I didn't know till today that Philip wasn't buried yet. He is waiting for her.

That was the bit that broke me, but I've been a bit on the edge since the pony and the corgis :cry:

I’ve got a crying headache now. I think Kirsty nearly lost it then, too.

The private burial is tonight, yes. George and Charlotte did well too.

I finally went when the coffin starting to lower. And then again with the King during the national anthem.

Yes. Funeral No 3 - I really hope they all get a good rest after this.

Oh Bean, don't! You've set me off again...

Those pallbearers were so young and did so amazingly well. I said to my mum earlier that I was also so impressed with George and Charlotte, they behaved so well.

I really hope all the royals are having a stiff drink and a bite to eat now.

Oh gosh, Kirsty did fabulously well there to hold that together to the end, you could see the tears swimming in her eyes from the Elizabeth I quote.

Kirsty was magnificent in holding herself together there. I’ve switched the tv off now and I’ve got music blaring.

I just saw at the bottom of the bbc news that the King is hosting a reception for world leaders now ! 😔

Such a long day to keep a public face on. I hope George and Charlotte are able to go ‘off duty’ now.

I thought the Dean of Windsor sounded very sad.

I thought that too, Marth. I bet they're all starving and I wonder if there were snacks in the cars down to Windsor they could discretely have.

I didn't watch the state service but the one at Windsor was lovely. The coffin being lowered and the lone Piper set me off again.
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either, just fuck off and leave me alone.

I have to catch up with the Windsor bits as Rosco made an enormous fuss about wanting a walk. No respect.

It was magnificent. From start to finish. I have the utmost respect for the royal family now.

The corgis broke me; I’d been mostly ok up til then…
