She was never titled “Queen of England”, as there has not been a Queen or King of England for the last 300 years once the two crowns of Scotland & England merged into one.
Who will pay for the lives lost in India and several of the erstwhile commonwealth nations which were looted and impoverished by this cruel monarchy and its loot army. They dont deserve any great respect than to a common citizen. Unfortunately Guardian like media house has become Tabloid or even worse than The Sun when it comes to the palace and queen. Shameless are the supine journalists.
there was just the 2 verses sung here, but there is acculy 3 verses to the national antham, but they are rarely played ,or sung, which i think all 3 should be, esp for state funerals etc
@@michaelgoulding6609 the second verse is somewhat… strange. But i agree, all verses should be sung and the buildup to the final verse is incredible when they are all together.
@@Brandon_501 still better than the french version. Blood, war... or the spanish having no text at all :) This melody was once also the melody for our swiss anthem (and for some other countries as far as I remember)
I'm not ashamed to say it, cried my eyes out..... Was just so moving and beautiful The choreography, tradition etc. No one does a funeral better than the British.
My deepest condolences from Germany. I admired the Queen so much for her selfless service for the Commonwealth. She was one of a kind and I'm so proud to lived under her reign. Rest in Peace, Your Majesty. Long live the King!
@@scholaroftheworldalternatehist You talked as if the Queen is enjoying life doing nothing with that hundred of millions of dollars. Well those money are used to make state visits making relationship with other countries,funding charities,running the historical institutions and renovating if needed, organising state Ceremonial services,etc which are then broadcasted around the world to hundreds of millions of people earning moneys and boosting the country's tourism with it,generating billions of dollars every year. So the taxpayer money going to the RF indirectly benefitted the British people only. Afterall the monarch is the head of the state and the symbol of Unity and Stability of the United Kingdom of Britain and N.Ireland! Is there any problem of ur 1.35€ tax per year going to the RF who are the symbol of ur British identity,culture and continuing traditions,the symbol of Unity of the Realms,etc? The Queen serves the British people and the realms all her life bound by duty.
The brass coming in strong and majestic at the middle of the second verse. The look of deep sadness/loss on His Majesty's face. No matter how you may feel about his sins of the past with Diana, we are looking at an elderly man who just lost his mother. For the first time in his life, he is listening to this song being sung to him. For that, you can't help but wish him the deepest condolences and support.
Y'all saying "She wasn't the Queen of England, She was The Queen" She was The Woman. She inspired millions with her acts everyday, and I think that we can all agree She is the model for a perfect Woman in modern society. Humble, helpful, giving, loyal, POWERFUL.

I ain't a person for watching royals but I watched this it was absolutely perfect funeral such amazing effort and public's reaction is out of this world she would have been very happy
The funeral Service was so beautiful and perfection she would have been so happy ☺️💗😎😱 she will always be in my heart also, hope and love to the Royal family.♥️♥️♥️💗💗😱
@@nektekket852 that’s why I wrote practically. 🤷♂️ But if your father’s original family name is von Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha, and your husband’s original surname is von Schleswig-Holsten-Sonderburg-Gluecksburg, that gives a strong german flavour to the story.
@@akosbiro9144 not practically either, she wasn't German plain and simple. If I'm quarter Jamaican but born in England that doesn't make me practically Jamaican, it makes me practically English.
House of Windsor = House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (renamed to Windsor by King George V to settle down anti-German sentiments during that time); hence Queen Elizabeth came from a long line of German heritage

Thanks!
Amazing how she isn't just "Queen of England" or "Queen of the UK" or "Queen Elizabeth" - she is just... The Queen. Rest in peace, your majesty🌹
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
She is referred to as all of those names outside of the English speaking world
She was never titled “Queen of England”, as there has not been a Queen or King of England for the last 300 years once the two crowns of Scotland & England merged into one.
There are sayings like "not even the Queen of England . . ."
Thats how much she is famous.
Who will pay for the lives lost in India and several of the erstwhile commonwealth nations which were looted and impoverished by this cruel monarchy and its loot army.

I got goosebumps when the brass started for the second verse. Absolutely superb for Elizabeth the Great.
Listen to the Dutch Anthem at the Kings coronation. .
there was just the 2 verses sung here, but there is acculy 3 verses to the national antham, but they are rarely played ,or sung, which i think all 3 should be, esp for state funerals etc

She really deserved such a funeral! We all going to miss her. She is the legend!
I'm not ashamed to say it, cried my eyes out.....
Was just so moving and beautiful
The choreography, tradition etc. No one does a funeral better than the British.
We don`t know. Most european dynasties had these traditions, until ww1 and ww2. We germans lost all of these traditions thanks to the world wars
@Gondo Lin now you know...
@@gondolin1910 you only have yourselves to blame for this.
@@gondolin1910 are we meant to sympathise with you?
@@happychappy27 did this guy do anything? On the same token.. you are a monster that should pay half the world back for the British empire.
My mind still defaults to "the Queen" when I hear the song. RIP Your Majesty and thank you for your service from the heartland of America.
for sure... probably will for a long time to come too.
It will that's all we've ever known our queen it's a big chance from queen to king
My deepest condolences from Germany. I admired the Queen so much for her selfless service for the Commonwealth. She was one of a kind and I'm so proud to lived under her reign.
Rest in Peace, Your Majesty.
Long live the King!
Thank you Germany. ❤️
well she and her the rest of family came from German Ancestry
"SelflesS" suggests some sort of sacrifice. Living large on hundreds of millions of dollars per year is not selfless
@@bobbyhill5067 Well isn't the English aka Anglo-Saxon Germanic too or aka from German ancestry?
@@scholaroftheworldalternatehist You talked as if the Queen is enjoying life doing nothing with that hundred of millions of dollars.
Well those money are used to make state visits making relationship with other countries,funding charities,running the historical institutions and renovating if needed, organising state Ceremonial services,etc which are then broadcasted around the world to hundreds of millions of people earning moneys and boosting the country's tourism with it,generating billions of dollars every year.
So the taxpayer money going to the RF indirectly benefitted the British people only.

I cried while watching this on TV and aing the anthem along
although am a Nigerian I love the Queen, she is always a symbol of Class...

Everything was perfect. My eyes went teary thinking of Queen Elizabeth II😢 Rest in peace Your Majesty
The look in King Charles eyes absolutely breaks my heart.
When mom is gone, the heart aches.
The sadness on Charles' face, it must be hard losing your mother.
It's harder losing one to Chinese Covid .
I mean.....Who doesn't?
@@stevewebb7126 It makes it worse, for sure. I lost my grandfather to Covid last winter. Still miss him 😔.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Steve.
bro be dancing alone cause he finally be king
@@Nano-xo6qq stop
That was absolute superb to watch and listen. Will go down as one of the greatest funerals of all time.
And perhaps the best displays of pagentry in the history of mankind...
Rest In Peace, Queen Elizabeth II, the best & greatest of British Monarchs.
Monarchy is dead in much of the civilised world, Long Live the King in the still uncivilised Societies which may wear modern hat with archaic brains.
@@sreenii5445 You're horrible, you know that don;t you?
Not my king
@@sreenii5445 "civilized world" lol the arrogance of this statement
I had chills the whole time. That was beautiful.
They nailed this, goosebumps every time
Thank you!
Absolutely magnificent. True class, brilliant pageantry, majestic music, and so dignified. What an incredible day, never to be forgotten.
When everyone is dead or has dementia it will be forgotten.

To every Brit out there, congratulations on being British. Wow, just wow. You must all be so proud.
Except I miss Princess Diana more lot more
Diana 😢shes too pretty to die
Why?
Something very moving when they sing the other verse of the anthem only ever in the presence of the Monarch. I'd like to see all verses sang!
I ain't a person for watching royals but I watched this it was absolutely perfect funeral such amazing effort and public's reaction is out of this world she would have been very happy
I am the same but it was great day to be British. When we get it right boy do we.
Bursting with pride for my country, nowhere else in the world can do this kind of ceremony and pageantry.
😢😢😢😢😢
You are right my brother
You are definately right my friend,
Pierre from France.
That's exactly what we thought today while watching this perfect ceremony on TV! Greets from Germany
From California it was stunningly perfect. A lot to be proud about.
She was not only the Queen of UK but of the world .. my lovely Queen rest in peace Forever ... From Italy!
Rest in peace, Her Majesty. ❤️
Rip her majesty, the end of an era! Long live the king
I love the full version of the national anthem really think it should be played more often rather than the shorter version
The funeral Service was so beautiful and perfection she would have been so happy ☺️💗😎😱 she will always be in my heart also, hope and love to the Royal family.♥️♥️♥️💗💗😱
I´m German but...Long live the king!
Rest in peace, Her Majesty!
Practically she was German too, as well as her descendents, with a little scottish twist, so it makes perfect sense.
She had German ancestry, certainly doesn't make her German...

What a magnificent ceremony.
Pretty much the only queen I would ever accept. I bend my knee to no other. May you rest in peace, Your Majesty.
The moment when the anthem changes from Queen to King makes me emotional because "Rest in peace, your majesty."
I cant imagine what emotions he was going through. You could see it on his face. Just lost your mom and now you're going to be King.
I dread losing my Mummy who is now Princess of Wales and the respect Wales will give her. I hope her funeral won’t happen for many years yet
May she rest in peace, she wasn't just a queen, she was a monument. 👑 🙏🌹🕊
The world won’t see a queen of her stature and character again, we’ve lived through history.
@@PW-zs2yx did you know her?
Yes very well
45 years old ex-soldier here. I cried like a baby and I am not ashamed of doing so. It was intense and very moving.
Long live the King!
King Charles looked devastated
RIP Queen Elizabeth ❤❤❤ You will be missed for generations
Best of luck to the new King Charles III
Edward crying at the end broke my heart
This part really got to me. I'm not even from the UK.

How could you cut off the introductory fanfare of the excellent brass section?

How painful and sensitive it would be for King Charles, the National Anthem changes for him but at mothers' funeral🙏😭 RIP Queen🙏
It changed immediately on the Queen's passing on 8th September 2022.
RIP Queen Elizabeth II.
Poor Charles
Ack brings a tear to your eye even in 2025
Rest in peace Queen Elizabeth ||
Anyone else think the second half of the anthem is more powerful...should never be cut short to one verse.
The simplicity and brevity of the first verse alone makes it the perfect anthem in my opinion.
Sleep well and may the angels receive you with honour your Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
Your infectious smile and humour will be dearly missed❤️
It's never too late to fulfill your dreams ...Charles is 73 and he's just landed his first job.
Agree 🙃
@@b.a.5143 This is not his first job. His previous job was The Prince of Wales.
