This country certainly does pageantry superbly. The sight of the State gun carriage being pulled by the Royal Navy, the sight of all the Guardsmen marching by the side of the coffin, the phenomenal pallbearers who carried her so carefully and respectfully and the sight on the whole procession to and from the Abbey makes me proud to be British.
There were so many poignant moments yesterday, as well as the “grandeur.” The lone piper, the removal of the sceptre, orb and crown from the coffin, the King’s expression when the National Anthem was sung, the Queen’s favourite pony and dorgis waiting for her at Windsor Castle … the list goes on.
There will never be another monarch like the Queen, certainly not in my lifetime anyway, but I think Charles will be a good king in a different way, thanks to the guidance he has had over the years from his “dear mama.”
