The State Funeral of HRH Queen Elizabeth II

Watching St George's Chapel.
Charles will never 'fill the Queen's boots' sadly. His history as Prince precedes him. He is more his father's son than his mother's.
We can but speculate what Charles will be like adjusting to being King and Monarch.
God bless ma'am, rest well, you have more than earned it.

Big boots to fill, indeed.

I wasn't going to watch the funeral but then the missus put it on and the bagpipes were playing which resonates with my Scottish roots.

It was pretty epic.

a reply to: Wide-Eyes

It still is!

St George's Chapel now.

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

though to be fair he is more of this generations feeling trump everything else than his mother..

I hope the weight of what now rests on his shoulders helps him grow from the prince in waiting he was..

I think he could be a good king and hope he doesn't emulate his unlucky namesakes..

a reply to: nickyw

Hope so but his late mother is quite an act to follow.

a reply to: nickyw

Thank goodness. For the lower case "t"!!!

He believes in depopulation and forced veganism.

Let's pray that he remains powerless.

a reply to: Wide-Eyes

Aye that was quite cool.

What used to be considered to be an outlawed tune, played on an outlawed instrument, by dudes wearing outlawed kilts, and at the Queens own funeral.

If that's not progress, im not sure what is.

Jokes aside she loved Scotland, hence her fascination and attendance at Balmoral.

R.I.P Queen Elizabeth.

He does?

a reply to: nickyw

Its hard for leopard to change its spots, especially at his age.
I wouldn't be that surprised if after a period of time he'll feel compelled to try and influence government policy....I hope not.

His namesakes weren't 'unlucky';
Charles I was a pompous, arrogant man who was given every chance. I could go on but today's not the day.
Charles II was very well liked, but many would consider him irresponsible given his rather 'hedonistic' lifestyle.

I'll give Charles a chance, we'll see.

Princess Ann is quite the supporter of Scottish rugby, I believe.

Scotland was the Queen's favourite place.

I can understand why. Scotland was great when I visited. The people were certainly easier to understand.

Ever been to Wales?!!!!

a reply to: VierEyes

That's probably because you visited the posh parts.

a reply to: Wide-Eyes

More Bach, too!

There are posh parts?
