Someone,somewhere said "funerals are not for the deceased but for the relatives" Its about right. An officer and a gentleman- dont always get the two together. Chris S.

Nice weather allowed the funeral to proceed without interference from nature. All those in attendance doing their finest. A moving memorial and sad procession.

An abiding memory of Her Majesty being led out on her own, so very much alone.

Lots of security in Windsor Great Park.

I hate to admit it, but losing Phillip after 70 years of marriage may cause the Queens health to deteriorate quite quickly. My next door neighbour who was an RAF vet lost his wife of 65 years, and it crushed him so much that he died 2 months later in a care home.

I hope it wont end the same way for her, but I can see it being a possibility.

The pictures in the papers today showed the lady as being very alone. I would have thought Charles would be sitting 6' away but the whole pew area was vacant. Thought provoking. Sometimes protocol is served cold.

She wasn't as alone as many of the pics suggest. Seated in the same pew block beside her but socially distanced from her were Andrew, Anne + Husband and Harry. Seating plan shown here: Click

Regardless of the distance, she was and is, very alone.

Not according to my paper WillyH. I count 14 empty seats around her. Sorrow, solitude and dignity. Maybe they were filled later. You did say The Sun didn't you?
