His court on Friday October 14
QuoteTwo women were allegedly sexually assaulted in the queue to attend the Queen's lying-in-state, a court heard.
Adio Adeshine is accused of exposing himself and pushing into the mourners from behind as they waited in line at Victoria Tower Gardens on Wednesday.
He is charged with two counts of sexual assault and two counts of breaching a sexual harm prevention order.
The 19-year-old appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday.
Outlining the allegations, prosecutor Alex Adowale, said: "The defendant was part of the queue to see the resting in state of Queen Elizabeth II."
His alleged victims are said to have been among the thousands of people who have been lining the banks of the River Thames to view the Queen's coffin.
The court heard the first complainant allegedly noticed Mr Adeshine because she had not previously seen him, despite having waited in the queue with the same people for hours.
She is said to have noticed him getting closer to her before feeling something touching her back, then turned to see he had exposed himself.
The woman later allegedly saw Mr Adeshine acting in a similar way towards another woman, before security were alerted and police called.
He is said to have thrown his phone into the River Thames before entering the water himself.
But the court heard Mr Adeshine was arrested shortly after coming out of the river.
Deputy Chief Magistrate refused to grant Mr Adeshine bail, remanding him in custody ahead of his next appearance at Southwark Crown Court on 14 October.

Sadly I was anticipating a scenario like this one and it seems so were the police. The officers on duty had the suspect under arrest quickly, though understandably people are upset.

QuotePrime Minister Jacinda Ardern has met with the Prince and Princess of Wales, and offered the deep condolences of New Zealand.
She said speaking with Prince William and Princess Catherine was a chance to acknowledge that while Aotearoa had lost a Queen, they had lost a grandmother.
And she noted that for the royal family the events following the loss of their family member were being carried out in public and under extraordinarily wide scrutiny.

"I've come over time to observe that no matter what role or duty you have in life you are still at the end of the day human," Ardern said, "and this is obviously a very public grieving process which everyone in the royal family is having to partake in - but also I've no doubt is deeply personal to them as well."
The prime minister said they were managing it with grace and dignity.

Man Arrested After Rushing Queen Elizabeth's Coffin: Reports (https://people.com/royals/man-arrested-rushing-queen-elizabeth-coffin-westminster-hall-reports/)
I am surprised it only happened this one time. When I saw how exposed, the coffin was to public viewers. It seemed very risky. Especially when the royals were standing at the vigil yesterday, you could see the public walking very close to the royals and the coffin. I am happy the event was controlled quickly.
The King, Queen Consort, Prince and Princess of Wales, Earl and Countess of Wessex and the Princess Royal are at Buckingham Palace hosting a luncheon for the Commonwealth Governors-General. Tomorrow a larger reception will be held for the incoming heads of state, various royals and other diplomats.
QuoteThe governors-general of Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, the Bahamas, Belize, Canada, Grenada, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, the Solomon Islands and Tuvalu were among those present.

The Saudi Crown Prince, who has been accused by human rights groups worldwide of ordering a high profile and gruesome assassination has been invited to the Queen?s funeral. If he attends there are likely to be protests.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-62940906
The BRF are friendly with the Saudi royals but this may be too much.
From the Independent newspaper
Saudia Arabia?s crown prince should not be ?allowed to stain the Queen?s memory?, the fiance of murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi has warned, after reports claimed Mohammed bin Salman plans to visit Britain.
Human rights defenders reacted with alarm to the news, first reported by CNN Arabic, that the heir to the Saudi throne will travel to London on Sunday to pay his respects to Queen Elizabeth II, following her death last week at the age of 96.

What strikes me about the Lying in State (at times of royals at Vigils or not) is how busy it is and also how quiet reverential. The public say nothing, just bow or salute at the coffin and then go.
And it?s great to see females like Bea and Zara at the Vigil. Young James too, maintaining his posture and composure, as indeed they all are. Lovely! A well done to all.

That was very touching.
@Curryong I agree its wonderful to see all the grandkids, not simply the males like with the queen mum. All there to honor Gran.
James did a fine job considering his age and his little exposure to official events. Composed and mature like the rest of them.
How much has changed in 2 weeks for them. William and Kate moved to Windsor only weeks ago to be close to her, changing their kid's school. Now as Prince of Wales he is going to have to more then double his duties and likely be in London more then ever.
Harry and Meghan were back for charity work and then return home to their lives.
Louise all excited to start her first year of university in Scotland.
All reminders how short time can be and how precious.

Oh great, so the queues of Britons who really want to see their Queen lying in State are going to be slowed down even more in the little time there is left before the funeral because this old guy wants to see the scene in Westminster Hall. He certainly won?t be waiting in line! Isn?t attending the funeral enough?
And the Queen reminded him of his mother? What the?.! He?s nearly 80 and looks and acts 90. How old does he think the Queen was!
Queen's Youngest Grandchild, James Severn, Honors Her Coffin at Age 14 (https://people.com/royals/queens-youngest-grandchild-james-severn-stands-guard-at-her-coffin-at-age-14/)
Prince Harry was twelve when he walked, didn?t just stand in homage, but walked quite a distance in front of thousands of mourners and millions more on TV in Diana, his mother?s, cort?ge.
And has PTSD, his truth as he said no one should let a child walk. And he still has a lot of mental issues IMO.
The parents of James and himself wanted this. I see no problem. Each to their own parenting methods.

I wasn?t referring to the Wessexes as parents, and in fact I was about the first poster to praise James for his poise on this forum while the Vigil was actually taking place.
What I was referring to is the OTT coverage by the media and commentators, as if no minor had ever taken part in any homage to a relative before.
And I really believe that, huge as this occasion is, the coverage of the event by certain outlets has reached almost hysterical levels in the past couple of days, in the print media especially. No newspaper should be publishing over twenty pages of tribute to a dead monarch in its pages, and talk of a statue and a specially annual day for the Queen in the future. Really!

Every child and every parent is individual, anyway. I saw the interview in which Harry discussed his PTSD. It wasn't just the walk but if I am remembering correctly he indicated that the PTSD was caused by that whole part of his childhood and youth when his parents' marriage broke down and then she was killed in that tragic accident, all happening within the clicks of cameras and media folk always in his face. His brother noticed he was in trouble and urged him to get some help, and he did. Then in South Africa he said he had thought he had resolved his issues but now he realizes that his depression (I believe that was his word) will have to be managed. This is all so different than James Wessex, who is two years older than Harry was, has grown up in a stable home, his parents seem to be happily married, and he hasn't lost his mother in a horrific way.

I think we would be fine with seeing and hearing the footage with less commentary from the media. In other words, letting the scenes speak for themselves. But I do want to see and hear everything that is happening, and experiencing the funeral and surrounding events almost as if she is someone in my family.

I am American and I don't see why Biden should have his moment (because that's what it usually is with politicians) unless other heads of state do also. And I agree that those who have been in queue for so long should be sidelined.
Another moving and touching vigil by the Queen's grandchildren.

I don't see what the demands are to be honest. By the events so far, the firm, from the Royals to the machinery behind them were prepared from Unicorn (if in Balmoral) to London Bridge, plus the added 'fact' because it's factual so far due to the what you see is what you get tied to ''planned'' cc's, Charles already had in place what HE wants to do. His workaholic is like super confirmed! The what to do list when I'm King.
The mix of doing their Unicorn/London Bridge and New King's business is transparent, media allowed to record, if not then 1 media to distribute to all media (the audiences and 'inside' BP meetings, lunches, leaders of faith meetings)

I don't see what the demands are to be honest. By the events so far, the firm, from the Royals to the machinery behind them were prepared from Unicorn (if in Balmoral) to London Bridge, plus the added 'fact' because it's factual so far due to the what you see is what you get tied to ''planned'' cc's, Charles already had in place what HE wants to do. His workaholic is like super confirmed! The what to do list when I'm King.
The mix of doing their Unicorn/London Bridge and New King's business is transparent, media allowed to record, if not then 1 media to distribute to all media (the audiences and 'inside' BP meetings, lunches, leaders of faith meetings)
Royals are human, and grief is a process. Being present for many public events throughout grieving and the shock of losing a beloved mother/family member qualifies as a demand in my book.

The State Funeral of Her Majesty The Queen will take place tomorrow at Westminster Abbey, followed by a Committal Service at St George's Chapel, Windsor.

There hasn't been a gathering like this for decades.
I'm sure some world leaders will find the idea of arriving by bus a novelty.
But the police is already facing their biggest operation in the force's history - they don't need the hassle of policing 200 separate motorcades.

At least Biden had the decency to accept a view from a balcony above the scene at Westminster Hall, and not go near to the coffin, thus disrupting the queue.
Others weren?t so respectful it seems. The President of Armenia for one apparently wouldn?t stop talking to aides even though the crowds have been silent. Then apparently he insisted on a photo of himself being taken by one of his entourage at the scene. Where do these people learn their protocol!
We?ve also got other strongmen, oligarchs as well, wanting their moment in the sun, and I suppose the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia will be attending the event tonight and the funeral tomorrow.

If he has balcony view and the others don't, it seems to me that he got special treatment. Like in this evening's reception (I've been watching reuters 1. buses 2. vans - the ones in vans looked middle eastern with their styling of black formal morning wear 3. Biden). I DON'T mind, basically if the USA crumbles, domino effect rest of the world. His entourage from aides to security is estimated at 300 people.
At the moment the VIP arrivals from the buses look a bit lost, to be honest. I?m sure they were guided as to where to go once they were inside, but there?s been quite a bit of just looking around followed by going up some stairs, including someone who had a walking frame and clomped it up the stairs one by one. Couldn?t he have been directed to a lift? I saw Felipe there taking a look around at the surroundings beforehand.
Some of them IMO were looking at the 'structure', first time ever in BP. Usually it is their diplomat ambassador and plus1 that have been there done that (Christmas Diplomatic reception with tiaras and white tie) A posting lasts from 3 to 5 years and then moved to another country. Once an ambassador reaches the 'pinacle' of being posted in London, hard to top that. It would need to be Geneva or Paris before retirement. (My brother is married to a daugher of an ambassador dad, they work their countries/career UP. We are a big family of 6; 3 brothers 3 sisters. I'm the spinster :))
How to get 1000 people at least before 7:00 p.m.?!!!
8:00 p.m. there's going to be a minute of silence, will there be an aerial picture of all of them? out in the garden or something?
Right. I?m watching Reuters too, saw Biden and Jill arriving by a different entry, hand in hand. It seems to be taking a while for everyone to get there and eat. Let?s hope nobody has a few drinkies before the meal while their waiting. This would all be much better with a commentary as well, but I suppose that?s not allowed. I recognised a few royals but nobody else.
I?ve just realised. The old man who had the walking frame and was a bit surly was ex King Juan Carlos, with Sofia presumably. Didn?t recognise either. And the ones arriving by car were Jordanian royals.

Canapes and drinks reception (Daily Mail), I'd go for dinner at 8:30 p.m. once out of there. London has the most michelin star restaurants in the world (66)
Apparently most of the royals are now present and correct. I hope poor old King Harald managed the steps. I saw the King and Queen of Bhutan and the Japanese Emperor (I think.) Looked like him. He was alone. And the three Netherlands royals are present as well. I saw Macron and wife enter. Did they come by car, I went to get a snack and missed it?

Oh gosh one last image flurry for today.
A rainbow at Westminster Abbey on the Eve of the Funeral.

Isn?t that beautiful.
Yes, the rainbow is incredibly beautiful!
So it looks like George and Charlotte will walk in the procession. They are old enough.
I think they feel that it's okay for them to do so, even though they are under the age of 10 years.
They'll be surrounded by their family members so they'll be just fine. I expect that of the great-grandchildren that the Phillips sisters and Mia Tindall to be present there tomorrow too even if they don't walk in the procession.
It's incredible to consider that so many of the world's leaders are now peacefully meeting at Buckingham Palace to honor this lady who has been the Head of State for the UK and the other Commonwealth Realms over the decades. She met with so scores of leaders across the globe and tonight the representatives of these various governments are there for her tonight and will be there tomorrow.

I believe so. William said to some people at Sandringham when asked about the children, school, QEII, his answer was that everyone in school was talking a lot about QEII. I personally would show them video clips of Westminster Abbey, the vigils, the processions Edinburgh and London to engage a conversation with children. In fact in schools across the UK. It is part of History.

I agree. They will be surrounded by family members and made to feel safe and secure.

This is an excellent point! Many global leaders and Monarchs have peacefully assembled to honor HMQ. This is an amazing display. I'm looking forward to watching tomorrow's events.

I hope there is great care in taking the children, after seeing how *the boys* of Diana suffered and there was family around them, all children react differently. I am just glad that the walk the children do is very short from what I have read.
And so many people were always watching for her each day to come to events and what she wore and who was there, that was my sister and me each day when we woke up and turned on the computer to check emails, what was HM up today......I still find it hard to really believe HM is gone even being an American she was my fairy tale princess many decades ago.
Not sure where to put this, so mods please remove it to elsewhere if inappropriate on this thread:
The lying-in-state for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is over, I have had my computer on BBC Live since it started. It is so sad, tens of thousands of people, some bowing, some doing the cross, so crying, some walking by in disbelief I think, some not sure what to do, and so many military standing at attention and saluting HM, some praying and some throwing kisses .....and lots of tears. The changing of the guard was amazing, the pageantry, it showed the history of the country, and the princes vigil just made me cry, Charles looked lost in grief, Anne was so stoic and hard looking as she had to keep it together while both Andrew and Edward kept their eyes glued to the floor, and the most precious and saddest was the vigil by the 8 grandchildren, seeing James there at his age with his head bowed and standing tall with all the other grandchildren who were much older showed his maturity beyond his young years. HM would be so proud of her family on how they all handled everything and with all the rainbows during this time I firmly believe that someone is watching over HM and what is going on at this moment. My heart goes out to the entire country and to all the royal family and all those of us who loved and admired Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
I know that I will miss that smile and those sparkling blue eyes forever.. :(

It?s been all right for most of you! Keeping abreast of events from Britain means, because Australia is almost opposite in time (when it?s day in Britain it?s night over here) my sleeping patterns are all over the place! It?s a good job Im retired as I?d be falling asleep at work!
What a fortnight and more! First the terrible news that the Queen was not well, the ominous signs like the BBC announcers all in black, her English-based children and two of her grandchildren rushing up to Balmoral (and all except Anne and Charles missing her last moments.) The news that the Queen had been there for seventy years was no more. We had seen her looking frail but still hoped for the best. It was like a thunderclap. Then the realisation that Charles was now King Charles III. Truly a moment in history.
Then the transportation to Edinburgh and St Giles and the Vigil and the mourning of Scots there. Charles in a kilt. Following that, the long sad journey of the coffin down to England, and non-stop news coverage with nobody really quite processing everything.
Back in London there was the coffin in the Bow Room in BP, and of course the huge mounds of flowers near the Palaces and in the parks and various royals out looking at them and talking to the crowds. Charles in fact hasn?t stopped for a moment, really. Sobbing crowds in London, not quite believing it all the same.
People crying, the extraordinarily long queues at Westminster Hall, the males in her family (and Anne) marched in accompaniment to the coffin being placed there. The world too has responded in an unprecedented way to this. The news coverage has been non-stop. And of course Queen Elizabeth?s family have been absolutely devastated. Mother, mother in law, grandmother, cousin, aunt. What can one say!
After that the Vigil of the Princes at Westminster, with her grandchildren paying homage, and doing it so well. The arrival of world leaders and foreign royalty. The reception at BP last night. And now today, the Queen of seventy years is to be reunited with her beloved Philip after a funeral service at Westminster Abbey and ceremony at St George?s. Again it will be night here in Aus, but I will be watching it overnight. This has been extraordinary and people will remember this week for the rest of their lives.

Flowers on Queen's Coffin Included Nod to Her Wedding Bouquet (https://people.com/royals/queen-elizabeth-flowers-coffin-wreath-included-nod-to-wedding-bouquet/)
Flower is from 1947 wedding I understand explain details
QuoteWhen the coffin emerged, it was draped in the Royal Standard, on which was laid the Imperial State Crown, orb and sceptre as well as a wreath of flowers chosen by King Charles III. The wreath included flowers and foliage cut from the gardens of Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Charles' country home of Highgrove House.
Rosemary was included for remembrance as well as myrtle, the symbol of a happy marriage, cut from a plant that was grown from a sprig of myrtle in the Queen's wedding bouquet in 1947.
English oak, which symbolizes the strength of love, was there along with scented pelargoniums: garden roses, autumnal hydrangea, sedum, dahlias and scabious in shades of gold, pink and deep burgundy with touches of white to match the Royal Standard.
Reflecting Charles's commitment to the environment, the wreath was made in a sustainable way, in a nest of English moss and oak branches and without the use of floral foam.

The seating plan for the senior royals is seen in the article below.
Queen?s funeral seating plan: Meghan & Prince Harry will sit behind King Charles and William and Kate will be opposite | The Sun (https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/19847860/queen-funeral-seating-plan-meghan-harry-william-kate/)
The plan does not follow seniority or precedence. It?s simply the Queen?s children followed numerically by the grandchildren in order or birth, with the exception of William, POW. Peter Phillips was the eldest grandchild followed by Zara and her husband Mike Tindall, and then it would have been, on the front row, Harry (second son of the King) and Meghan.
What threw that out was the decision at the last minute to have George and Charlotte present. And so Harry (and Meghan) were in the second row followed by Bea and her husband etc etc. If the children had not been there then the Sussexes would have been on the front row. Caused quite a few caustic comments.
People question why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seated in second row during Queen?s funeral | The Independent (https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/royal-family/prince-harry-second-row-meghan-markle-funeral-b2170409.html)
There was plenty of discussion on another forum too about why certain European monarchs were seated as they were. There was no rhyme or reason to that, either. Younger monarchs/ruling Princes were placed before older ones even monarchs who had come to their thrones first. So in many ways the arrangements for this funeral were a complete mess.

Peter Phillips is not and never has been a working royal. He was seated in the front row. Zara Tindall has never been a working royal and her husband Mike is certainly not royal nor is he working for them. They were in the front row. And as I explained, the seating went by age of grandchild of the Queen. There was an exception made for Eugenie (and Jack) however so they could sit next to Fergie.

You?re right about that grandchildren of HM Queen Elizabeth II include Sussex,Peter,Zara,Beatrice and Eugenie not work royals but Prince of Wales is seat front row

Nobody is suggesting that the heir to the throne, the Prince of Wales and his wife, shouldn?t be in the front row, but why, apart from the order of their birth as the Queen?s grandchildren, should Peter and Zara occupy front row seats. Working royal or not, Harry is the son of King Charles, just as William is. They aren?t.

Yes
The corgies, pony and the descent teared me up. So did the removal of the crown, orb and spectre. But it was the breaking of the rod that really did me in. And the piper.

It was all beautiful but the marching soldiers and the slowly driven hearse seemed to go at a snail?s pace once it reached the Long Walk at Windsor Castle. I was waiting to see the Committal ceremony (it?s the early hours of Tuesday morning here) and every time I checked the car and marching troops were on the same path!

It was all beautiful but the marching soldiers and the slowly driven hearse seemed to go at a snail?s pace once it reached the Long Walk at Windsor Castle. I was waiting to see the Committal ceremony (it?s the early hours of Tuesday morning here) and every time I checked the car and marching troops were on the same path! Mind you it was a long walk and some of them just looked very tired. As did everybody concerned with today?s ceremonial, really. All will sleep well tonight hopefully, including the Royals.
I?ve been texting with my British SIL. We are both a mess. We agree that the traditions and rituals are what made this so beautiful. Innovation is great but sometimes what we need is tradition.
It shouldn?t be forgotten that neither the moon landing nor Diana?s funeral occurred in the digital age. There are dozens more streaming services now. In those days, at least in Britain there were only three TV channels at the most.

Yes, this is an exceptional event for sure, but my comment about streaming services still stands. How many people in the US, UK and Western Europe for example had computers etc in 1997 as compared to today. And many Third World nations in Africa and Asia didn?t have huge numbers of TV viewers in 1969.
When ?God save the King? was sung at St George?s King Charles was chewing his lips in an effort not to cry.

^^Yes. TV sets only; 1969 1 TV per household. Charles and Diana's wedding 1981 at least 3 TV sets per household. In both occasions the transmission worldwide was free.
Youtube started to exist 2005, Facebook 2004, Twitter 2006. These 3 can go live and stay live like forever If a subscribed channel wants it. Instagram 2010 can go live too, but still has a bit of limitations. Since Thursday 8th September it has all been free as well, it will end today. Then there are ''private'' broadcasting websites that are powered by themselves and can go live if with the amount of equipment like the Queen's death, processions, funeral, etc. that we have had the privilege to watch all since 8/9/2022
ETA: I don't have a TV set since 3 years ago. I have 4 smart screens around the apartment, no boxes attached, smart screens use wifi/internet, then download the broadcasting apps one is subscribed to or download a packaged app like DirecTV too. Before the pandemic I gave the TV sets away to security guard, the maid, the gardener of the building. The thing is one would need/I recommend the best internet package of a carrier. If not, probably better to stick with 1 TV 1 smartscreen.

Yes but burial very private for family members only but no release pictures is limited off!!
Right, there will be no photos. It's a private family event.
I was up around 5 this morning and began watching the feed from Sky News. It was excellent. I managed to see the entire funeral before I had to go to work. Then I just finished watching the Committal Service at St. George's Chapel.
As usual it was a stunning and stirring service for the longest reigning monarch in British history. She was close to meeting France's Louis XIV reign record. The music, the color...even among all the black, and the sheer number the crowds who came to bid her farewell. I'm glad that the final burial will just be for her family.
As to today's seating for the foreign royals, I believe that it was the late Queen's choice to have her fellow Queen Reagents-The Netherlands (Queen) Princess Beatrix and Denmark's Queen Margrethe I take the place of honor in the front row of the foreign reigning households. If Romania was a constitutional monarchy that permitted females to reign, then I believe that Margareta who is the Custodian of the Crown would have been there with them.
I also believe that it was the late Queen's decision as to where to seat her family members today. I believe that the late Queen knew that she might not live long after the DoE's passing and may have made some alterations to some of her original plans. As we saw today, her wishes were honored at the services.
From the Guardian (Aus) a report on the huge Metropolitan Police operations over the past fortnight. All leave cancelled of course.
?After what was described as the biggest security and policing operation in London?s history, the Metropolitan police has released the number of arrests it made during the 11 days after the Queen?s death.
It said it had made 67 arrests in the areas near the palace and Westminster Hall as of 5pm on Monday, for what it said was a range of offences.
More than 3,000 officers from almost every force in the UK were helping the Met?s operation in London. A total of 10,000 officers were deployed for the Queen?s funeral on Monday.
Armed police, motorbike escort riders, officers carrying out patrols on horseback, dog teams and the marine unit were among the specialist teams involved.
Rooftop snipers were in place while the cortege was moving, accompanied by a helicopter escort anywhere outside of the capital, PA Media.
There were more than 22 miles of barriers in central London alone to control crowds and keep key areas secure.
About 2,300 police officers were in place to oversee the Queen?s final journey from Westminster Abbey to Windsor Castle.
About a thousand lined the route, alongside military personnel, from the Abbey to Wellington Arch while the Queen?s coffin was carried from the service by gun carriage.?

Beautiful funeral, watched it when I got home. Touching tribute including having her corgis there.
I am happy there is a private ceremony and no photos. This family also deserves a time to grieve in private.

He suffered from delusions and had decided to track the Queen down at all her residences and speak to her as he did not believe that she was deceased.

The Queen's final resting place has been marked with a simple ledger stone reuniting her for eternity with her adored husband and parents.
It reads simply:
George VI 1895-1952
Elizabeth 1900-2002
Elizabeth II 1926 - 2022
Philip 1921-2021
In between the two couples there is a single metal Garter Star, the insignia of the Order of the Garter, the country's oldest and most noble order of chivalry. It was installed on Monday night after her interment in the King George VI Memorial Chapel at Windsor.
The general public will be able to view the Queen's final resting place from Thursday September 29 as part of a general tour of Windsor Castle.

Did any of Prince Philip's relatives from Germany attend?
A good representation from the extended family of the late Duke of Edinburgh were present yesterday at the State Funeral and Committal Service.
https://c1.quickcachr.fotos.sapo.pt/i/G0f18bff6/22361840_SpPSZ.jpeg
Three relatives from Germany attended the Queen's funeral and memorial service: Prince Bernhard of Baden (Great Nephew of PP), Prince Philipp of Hohenlohe-Langenburg (grandson of PP eldest sister, Princess Margaritaand) Prince Heinrich Donatus of Hesse (He is distantly related to PP. PP third sister, Princess Cecilie, was married to Hereditary Grand Duke Georg Donatus of Hesse and by Rhine in 1931. They had four children, three of whom died in a plane crash that took their lives.)

I don't know if anyone happened to catch a glance of the late Queen's groom with her Fell pony Emma waiting by the Long Walk for the procession. Emma was saddled and HM's Hermes headscarf was draped on the saddle. Elizabeth II rode Emma for 20 years which was long after her doctors had requested that she give up riding.

Quote
The late Queen's groom paid a personal tribute to her yesterday, looping her riding headscarf through the saddle of her favourite pony Emma as they said farewell.
Terry Pendry, who worked as stud groom and manager to Her Majesty The Queen for 25 years, held the reins of Queen Elizabeth's fell pony in one of the most moving scenes on the day of her funeral.
Mr Pendry was seen bowing his head on the Long Walk, Windsor, in a final salute to the boss he came to know well, often riding together and building a respectful friendship based on their mutual love of horses.
It was bittersweet

Well the parents died in the crash too, and their only daughter later died of meningitis. George?s brother Ludwig (Lou) and his wife (Scottish) Peg, had no children so the Hesse and by Rhine line died out. Heinrich was partially adopted by Lou Hesse but he?s really from another branch of the family not from the Hesse and by Rhine lot because as I?ve just written, none of them were left after Lou?s death.

The soldiers have been praised for perfecting the task on Her Majesty's final and saddest journey while watched by billions around the globe as their families described their deep pride at what they did for 'Queen and country'.
But their most important job was carried out in private, when they laid Her Majesty to rest with her husband, father, mother and sister in the royal tomb at St George's Chapel, Windsor, with a small audience of just the King and his close relatives on Monday night.

There were so many touching aspects over the days of the funeral. I would say it was an event fit for a Queen. I especially liked the Queen's funeral pipe player.
The piper, her beloved pony and of the corgis were so special. Personal touches to such a grand funeral.
I notice Lord Nicholas' wife and Duchess of Kent didn't attend with their husbands. Seems odd to me, even if the Duchess is rarely seen now. I hope she is well.

Well the parents died in the crash too, and their only daughter later died of meningitis. George?s brother Ludwig (Lou) and his wife (Scottish) Peg, had no children so the Hesse and by Rhine line died out. Heinrich was partially adopted by Lou Hesse but he?s really from another branch of the family not from the Hesse and by Rhine lot because as I?ve just written, none of them were left after Lou?s death.
It was Heinrich's father Moritz (who died in 2012) who was adopted by Lou. The title went first to Moritz's father Philipp, but estates to Moritz.
Philipp's mother and Lou's father were both grandchildren of Queen Victoria. Lou through Alice, and Philipp through Vicky. Agnatically they were much more distantly related.
Unfortunately there was a shortage of male heirs. Lou and his brother only had a half sister who died at 8. Their father had 5 sisters and only one brother who died at 3. Their grandfather had 2 brothers but they had morgantic marriages so their sons were out.
Donatus is Princess Benedikte's nephew by marriage. His mother Tatiana was a younger sister of Prince Richardd.
Thanks TudorQueen. I should have remembered about Moritz and his famed art collection. That tragic air crash finished the family off really. I read (was in Marlene Koenig?s blog) that Lou and Peg Hesse adored each other and apparently were told that they were both fertile and healthy but they were unable to have children with each other, which is sad. They were both influential in making their estate into a wonderful colony for artists, writers and musicians though.
Ernie of Hesse was bereft after his little brother died wasnt he? They were both playing in Alice?s rooms when Frittie fell out of the window and later died. Even though he was haemophilic I don?t think it made much difference. Alice never really recovered from his death.
The Hesses of by Rhine were a tragic family really, almost cursed. They weren?t too many Grand Dukes who had two members of their families assassinated by Bolsheviks, one of them thrown down a mineshaft, as well as later an entire family wiped out by a plane crash and afterwards illness. Prince Philip?s favourite sister died in that crash, with her unborn child.
For anyone who is interested in photos from the Committal Service at SGC, Royal Musings has excellent ones of many of the extended family members. It appears that the only members of the BRF who missed the State Funeral and Committal Service were the Duchess of Kent and Lady Nicholas Windsor.

I love Royal Musings blog. I think Marlene is an excellent source of things royal. There have been questions elsewhere as to whether anyone was present from the Bowes Lyon family or the Lascelles, the family of the last Princess Royal. I think that the relationship with the latter has probably gone since the Queen?s cousins? deaths, but I wouldn?t be surprised if there was a Bowes Lyon at the funeral among the mourners.
@Curryong-I agree that there were likely Bowes-Lyon family members present at both events. The Queen had hosted her maternal relatives at Balmoral this summer, so a connection remains with them. As for the Lascelles family, that relationship has likely dwindled over the years.
Even though the BRF is still officially in mourning, members of the family are out today on engagements and overseas trips. This includes the P&PssoW, EoW, PssR and DoG.

Mystery over delay before RAF jet flew Prince William, Andrew and senior royals to Queen's bedside
The RAF jet which had Prince William, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and his wife Sophie on board had departed for Balmoral at 2:39 p.m. despite being scheduled to depart at 1:30 p.m.
They were sitting on tarmac waiting for Harry, who was busy fighting on the phone with Charles, because he wanted Meghan to go to to HMQEII deathbed.
The Queen has a private collection of jewellery, which is filled with 300 items of jewellery, according to The Times, and includes 98 brooches, 46 necklaces, 34 pairs of earrings, 15 rings, 14 watches, and five pendants.
^Ingrid Seward says the collection has been decided who gets what since many months if not years ago. The Lion share goes to Princess of Wales.

That?s your interpretation of it. We don?t know what the delay was about.

Ingrid Seward is a journalist and writer. She is and wasn?t privy to what the Queen had decided to do with her collection.

Oh well, if it?s in an article in a newspaper then it?s akin to the Tablets of the Old Testament then, lol!
Sounds true to me, why would W, A, E and S sit on a RAF jet, tarmac for 1 hour as was reported by all the media? The flight was to leave as the quote I placed dated Sept. 8 was to leave at 1:30 p.m., they finally departed 2:30 p.m.
Harry as reported missed the flight and had to book a commercial flight, the last one available to Aberdeen.
Ingrid could have just said ''inheritance tax in the UK'', explain it to the public kindergarden language to understand the math.

I think that the relationship with the latter has probably gone since the Queen?s cousins? deaths, but I wouldn?t be surprised if there was a Bowes Lyon at the funeral among the mourners.
Actually there is one cousin still alive. Her youngest Uncle David's son Sir Simon Bowes-Lyon. Unless he died in the past 3 months. He made a statement at the time of the jubilee in June. He is 90.

I am sure there was likely a few Bowes-Lyons in attendance but no one would recognize most. I'd not be surprised if Fiona Burrows perhaps, her mother Elizabeth Anson was the queen's cousin and party planner. Fiona is also a goddaughter of Princess Beatrix.

For nearly everyone (especially royal watchers) this past month has been a huge change. I?ll bet you?re exhausted, as you say. However, every now and then I think of the Queen, no pain in her knees, no mobility issues, reunited with her beloved Philip and her parents and sister up in heaven. Diana might be with them. They might all look down occasionally to view what?s going on.

The Bearer Party will be returning to active duty in Iraq. Apparently they had very little time to rehearse and prep for this duty.
Grenadier Guards who held Queen's coffin aloft now in heat of Iraq facing ISIS | UK | News | Express.co.uk (https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1673913/Grenadier-Guards-queen-funeral-ISIS)
Quote12 Grenadiers were selected for the honour of bearing the Queen?s body, of which eight were chosen.
Those chosen did not have much notice, according to reports, and barely had six hours upon landing in Britain to get haircuts before embarking on a hectic set of rehearsals.
Though their movements were directed from behind by Second Lieutenant Freddie Hobbs, it was Company Sergeant Major Dean Jones, a veteran of 19 years with two tours of
Afghanistan and two in Iraq under his belt, who "whipped them together", said one senior soldier attached to the ceremony.
"Jones was influential in whipping them together. He is a modest yet brilliant man," said the source.
I was so impressed in fact awed by these Grenadiers Guards. And to read they only had a very short time period to do the job that was required of them and they did it to perfection. How they carried HM in that steel coffin up those steps to the Abbey was a miracle to me. And the regal items on her coffin no less stayed in place even as they were secured.....amazing feat by these brave young men. I had to research them to understand why they were chosen and came away knowing that the monarch was surely safe in their hands and that their families must be so proud of them and now they are back on regular duty in Iraq teaching young men to defend their country. They deserve medals for this and hopefully that will happen.

The individual who rushed the Queen?s coffin is imo clearly unstable due to mental illness. Whether he has Covid now or not. I believe he will continue to be kept in a mental health facility following his trial in order to receive the treatment he needs under supervision.

On the day of Queen Elizabeth?s death she apparently signed through two pieces of legislation for the Welsh Assembly that have only recently been gazetted. So (unless this is post-dated, a possibility) the Queen was busy with her red boxes on the day she died. It must have been quite early in the morning that her health took a turn for the worse as first Charles rushed up from Birkhall, warned by Anne, and later that morning (about 11am from memory) PM Liz Truss was passed a note on the situation while she was in the Commons.

She signed off in the morning, died in the afternoon.
Yes, but I?m sure it wasn?t quite as sudden as that. There were pieces of paper going around the Commons in the late morning. Charles was at Balmoral with Anne, not at home at Birkhall. I?m willing to visualise the Queen having a nice leisurely breakfast and settling down to her red boxes at about ten am, then becoming ill some time after that.
However, it?s a bit beyond belief that she worked all morning and then suddenly collapsed after having lunch, and took to her bed and died a couple of hours later, especially when we know that by about 11 am rumours about her state of health had begun to circulate in the Commons.
If you read between the lines of what Princess Anne said about being ?privileged to share the Queen?s last hours? you get a picture of someone fading away gradually in bed, not feeling fine all morning and then just collapsing after the lunchtime salmon was being served, especially as her English based sons and grandson William were alerted shortly after lunchtime that death might not be too far off. Sometimes people pass peacefully after hours of being comatose.
I dont remember exactly but I thought that the note passed to Liz Truss was in the early afternoon. I watched some stuff on the TV and it was clear that the queen was ill and in danger.
I thought that Charles was in his home,. and was preparing for an interview with one of the Bush family. and that was round late morning, Then he got a phone call and had to cancel the interview and rush off to Balmoral?
I'd say the queen was doing her boxes, signed a couple of papers in the morning and hten felt tired and took to her bed.. and her doctor did not expect her to recover.
This is what the Fail has to say about the timeline.
The REAL story of how Liz Truss was told the news that shook the world | Daily Mail Online (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11200321/The-REAL-story-Liz-Truss-told-news-shook-world.html)
?When Liz Truss rose to her feet to address the Commons at 11.40am on Thursday, she had known for more than two hours that the Queen was unlikely to survive the day.
The new Prime Minister had been thrashing out the final details of her ?150 billion energy bailout with close aides when she was told by Cabinet Secretary Simon Case that the monarch was gravely ill and it was a ?matter of hours, not days?.?
I distinctly remember reports of pieces of paper being passed around by MPs in the late morning, that is before noon, with news of the Queen?s state of health. Yes, Charles did have to rush off from a Laura Bush interview but that wasn?t the afternoon, and doesn?t mean that the Queen worked all morning and then just became ill in the afternoon, choosing to die after a couple of hours.
An announcement from BP, showing that the Queen did not work through the morning.
At 12:34 p.m. London time, the Twitter account of Britain?s royal family shared a statement from Buckingham Palace. It was 29 words long: ?Following further evaluation this morning, The Queen?s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty?s health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision.?
A dying person can sign off, then minutes or hours die.
My Dad.
I thought that it was late morning when Charles got a call to summon him to his mother and had to abandon his interview. Clearly the queen did do a little work that morning, and she must have declined very fast if her doctors thought that her family must be summoned, and the PM advised, before lunchtime. Im glad that she was well enough to work even for a short time because Im sure that she would like it that way, to do her job as best she could, to the very end.
Just for an example sake, not 'all' old people are 'completely' invalidated, especially the 'brain', so he (My dad) wasn't at his desk, he was in his death bed, lucid, knowing, he asked me to prepare his last social security benefits payment (in his country of origin) which in the past 3 years was given by his authority/notary in favor to his sister, who lives there! So, the document existed, print with the actual date, sign off. Take to the embassy, which does everything else.
He died that date hours later, the TIME of death signed off by the attending physician (certificate of death) makes the previous signed off document valid as witness, other than I had also the head of the local church, priest, the last rites. This request by my father who 'knew' he was going going gone.
The only thing I can say about HMQEII is IF and only IF there were no witnesses to have conspiracy theories or doubts, BUT stats usually say old people who die lonely/alone are 1. homeless 2. old folk with no ''assistance'', usually belonging to lower class with no family member (s) living with the person.
The rich have multiple choices...from 12x12 nurses or send to a retirement home. Dad had the first, very expensive. Mom IS having since a year ago the first too.
Edit to Add: One makes several checks in favor of i.e. the Church, the Priest stays long hours, for the reason of seeing death multiple times, he also knew by signaling me that yes he's leaving today to heaven. The physician, usually rich families or upper middle class HAVE a family physician who will also stay for as long needed, it is not a 'touch and go' situation, perhaps keeping the physician interests happy too! Just saying! That is life. The Church is trained, the telephone assistant asked Me 'who should I announce', once I said WHO I was, she came back and said the ''head'' of the church is going. The old ladies who pray daily at the Church, friends of my Mom told me that the 'regular' goers who ''help'' the church have this benefit, everyone else the Junior Priest.
My last post about this issue and related to a 101 for those who have old folk.
Dad died at 95, since 92 he decided on 1 person for the ''intimate family only' admin work, me, it's a first, one goes around, visiting embassy, finding out the 'know hows' etc. So for example at 92 the embassy told me: 1 lump sum authorization from 65 years old to 92 in favor of dad's sister. Cost USD 150. Every other social security benefit authorization, do it every 4 months from the past, IOW i.e. Jan Feb March and April, bring the authorization 1st May, USD 150. So basically 4 times a year I paid USD 150 for the embassy to process the document, they did everything for that modicum sum..they notarize it with red ribbon, red seal, blue stamp, send it to my dad's country of origin, to the SS offices, notify my aunt so she can go and cash in, my aunt would text me with :cloud9: emojis, dad happy charity, aunt happy giving it away to the poor. Nobody in my family argued this, no drama, no issues, it's a just in case, because not all families are peace and love. Then I did with the lawyers the messenger girl stuff so they won't charge transportation here and there to several gov offices, photocopies, etc etc etc. Lawyers charge every single bit, if the family can do some or all of the bits, better. I learned a lot, the latter (tax thing) is a nightmare! :hehe:
I FEEL Princess Anne has a lot to do with the intimate family only stuff at that high level. Just a feeling, discuss if you wish. I'm out and over.

She signed off in the morning, died in the afternoon.
After posting the Gazetted info yesterday I was intrigued by the Queen working on her red boxes on the last morning of her life. I was not questioning whether she really had done so or not. I knew that the PM and most of Parliament knew by late morning that there were only hours to go, and I believe that she was very ill and in bed by before lunch. Regardless of your dad, and I?m glad that he was compos mentis enough to issue instructions to you re family matters, that does not mean that all elderly people are similar to him when they pass.
It?s clear from the BP despatch that the doctors on hand were keeping a very close watch on the Queen from the morning. Anne and the Queen?s PS probably saw that she was failing by about 11am and called in her medical staff. Very soon afterwards Charles, then the PM etc were informed. As the Queen did not die until after 3pm in the afternoon that certainly, to me, signals that it became a fading away procedure with Anne and Charles present for much of the time.
That is very different from a bald ?She signed off in the morning, died in the afternoon.?
I do not understand what is the issue then.

Sorry but you made it seem by your statement that it was all perfectly simple ie the Queen kept at her desk signing off in the morning as usual and then just died in the afternoon. It?s pretty clear in fact that what happened was a slow deterioration in her condition from quite early on with doctors keeping a very close eye on the Queen from at least 9:30am, or there wouldn?t have been all that flurry in Westminster well before noon.
I misunderstood :sarcastic:
I thought some were thinking it to be unusual. It is not.
Quotesenior minister has been accused of sending threatening and abusive messages to a colleague after he failed to receive an invitation to Queen Elizabeth II?s state funeral.
Sir Gavin Williamson, minister for the Cabinet Office, is being investigated over the text messages which were sent to Wendy Morton who served as Chief Whip under Liz Truss.
Messages published in The Times following an investigation by Tortoise appear to show Sir Gavin telling the Chief Whip that ?there is a price for everything?.
Mrs Morton is understood to have made a formal complaint, with The Times reporting that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak knew of the allegations before he went on to appoint him to a ministerial position.
The text messages show that Sir Gavin, who once himself served as Chief Whip, was told that places to attend the funeral were ?extremely limited.?
Sir Gavin replied, saying: ?Well let?s see how many more times you f*** us over. There is a price for everything.?
Responding to the allegations on Friday evening, Sir Gavin said: ?I of course regret getting frustrated about the way colleagues and I felt we were being treated. I?m happy to speak with Wendy, and I hope to work positively with her in the future as I have in the past.?
Prior to being appointed as a minister by Rishi Sunak, Sir Gavin was sacked from government on two occasions.
Theresa May forced him to step down as Defence Secretary following national security concerns surrounding a leak, and Boris Johnson sacked him as Education Secretary following controversy over examination results.

Too much of that sort of bullying and throwing one?s weight around within the Tory Party in the past from these middle aged old boy networks. Imagine getting into that sort of a temper over not being invited to a funeral, especially when it was made clear that seating would be limited!
We here in the states even had that, Trump threw a fit because it was reported he did not also get an invite to HM's funeral and Biden did......go figure, egos out of control as usual with these ole idiotic men, nothing new just the same ole same ole as usual with them.
They all need to be *Fired* from any political office they hold to never be returned again.
what evidence is there that Trump threw a fit? IM not saying it did not happen, but I'd be interested to know what the source is for this.
When voting comes to question, I'm center right or center left with 'candidates'. After clearing that up, if one decides to be unbiased, Trump wasn't orange with anger or any similar synonym because he wasn't invited.

When the Queen passed away, all the mentioned made wonderful statements about her. Trump was pre/post ranting about his issues with the FBI. Extreme left Democractic media sites were creating he is angry, mad for an 'uninvite'' with no evidence.
sorry not clear what you are saying? was he ranting about not being invited to the Queen's funeral or not?
Its funny how one forgets things, but although i had the TV on during the day the queen died ( I dont usually as Im not all that well and try to keep my mind occupied iwht relatively cheerful topics), but I had thought that I saw a note being passed ot LIz Truss in parliament in the early afternoon.. though I suppose that may not have been the first note she got abt the queen. ALso I thought that Charles had been not at Birkhall but in Edinburgh, doing this interview wiht Laura Bush, and around late morning, 11.30 or 12 he had been called away to take an urgent phone call and then, around lunchtime had flown back to Balmoral to his mother's deathbed.

It was unveiled by King Charles III, who was in York with Queen Camilla.
The man who attempted to rush the late QEII's coffin is still too ill to attend court.

QuoteA man charged with breach of the peace after Prince Andrew was allegedly heckled as he walked behind the Queen?s coffin will not face court, prosecutors have said.
The 22-year-old was arrested after the incident, which occurred as The Duke of York walked in the procession as it made its way from the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh to St Giles? Cathedral on September 12.
The Crown Office said the case has been dealt with ?by way of an offer of an alternative to prosecution?.
A spokesman said: ?The procurator fiscal received a report concerning a 22-year-old male in connection with an alleged incident on September 12, 2022.
?After full and careful consideration of all facts and circumstances, the case was dealt with by way of an offer of an alternative to prosecution.?
Alternatives to prosecution can include warnings, work orders, fines and compensation orders, however the Crown Office said it could not say what alternative was used in this case.
Prosecutors also said no action will be taken at this time against a woman who held an anti-monarchy sign ahead of the accession proclamation of King Charles III in Edinburgh.
The 22-year-old was arrested outside St Giles? Cathedral on September 11.
The Crown Office said: ?The procurator fiscal received a report relating to a 22-year-old female and an incident said to have occurred on September 11, 2022.
?After careful consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, including the available admissible evidence, the procurator fiscal decided that there should be no proceedings taken at this time.
?The Crown reserves the right to proceed in the future if it is appropriate and in the public interest to do so.?

A charge of Treason followed by a proceedings in the High Court of Edinburgh, judge in scarlet robes and wig, etc, barristers rushing about? The bloke was charged with a breach of the peace, not high treason. A magistrate court deals with those sort of petty offences, usually with a fine or telling off. A magistrate?s court is the lowest of all the courts in the UK. Sometimes these tabloid headlines just make me giggle!

Hope this is the correct thread. Below are the rules and regulations in Scotland for attending physicians per the ?cause of death? provision on the death certificates of their patients, whether at home or in hospital or elsewhere. It is strict, as it should be. If a patient dies of a heart attack or stroke or asthmatic attack then that is what is put on the certificate. If death comes from complications of a long standing disease or condition, it gets stated on the death certificate by the chief attending physician.

The headline (s) is an exaggeration to the actual state.

'It has exposed some areas of bare stone that will blend in with the surrounding areas over time. This does not present a structural risk.'
Delaminations means the colouring has become different to the stone around it, though the spokesperson said the damage is unlikely to become permanent.

This is the perfect thread to discuss the late Queen's death certificate. :thumbsup:
Is this about this silly thing about the queen having cancer, which is probably an idea of Lady CC
@Ambel2-It's been reported that Prince Phillip's long time friend and writer Giles Brandreth has claimed that the late QEII possibly had a form of bone marrow cancer (multiple myeloma) in the last couple of years. According to the Mayo Clinic symptoms include bone pain, nausea, constipation, fatigue, weakness or numbness in the legs. The symptoms seem to be in line with the Queen's mobility issues and fatigue that she was experiencing.
While we aren't likely to receive official word on this news, I could see why this would have been a possibility especially at her advanced age.

Lady Susan Hussey and her Lady in Waiting companions are all in their late 70s, 80s and 90s. My guess is that they will stay on for another year or so to get Camilla?s Companions (what a ridiculous title as they are L-I-W in all but name but Companions so much more modern, less elitist) are au fait with the job they?re to do and then will quietly retire.
QuoteWhen a piece of music was premiered in front of a global audience at Queen Elizabeth II's funeral, there was one television viewer who surprisingly had also never heard it sung before - its composer, Sir James MacMillan.
His wife had recently broken her foot - and although Sir James had been invited to Westminster Abbey for the funeral, he had stayed at home in Scotland to help her.
Sir James had not even heard a rehearsal of the piece, which he had written in secret, and until the night before the funeral was not completely sure it would be performed.
So the first time he heard his choral piece was when it was sung in front of the Royal Family and world leaders crammed into the abbey.
"I watched it with my wife on the television," the 63-year-old told BBC News. "It was a pinch-me moment really." He remained "astonished" and very proud to have become part of such a historic moment.
It was also a glimpse into the extent of long-term planning for the funeral.
"I was approached by the abbey in deep secrecy in 2011," Sir James said.
"It was for the commendation part of the funeral service and I was asked to keep very quiet about it and not tell anybody.
"It was the text 'Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?', which I was told was one of the Queen's favourite passages from scripture and that strangely hadn't been set a lot to music."
A recording of the piece was released on Friday.
Sir James said he had written the choral piece quickly, despite being well aware of the huge responsibility.
It had needed to be music for an intense personal and national event, a key spiritual moment in the funeral, not just "entertainment", he said. And when it was finished, the music went to Westminster Abbey, where it stayed out of sight.
"They didn't want any indication of these plans coming out," Sir James said.
When news of the Queen's death broke, he realised his music, written more than a decade earlier, could now be used.
"I got the score out and looked at it again to remind myself of what the music would sound like," Sir James said. "It's always different when you play it on the piano - but that's what composing is, you've got to imagine sounds that are not in the room with you."
With the funeral preparations under way, Sir James was told his music was being rehearsed in London - but it was not confirmed it would be performed until 22:00 on the night before.
There was also a new piece from master of the Queen's music Judith Weir, who set to music the words of Psalm 42, "Like as the hart". The composer, now master of the King's music, declined to comment on her commission.
'Deep faith'
In the solemn grandeur of the state funeral, Sir James heard voices singing his piece for the very first time. The choristers performed his elegiac anthem on the most public stage imaginable.
Sir James said he still did not know how much the Queen had been involved in choosing the music for her funeral. He had met her on a number of occasions and in 2015 had been knighted in her birthday honours.
King Charles III had always been supportive of his music, Sir James said. But he believes the Queen liked the chosen Bible text, because of its optimism.
"There's a sense of hope for the future," Sir James said, with the words assuming death was not the end and there was a heaven.
They begin: "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come."
"The words pointed to her deep faith, she was a persuasive and quiet advocate of the Christian perspective, communicating in a way that many clergy can't manage," Sir James said.
And he rejected suggestions the text "Who shall separate us... ?" contained a coded message about the Scottish independent debate, saying: "There's not a lot in St Paul's letter to the Romans that's about Scottish constitutional reform."
Greater reach
Sir James is the only living composer whose music was played at both the funeral and the thanksgiving service for the Queen at St Giles's Cathedral in Edinburgh.
His choral music is a blend of ancient and modern, spiritual and contemplative, often with a Scottish inflection - a mix that might well have appealed to the Queen, who he said seemed to combine "the deep past and the modern".
Sir James was already recognised as a leading modern composer but the spotlight of the Queen's funeral has brought him an even greater reach.
"I'm beginning to hear about performances of the piece all over the world," he said.
"It's one the most significant things that has ever happened to me."

so why did people send coupons to the late queen for her wedding gown?
Quote from: Amabel2 on March 26, 2023, 04:21:36 PM
so why did people send coupons to the late queen for her wedding gown?
Because in 1947 clothing in Britain was still on rations as was petrol and various kinds of food. All of it did gradually come off ration but very slowly in some cases. I am old enough to remember sweets, lollies, chocolate and some meats still being rationed when I was a small child and my mother having a ration book for them. Clothing came off rationing in 1949 .
The Queen didn?t really need huge amounts of coupons as the royal family had links to many organisations and relatives abroad that would help if needs be but people wanted to contribute from their own ration books (and Norman Hartnell the fashion designer was on a budget and had to hunt out certain things from abroad.) That is very different from the way things were in 2022 when Queen Elizabeth died.

Well, People do foolish things all the time, even nowadays! And in those days just after the war, many British people were ultra-patriotic and I suppose felt very close to their King and his family.
well that is my point. Its no more foolish to send money to the RF now than it was to send coupons to the late queen. Or rahter its very foolish in each case.

^Totally my opinion, and maybe irrelevant considering I?m not a citizen of the UK, but?I think she was worth it.
Speaking as a fellow non-citizen of the UK, I agree that the funeral costs were worth it. Especially as the lying-in-state and various services permitted the people of the UK to bid her farewell.
^Yep. And for someone who was the epitome of service for 70 plus years? Yeah, I?d say compared to other costs that government accrues and incurs, good bang for your buck on that one.

^Yep. And for someone who was the epitome of service for 70 plus years? Yeah, I?d say compared to other costs that government accrues and incurs, good bang for your buck on that one.
On the one hand those sort of expenses are expected when a monarch, especially one who reigned for decades, and died in another part of the UK, is to be expected. I don?t begrudge it at all. However, as an Aussie I only contribute to the cost of royals when they tour here, through my and my husband?s taxes.
On the other hand that is an extremely large sum of money for the taxpayer to shoulder, and remember, the costs of the Coronation are to come. That will also run into many millions, and all in a twelve month period, indeed a ten month period. For those Britons who don?t particularly admire the RF or are apathetic about them, and who are struggling with housing and cost of living expenses, the cost may well cause more resentment.
^Then they can join any movement that will abolish the monarchy and pay for the lying in state of any elected official they wish to place in that position.
It is a free country, after all. But based on any poll I?ve seen, I don?t think the majority of the English wish to abolish the monarchy. And their feelings about Elizabeth don?t really seem to show that they begrudge costs for her funeral.
But something deep down tells me that this won?t really affect much of anything one way or another. The people who dislike the monarchy will continue to dislike it, those who support it will continue to support it, and the majority won?t give two hoots about it either way.
I think if given the option of cutting government spending, most would have other things to cut in mind before funeral for the late Queen hits the list.
And an excellent way of comparing would be to note the amount of money that shops, restaurants, hotels, and UK-based television and media companies made over that time when people were in town for the funeral. Similar to the coronation.
Shops, restaurants etc in certain parts of London and, at a stretch, Windsor, might have benefited from visitor numbers, though I actually doubt the notion that millions of tourists rushed to those two locales to see the Queen?s funeral when they could watch it comfortably on TV at home.
However, what few non residents really take into account is ?London is not the UK?. How exactly did residents in towns and cities all over England and Wales benefit from visitors sleeping in a hotel in Knightsbridge or Windsor, and having lunches and dinner in the West End or central London? Residents in Newcastle, Carlisle, Exeter, Norwich, Birmingham, Liverpool, Hartlepool and Dover, and thousands of other cities and towns would just like to know.
^I didn?t realize that economic impact had to be felt by every individual in a country for it to have been real. But since we?re going by individuals, how many pounds did each individual pay for this funeral? It was always my absolute favorite thing to have some tax payer proudly tell me they ?paid for my salary? when I worked in the public sector. Then I?d ponder how much this particular individual actually contributed to it?
I don?t know whether the monarchy will survive Charles, but I don?t think I?m going on a limb by saying the late Queen?s funeral wouldn?t be one of the things they?d hold against him if they did rid themselves of him. I think the last I checked, her approval numbers are still in the 80s? Pretty good for a dead woman, I?d say.
I would just say in my own defence here that one of the things that people who live away from London and the Home Counties in general do roll their eyes a bit about is when London-based media and personalities burble on about what a great benefit to ?the country? (Britain) this and that is, in a national sense, when they are in fact talking about the capital city and its environs, not Yorkshire or Somerset, or East Anglia or anywhere else. There are different feelings about the RF in fact, the further north you go, and over the border into Scotland. The people there are, shall we say, less effusive.
And they?re welcome to do something about it at any moment. Yet?they didn?t during the Queen?s reign. Scotland could also have left the UK altogether. Most didn?t want that either.
Out of all the members of the family, the Queen has always had the majority of the public?s support. Deserved? I would say do; others would disagree. But the truth is, it doesn?t really matter whether it was deserved or not, it was and remains true.
I?d wager there were more people upset that Charles didn?t pay for his own coronation than would begrudge the Queen a state funeral or more that would want Andrew tossed out on his behind or literally anything else that could be taken from the royal coffers than anger at the Queen?s funeral. I think even the staunchest Republicans could see that attacks on her aren?t the winning strategy.

I stated in my original post above that I didn?t and don?t begrudge the cost of the Queen?s funeral at all. However, the fact that Britons dont rush off to man the barricades and join Republic when enormous costs like this are revealed doesn?t mean that these expenses are universally applauded and approved of by people in Britain.
Indeed there was a bit of a backlash on the day of the Queen?s funeral as seen in the article below. And I will be interested in the reaction to the costs of King Charles?s Coronation when they are revealed in a few months.
Backlash as food banks announce they'll close for Queen's funeral (https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/reports/a41207371/food-banks-hospitals-close-queen-funeral/)
I don?t think anything in this world is universally applauded. You could probably ask if curing cancer is a good idea and receive a small percentage of the population that disagree. I think overwhelmingly, there was an outpouring of gratitude for her service when the Queen died. It?s clear there are people in Britain and around the realm that do not want a monarchy and resent its cost. However, when asked individually about the Queen herself, which is what this specific topic is about, that resentment is not as high. Never was and wasn?t there when she died.
was there a lot of negative protest about the cost of Diana's funeral?
^I can?t say, but I think Chris Hitchens hit the nail on the head on that one lol common sense would say maybe because there?s always someone, but I doubt they would be vocal about it after the hysteria that gripped the country after her death.
No great hysteria after Elizabeth died, but she was kind of like an institution onto herself. I don?t think the majority of Britain remembered a time when she wasn?t around. There was Republican sentiment during her reign, but I think it?s telling that they noted a rise in interest in the group *after* Elizabeth?s death. There was support for her. What happens now, is anybody?s guess, but I don?t think costs for her funeral is what sends people over the edge.
And if I were advising Republicans on their public campaign, I would say don?t choose Elizabeth as the target. That?s a nonstarter.
I don?t think republicans ever did make a target of the elderly Elizabeth II as a focus for the Republican movement, to my knowledge anyway, not in Aus nor in Britain. On the contrary they were waiting for the inevitable end of her long reign when Charles (who does not command half the respect his elderly mother had in the last two decades of her reign) would accede and when they sensed that the winds of change may begin to blow, especially among the young.
I will say this, though. Non English people may not realise it, not having lived in the UK, but there were points in the late Queen?s reign when people were not terribly enthused about her.
I grew up in the very deferential Britain of the 1950s when all the RF were supposed to be absolutely perfect in every way as far as the general population was concerned. Yet, Elizabeth was even then not considered inviolate. There was always criticism among some of the working classes towards the Royal Family?s privileged lifestyle. Jacqueline Bouvier (Kennedy) came over as a young journalist for the Coronation and was astonished by the dislike she found among people in the East End of London towards the young Queen and her family.
In the early 1960s Queen Elizabeth was criticised by the then Lord Altringham for her high pitched schoolgirl like voice over-careful advisers and seeming priggish attitudes. It caused a furore at the time, but she must have taken note. Her voice changed and her speeches became a bit more engaging.
In the 1960s she caused criticism in some circles by her dowdiness, insularity, the feeling that her Court and advisers were deeply out of touch with modern day Britain. Therefore in reaction the Queen and her advisers made the ill advised Royal Family doco that only once saw the light of day on British TV (I happen to have viewed it) and then was tucked away, never to be seen again for ever more.
The nadir in the latter part of her reign happened after Diana died. People became very annoyed, even angry, about the Queen and her family?s attitude to Diana?s death. Elizabeth?s advisers read the room, she unbent, made a nice speech about Diana (though what she really thought about her is unlikely to be the same as what she said in her speech to the nation) and things settled down once more.
So in my long life I have seen many attitudes change. Towards authority figures of all sorts, police, judiciary, aristocracy whom people used to admire and yes, including the BRF, and I have to say that speaking now in 2023 history is not going to reverse itself and go back to attitudes circa 1956, especially among young British people. So Charles is going to have to move very carefully. The tide of history is against monarchies of all sorts and mere gestures are unlikely to make much difference.

was there a lot of negative protest about the cost of Diana's funeral?
The Spencers wanted a private funeral for Diana. They were going to bury her at Altringham. It was the BP advisers that decided that the RF should be more involved. I don?t believe the Queen was eager but for once I think she was over ruled by the men in grey.
Palace denies argument over Diana's funeral ? The Irish Times (https://www.irishtimes.com/news/palace-denies-argument-over-diana-s-funeral-1.104515)
Nearly 40 per cent of British people feel less favourable to the royal family since the death of Diana, according to a poll in today's Sun.
Some 39 per cent have a less favourable impression, 15 per cent more favourable and 43 per cent stayed the same, according to a MORI survey. However, 73 per cent said Britain should remain a monarchy.
The queen's broadcast and lowering of the flag for Diana were too late to avoid damage to the family, according to 44 per cent, while 42 per said it was timely and helped improve the royal image.
A massive 77 per cent agreed strongly that Earl Spencer's tribute had reflected the mood of the nation.
How Lord Altringham changed the monarchy forever.
How Lord Altrincham Changed the Monarchy Forever (https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/lord-altrincham-changed-monarchy-forever-161600547.html#:~:text=He%20argued%20that%20she%20and),%22a%20priggish%20school%20girl.%22
Yes, exactly, *points* in her extensively long reign. And she adjusted as any good monarch would and regained public opinion in her favor. This topic is about her funeral, which is the end of her life. At the end of her life, she was more popular than any politician or member of the family. I don?t think the majority of the country objected or currently objects to the costs of her funeral, but if they do, I would like to see those numbers.
?Cruel? Prince Harry Betrayed Dying Queen Elizabeth, Friend Says (https://www.thedailybeast.com/cruel-prince-harry-betrayed-dying-queen-elizabeth-friend-says)
This story tells more of the Queen's bone cancer and couldn't see, hear well since the Jubilee weekend than the cruel betrayal of Harry and Meghan.
I?ve no wish to discuss that individual or his actions, so I won?t go into the friend?s comments, but I feel so sad for her alone in her final days, not being able to see well and not moving around much. Reaching old age can be a privilege, but boy is it tough.
^
This should of been a loving time to show HM how much she was cherished with her family and it wasn't all because of the drama and the lies told by Harry/Meghan, they made this time about them and what they wanted. Growing old if we are lucky to do that is a tough and at times hard when the body just starts slowing down, we learn to live a different way of life.
Seeing HM im so many pictures showed me she was dying before our eyes very slowly and in pain, I wonder why more family was not around the last few weeks of her life, at least Anne and Charles were there at the end.
The Grenadier guardsmen who were the pall bearers throughout the ceremonies related to the Queen's funeral were seated in the Royal Box at Wimbledon and were applauded by the spectators. All eight who carried her coffin received the Royal Victorian Order from King Charles III in March 2023.

Quoten March 2023, eight pallbearers who carried the Queen's coffin were awarded the silver Royal Victorian Medal in recognition of the important role they played at her funeral.
The soldiers were named as recipients of honours under the Royal Victorian Order (RVO) in recognition of their service to the late Queen, as part of a special set of Demise awards.
Awards under the RVO are in the King's gift and are bestowed independently of Downing Street to people who have served the monarch or the royal family in a personal way.
I think that these guardsmen did a fabulous job at the late Queen?s funeral (not that I think she was heavy to carry, unlike Queen Victoria. So iMO they were given a just reward. Hope they enjoyed themselves at Wimbledon.

?Appears? is the operative word. An unnamed Palace aide is hardly likely to say anything different in a book written by a convinced monarchist like Hardman. Harry stated that he phoned the late Queen about the plans to call the baby Lilibet, and she was OK with it. And in spite of what the British media claimed at the time it was not just her parents and near relatives who called the Queen Lilibet. King JC of Spain stated at one of the Jubilees that he did too, and so did several other royals.
The BBC never backed down on the claim. Even in the face of legal threats by Harry and Meghan. Quietly the legal threats were dropped leading me to believe the story is true. Much like the claims Valentine Low made about Meghan bullying her staff. Mr Low said if I'm lying then sue me.

There is no way on this earth that Queen Elizabeth would have confided in any aides in that way and in those words. ?The only thing I own is my name and they?ve taken it? is not something the Queen would have uttered in a million years, even to someone close like Angela Kelly, her dresser. Royals are not bosom buddies with their staff and there is a reason for it.
And that reason is shown in this book. The Queen is dead and can?t confirm or deny anything. However her aides, the old Palace Guard, obviously don?t mind imparting gossip and untruths to journalists and authors in a way the Palace is fond of doing, through unnamed sources so long as it?s anti Sussex. Leaking comes from every corner of those Royal Households.
It?s quite OK for them to feed the British media with anything that can smear the Sussexes but anything Harry and Meghan say about members of the RF and the men in grey are always 100% lies and ?How dare they..? comes from every direction.
