizabeth II. God rest her soul.
You need to watch the whole thing, it's so beautiful, for a beautiful wonderful queen. Xx
I think the road is for the horses or so the soldiers dont slip. That is some walk.
The flowers on the coffin where the same flowers in her wedding bouquet from the royal gardens
Finding that out just about broke me up...............
Oh my goodness 🥺
The bit that got me the most which wasn't shown here was the piper playing and walking away from her coffin at the very end. I'm not particularly "into" the Royal family but I respect them and felt real sadness when Elizabeth died.Her funeral on the day was very special
I said the same. That piper as he turned the corner and walked out of sight, felt like her spirit leaving our realm. That’s the bit that hit me most, despite like you, not being all that ‘into’ the Royals.
Yep, that bit broke me most of all. I thought I was done, but no, not done.
@@katrinakent1684 Absolutely!
@@lostingothicmusic I know what you mean
I was in tears along with you, Lindsay 😢 as I was two years ago. The queen's piper was so beautiful. 🫅
I agree, that got me… I watched the whole thing and when the lone piper walked away slowly as he was playing that got to me the most
Hugs, Anne ❤️
I’m 77 yrs. old & one of my earliest memories was the Queen’s Coronation. My parents bought their first tv to watch it, & neighbours from next door came in to watch it.
He was her private piper from Balmoral and awoke her every morning with said pipes 🏴
@reactingtomyroots , the trouble with getting selection of the funeral is you get what they think is the best parts .
You didn't see all the Pipes and Drums and like you said it was brilliant , you also missed the lone piper in the Abby and like you said it was excellent as well as the lone piper in St George's chapel . Plus who can forget once they got to Windsor the horses joined to travel " the long walk " to the Castle
See if you can see one or two better videos for the wife to see ( CNN and SKY Australia had two very good videos , you can always fast forward )
these two just like the BBC have commentators explaining what and why things are happening.
They missed the lone piper walking away as he plays Sleep Dearie Sleep. His final tune he played for our late Queen
It's amazing how quickly time passes. She died just 6 days after my birthday, the same day my father died.
She was my queen for all of the 65 yrs of my life xx
The Queen died at Balmoral in Scotland and her journey to London kept us glued to the tv for days. The coffin was always accompanied by Princess Anne and even on the back roads in Scotland people gathered to watch the hearse pass. At the cathedral in Edinburgh people queued to pay their respects. The sight of her 4 children standing guard around the coffin during her laying in state in London was most moving. The crown and the other regalia on the coffin were real not facsimiles. The Queen is buried at Windsor Castle, as is her father and many previous Kings
She is with Phillip at Windsor.
@@angeladormer6659and her parents and sister.
" We four " back together again as they started out all those years ago. Very fitting.
@@annicecooper8105 So true.
I was on the royal mile with my kids as she passed with her children. We joined the miles of respectful queues to pay our respects as St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh. Her children all stood vigil as we passed and this emotive image helped a nation grieving to see that. We steel feel lost without her. Royals don't show emotions in public settings as they need to show strength for us all. the British find public displays of emotion a little false and crude on TV etc. plus the royals remain stoic to allow all of us to grieve and cry, before keeping their own tears for a private service after. Being stoic at the worst of times, is who we are as a nation. We much prefer to do that in private, with our famous 'stiff upper lip' often on show. She led us all with dignity, strength and grace and she's part of. who we are.
Thank you for adding more context to the process. I'm sure it's a showing that none of you will ever forget! ❤️
We loved the Queen. She served us all of her adult life. It was only right that we surrounded her with love and glory on her final journey.
The dirt on the road outside the abbey is sand. For grip, usually for horses
Just watched this 4 days after it was posted, even after two years its a very sad occasion to see again. RIP Queen Elizabeth , so sadly missed many of us British Citizens and indeed Worldwide.
Its the lone piper that starts playing and walking away as she is lowered gets me every time.
The coffin is on a gun carriage is 123 years old and was used to carry the coffin of Queen Victoria, it is not pulled by horses, though it is extremely heavy.. it is pulled by the young naval cadets. Who are in front of, and behind....as they have to both pull and act as brakes.
Not Cadets (I.e. not young officers) but Royal Navy Ratings (I.e. Sailors such as an Able Seaman, Marine Engineering Mechanic, Writer, Chef, Aircraft Handler, Leading Seaman (Submariner) - and some of them women and some in their teens).
The most watched television event in history! There will never be anything like this in our lifetime.
Ehh no
Simply the highest thought of Queen ever. Respected and loved throughout all the world.
Your reactions just show how much Queen Elizabeth II was loved and admired, not just in the UK, but around the world. I still can’t believe she is gone.
Bless your hearts 😢.....as a royalist and patriot seeing your reaction brings it all back. So proud of my heritage and traditions we keep to this day, something very special about how we celebrate and mourn.
I am 73 years old. Born in the reign of her father George 6th. She was my Queen all my life, and even now watching YOUR reaction brings more that a few tears to my eyes. Thank you for you very very respectful reactions to the funeral of such a dearly loved Monarch.
The Long Walk at Windsor Castle & the Queen's Pony Emma, stood head bowed with Her Majesties favourite silk head scarf folded on the saddle.😢
Damnit you made cry again.
The whole day here in the UK was an emotional rollercoaster. But the Long Walk at Windsor and Emma, her beloved pony standing there as she passed absolutely broke me , as did the piper at the end . 2 years today and hurts. We miss our beloved late Queen ❤
Yes I was going to mention they missed that, that really pulled heart strings 😢🐴
her corgi dogs waiting for her return at Windsor was just so so sad.
Bless you Lyndsay for your emotional response. x
Honour and Respect. Exactly right.
Lindsay is such a sweetheart. I love her to bits. You landed a great one there Steve. Bless you, sweetheart.

Agreed, and you can tell how much Steve loves her when he looks at her ❤ #relationshipgoals 😂
This funeral was our way of saying goodbye to our most beloved QUEEN ELIZABETH II who was my Queen for seventy of my seventy four years of life, she meant everything to her people and we still miss her deeply and always will. I still cry when i see this it is still difficult for all of us in the United Kingdom. Thankyou for your respect to our Monarchy. 🤎🇬🇧🏴🇺🇸
The King " broke" at least a bit at the national anthem " God Save the King" rather than it being " God Save the Queen"
He looked so forlorn throughout the whole thing. It is easily forgotten that he'd buried his father only the year before.
It is said that when George V died and Queen Mary turned and curtsied to her her son Edwsrd VIII (despite his later harsh words about his mother) he wept bitterly on her should. When he then abdicated his brother, George VI, did the same thing.
Our country has never been the same since our Queen died.
She was such a wonderful woman and so sadly missed..
Thanks for sharing this, it's still very emotional. We lost much more than a reigning monarch that day..
