The King. I had a little chuckle to myself as the majority of the congregation scrabbled for the order of service, when they realised verse 2 was being sung. I've never forgotten learning the whole thing for the 50th anniversary of VE Day....

"Wonder how much this is going to cost the taxpayers? "

From Full Fact:

How much will the Queen’s funeral cost?

WHAT WAS CLAIMED

The Queen’s funeral will cost around £8 million.

OUR VERDICT

We’ve not been able to find evidence to support this figure, but royal funerals have cost roughly this much in the past.

I agree. And had the original comment been hugely disrespectful I'd also agree that in calling out a "horrid thought".

Asking how much a massive state funeral on the funeral thread however isn't horrid even if it isn't to your taste.

There's lots said around the cost and some try to add in financial impacts from businesses not trading.

Not the time to be talking pounds and pence really.

Tbh the per capita cost will likely work out, at most, less than a trip to the chippy. Pretty sure that's do'able for anyone and those who couldn't 'put their hand in their pocket' if you want to think of it in real terms, well they're not going to be doing that either way are they? They're receiving supports as we are fortunate in that way to have the system we have (broken or otherwise)

Taxpayers only pay less than a couple of quid each towards the monarchy. Not much to get upset about.

However, you could always get in touch with the Tory government and ask how they are getting away with wasting millions each on year and not generating an income?

70 years on the throne deserves a good send off and my goodness we know how to do it well

"Wonder how much this is going to cost the taxpayers?

Taxpayers only pay less than a couple of quid each towards the monarchy. Not much to get upset about.

However, you could always get in touch with the Tory government and ask how they are getting away with wasting millions each on year and not generating an income?

70 years on the throne deserves a good send off and my goodness we know how to do it well "

Exactly. And the Royals have been known to part fund funerals of their own. I can't see how this would be different

Don't forget the Royals including the Queen pay/paid tax too, Prince Charles chose to pay tax on the Duchy Of Cornwall estates, he doesn't have too...45 million I believe the figure to be, could be wrong there but he does pay tax. Needs to have a word with Sunaks wife and how much she pays to the system

Great show of the Royal family and their support. Those that mention cost of a day that is national mourning, how about how much money the royals make for our country. Many visit our country because they love that we have a royal family. Many of those are attending or watching today, thus making more money for our country. Respect for a funeral whoever it is and that is worldwide.

Irrelevant. You don't go round referring to young children as mad. You don't refer to ANYONE as mad, quite frankly. It's rude at the best of times.

I have 4 kids and I can say that the royal children's behaviour is impeccable by any standard. I don't think any 4year old could be expected to sit like a statue and display adult levels of focus. That would be cruel to expect.

"Wonder how much this is going to cost the taxpayers?

Taxpayers only pay less than a couple of quid each towards the monarchy. Not much to get upset about.

However, you could always get in touch with the Tory government and ask how they are getting away with wasting millions each on year and not generating an income?

70 years on the throne deserves a good send off and my goodness we know how to do it well

Exactly. And the Royals have been known to part fund funerals of their own. I can't see how this would be different

Don't forget the Royals including the Queen pay/paid tax too, Prince Charles chose to pay tax on the Duchy Of Cornwall estates, he doesn't have too...45 million I believe the figure to be, could be wrong there but he does pay tax. Needs to have a word with Sunaks wife and how much she pays to the system

Charles hasn’t paid his inheritance tax.

Blimey, he's been a bit busy if you hadn't already noticed!

Try using that excuse if you didn’t pay yours!

It's not like he is evading paying, King Charles is exempt from paying it, he does choose to pay general tax though as I said above.....

You actually inferred that he was a bit busy at the moment.

Yes I did! He's busy and he is exempt....how about that then "

Jolly well said!

"On a brighter note, at least it's not raining..would've been quite miserable for all those taking part.

Absolutely, very fortunate

Can't decide if the numbers lining the route are less or not. I know they closed it to limit numbers early in the day. Security no doubt. Or perhaps people prefer to see the entire event by tv?

Seems there are more servicewomen/men than crowds

I think the access has been quite strongly controlled "

I'm glad there hasn't been any headline grabbers doing stupid dashes etc

Are you his accountant?

No, are you?

No. But I’m not making claims about what tax he’s paid or hasn’t. "

So nothing to say then.

My understanding is the majority of the crowds are lining the route between Wellington arch and Windsor.

In which case, we should look to the Earl Marshal, the role is held by the Duke of Norfolk and it's hereditary. He's in charge of organising State Funerals, Coronations etc.

"Most people? You are making up what you don’t know and that would make it opinion not fact. "

Not most people, but most people watching -- yes it's an opinion that places logic over emotion.

People are getting very emotional over a woman in a box that most of us never met, who lived on wealth generated by oppression going back over 1000 years.

They are using statements like "that's why this country is better than everywhere else", which is jingoism.

They're also thinking she was here for us, good for us, as if we have some sort of affinity with her and subsequently defending her -- that's bootlicking.

The inability to separate logic from emotion is pretty evident in this.

The only time I felt emotional watching the event is while "The Day Thou Gavest Lord Has Ended" was sung. Why? Because it was sung at my Grandma's funeral, it was one of her favourite hymns and I can't ever hear it without feeling emotional. I have the same reaction listening to "Gabriel's Oboe" and "Nimrod", because of their connection with my Grandad.

If the above is irrational or illogical, I couldn't care less.

Seems like every time an agitator takes a break or gets a ban it creates a vacuum...

Are you here to debate the monarchy?

Because that's fine to a point even if not really a fab "but it's a sex site!!" kind of topic, but that'd be a different thread surely?

"It’s a magnificent spectacle to experience and a huge reminder of how lucky we all are to be part of the United Kingdom.

Our tradition and history is respected throughout the world and in my humble opinion the monarchy are what makes us so unique as a nation!

I think it's an embarrassment -- a show of low-IQ peasantry stuck on their knees, licking the boots of their historical oppressors.

What a ridiculous statement.

It's a perfectly valid statement; most people watching this circus seem to be flag waving jingoists, using emotion rather than logic -- void of the ability to properly understand history or economics."

Gosh if you can't use emotion on the day of a funeral, when can you?

Logic has its place.

Maybe save it for the people who cannot afford to pay their fuel bills, the homeless left behind by a broken system, the countless people struggling for NHS appointments, those whose livelihoods have been decimated by the pandemic and years of Tory mismanagement.

At the very least, save the sentiment for someone who actually cared about you, like your own family or friends.

I enjoyed the bagpipes as she was being taken from the hall to the abbey. I wasn’t going to watch it but decided to. I guess it what you would expect for a royal funeral, very grand and all the military processions. I wonder if a royal can opt for their own funeral wishes or if they have to follow protocol? I always wonder if being born into royalty if any ever feel it a privilege and happy to to their duties or if any feel it a burden. I know Harry stepped down from Royal duties.

I think calling a 4 year old child mad is a ‘hater’ not a person with a relevant opinion.

I also think the talk of money could have been a separate thread. You chose to raise it on this thread. This thread is supposed to be about the procession, the troops, the pomp and ceremony.

I think a bit of both. Certain things have to happen to make it a state funeral, but reportedly the Queen had decided on the hymns and other features, such as the lone piper at the end. The Archbishop of Canterbury said she didn't want "a long, boring service". Probably similar to many older people - my Grandad left handwritten instructions in an envelope for his funeral, although COVID rules meant we sadly couldn't fulfill them all.

To all the military well done for the parade as well as providing support to the police to not only keep the parade safe but make sure no idiots took it on themselves to use it as a opportunity to make a statement!!

Also thanks to those who went and showed their respect to a lady who gave 70 years of her life to do all the amazing things that helped not only our country but the commonwealth!

To all who wonder about the Money how many tourists come to our country to see the Queen now King and where they live ?

More than paid for the funeral!

"Wonder how much this is going to cost the taxpayers?

From Full Fact:

How much will the Queen’s funeral cost?

WHAT WAS CLAIMED

The Queen’s funeral will cost around £8 million.

OUR VERDICT

We’ve not been able to find evidence to support this figure, but royal funerals have cost roughly this much in the past.You're missing the cost to the economy from all the lost working hours.

"

Could I ask you that when you go to a funeral of family or friends do you get paid for being there?

I made a choice today not to work out of respect not because I was told to through suppression
