The news that she'd died hit us like a bomb. She is a historical figure and her legacy is immortal
The US should be proud of you for how respectful you have been over this period. Thank you.
Unlike alot of people in America who have no class what so ever
@@kevinworrall231 Maybe true, but lots of people in the very country the Queen dedicated her life to, also have no respect. I dont mind people being anti-monarch but I detest disrespect.
Its kind of classless for you to make that comment. As an American I've witnessed lots of respect here for the Queen flags at halfmast ect.
I’m impressed with this young man to, he should go into television 📺 as a reporter or similar career. 👌🏼
Good coverage thanks. A little bit of trivia for you - the lament that the bagpiper played at the end of the ceremony (not in your UA-cam coverage) is a piece chosen by the Queen called "Sleep, dearie, sleep".
A lot of people don’t know the 10 lads who made the bearer party was in Iraq 10 days before the funeral and was called back from Iraq for the funeral to undertake their duties. Those lads did themselves, their families and their country proud! Straight after the funeral they went back and rejoined their regiment in Iraq. Some boys GSTQ🇬🇧
I must say, Americans have been fantastic during this time.
You won't find this level of tradition and ceremony anywhere else in the world. Special mention for the bearer party... those boys were truly amazing. Proud to be British.
Those young chaps deserve a medal! What a responsibility to have and the sheer pressure on them. Bravo!
@@sidplays77 I agree they deserve a medal. I can’t praise them enough especially knowing they were taking the Queen to her final resting place,such a great responsibility carrying her majesty’s coffin up the steps into St. George’s chapel 🇬🇧
Mark. I totally agree with you
Those boys were amazing. Everyone was today. But as soon as I saw one of them crying, that broke me. 😢🇬🇧🕊
@@sidplays77 Apparently five of them were serving in Iraq when the Queen died.
The pomp, pageantry, tradition and ceremony put on by the Brits is astounding. Never have seen anything like it before and probably will never again. The amount of planning, effort, work, skill, money and man power to present this tribute to Queen Elizabeth with her funeral is absolutely mind boggling. Incredible! As an American I stand in awe and respect.
🇬🇧😔🥀🥀🥀🥀😔🇺🇸
🇬🇧❤️
A Majestic funeral for our beloved Queen Elizabeth ll ❤
This was in the pipeline for 20 years maybe longer under the code name London Bridge and has been rehearsed to the enth degree and has evolved over time.The sheer number of agencies involved alone is mind blowing, the sheer number of heads of state in attendance, prime ministers, presidents, leaders from all corners of the globe and can you imagine what it takes to just close a city down anywhere in the world? It’s incredible.
And for those outside of the UK the roots between the Sovereign and the military are very deep, historically so and in the case of HM QUEEN ELIZABETH II, her father was in the military as was she, her husband the late Prince Phillip along with her own children. And, when somebody in the UK joins the military the oath they take is to the Sovereign, not the State.The Sovereign br it King or Queen is Commander In Chief.
Notice of the Queen’s death was given to the new Prime Minister (appointed by HM the Queen just 2 days earlier) by telephone with the message “London Bridge has fallen”.
Thankyou 🇬🇧
Big thank you 🇬🇧
I am Australian and she has been my Queen for all of my 62 years. It has been a shock to us to lose her also, she is much loved and respected here too. She always reminded me of my own grandmother, small and petite, but gutsy. I shall miss her very much in my life, and have cried for her passing. Thank you z your majesty, I saw you once in Melbourne when I was 16 and will never forget it. I am so glad that she passed away I her favourite home at Balmoral. It is what she would have wanted.
She was your queen!! She's probably the main reason why there is such a bond between britain, australia, canada and new zealand...
Only the British could pull off a state funeral like that. Pure class from start to finish. So proud to be English 🏴
The most dignified and impressive Military and State funerals in the world take place in the United Kingdom and Thailand from what I have seen.
I am from London still miss queen
And she deserves it too.still can't believe she's gone.been there for all my 54 years,feels weird.
Damn right
We're a much maligned island, but when it comes to pomp and pageantry, nobody compares to us Brits 🇬🇧
I disagree. If you watch the intricacies of the Thai or Saudi monarchy the British are fairly straightforward. If you watch king George's funeral you would have seen more robes, velvet and many many more flowers. The queen always preferred the understatement. It's only just that the world gets to see this stuff, other monarchies less so.
Watched with my Lanchashire parents in Aus...Beautifully done.
It’s pretty much all we’re capable of.
If "we" means you are British, don't run yourself down. Perhaps you think we should think of the price of everything but the value of nothing, like many Americans?
@@bennym5244 you’ve never heard of British understatement then. It’s exactly the way we do pomp and ceremony which makes us the words best. It’s not a about how spectacular it is, it’s about how it’s done. I looked up what you wrote and it was ostentatious and over the top. We have dignity and respect.
The bearer party (the same 8 soldiers who have carried the coffin throughout in London) are from Queen's Company, 1st battalion Grenadier Guards. The responsibility of doing that, especially up the steps at Windsor with literally half the world watching. Fine young men.
I read somewhere there were two coffins one inside the other apart from being lead sealed. All the forces were brilliant, they obviously loved & respected their wonderful Queen, who knew all about the military, drills everything, she was a mass of knowledge. I miss her very much, that mother of the nation thing. A big loss to a lot of the world. God save the KING, may he be guided well by God’s counsel.
@@davidbarrett1487 the coffin our qween lay in was lead lined and they 8 soldiers did a wonderful job taking care of her only one coffin
The pall bearers were also serving in Iraq a week before the funeral 🇬🇧
Apparently the coffin weighed 600kg!
Being on the throne for 70 years is really remarkable
Thank you Joel for the respect and empathy you have shown as an American to our late Queen it is very much appreciated
The whole service was incredible it’s been a very sad and emotional time for us Brits it’s an end of an era such an amazing lady who,did such an incredible job for this country
She’s so amazing she’ll always be remember. How’re you doing?
Those coffin bearer’s deserve a medal of recognition ,such pressure 🙏
It weighed about 550lb as well because it was lead-lined.
They will get recognition for their services.
They will receive medals, I heard on the news thes pall bearers returned from Iraq a week ago.
As an American, who flew to London specifically for Her Majesty’s funeral, to be back home and watching your similar reactions to what I experienced- thank you so much for this video.
Thank u for this great video from Victoria BC Canada
Feel I must tell you that for millions of people in this Country it was not just because Elizabeth, was our Queen or because of the wonderful pageantry that millions of people came out to watch the Royal funeral it was also because she was a lovely person. Very natural and greeted and mixed with everyone she met in an
Unaffected way. Truly, we loved our Queen.
Hello from New Zealand, we lost a grand lady, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. She was our queen also, our country is part of The Commonwealth. I saw the funeral live on Monday night. Thank you so very for showing this video to everyone. May her Majesty Rest in Peace. God Save The King 👑 🇳🇿
It still hurts to think about it. I'm with you my friend
The UK loves NZ we are brothers that protect each other- Beautiful New Zealand
How proud must those lads be that carried the coffin, something they will never forget.
And climbing those stairs at the end into the church
I don't mean this as a critiscm, quite the opposite in fact but I'm fairly sure that one of them had a shiny wet cheek as he carried the coffin into Westminster cathedral.
@@MG-bs5mr It wouldn't be surprising. A hugely moving time.
Hey Joel thank you for your respect you have expressed for the British people in this difficult time. Great job
We would love to have you back in the UK Joel. Love you to stay.
Great job you may think so l think it was disrespectful 'or ignorant' for him to be shaking his head to the choir singing hymns.
@@christopherbrown4619
I think you've misunderstood Joel's head shaking Christopher, I think it was a gesture of 'wonder/amazement'
As a Brit it's been about 6 month since the Queen's passing and I found it very moving I loved how they travelled through the Scottish countryside to Holyrood Palace I thought that was beautiful. Then the funeral itself I thought the first service was very formal I was moved at the end. Then travelling from London to Windsor and seeing Emma the Queen's horse at the side of the prosession was when I really started to weep Then seeing the Corgies I was crying openly. I thought the whole service was so beautiful very moving and sad a very fitting farewell to a wonderful lady who served her country faithfully.
I’m a 63 year old man who will openly admit I was in tears, not only the pomp and pageantry but the history, and much of it missed.
For example I was watching the royal channel early before the funeral commenced.
And the cameras were live,showing camera angles prior to the event. One of these angles zoomed in to a most delicately engraved back board on one of the pews. At the end of much sculpture the inlaid words of “God save the King” kind of put me in mind of the tradition of having the winners name on the F.A cup seconds before the winners receive it.
Traditions of this fine old nation run deep.
And even at my ripe age, I never get tired of learning about learning about them.
Rest in peace my Queen. You were deeply loved.
Incredible.
Hats of to the soldiers who bore the coffin. In thick wool uniforms, that coffin is lead-lined and is so so heavy.
Thank you Joel your one of us your emotions feelings so proud of our little Britain to day sad day but memories for ever
The Coffin was estimated at around 700 pounds, More than QUARTER OF A TONNE!!!
It has been estimated that it would weigh between 250kg and 317kg. Eight military bearers have been selected to carry the Queen's coffin . After the Service at Westminster Abbey they had to drive in cars and a hearse to Windsor. 21.7 miles. You could look at it on You-Tube The whole services are on there.
The most impressive feat of the bearer party was getting the coffin up the many steep steps leading to the west door of St George's Chapel at Windsor. It is not surprising they had to make several stops on the way up.
I was sure the crown jewels would fall off but they seem to have been secured firmly.
The cushion for the crown was left on the coffin after the jewels had been removed and placed on the altar. Is the cushion buried with the Queen?
@@MrBulky992 it was bolted onto the coffin, everything left on the coffin after it's lowered into the vault is removed prior to burial.
I never been prouder to be British than I was today & I thank you for your respect & I thank our Queen for being our Queen.
I am from British ancestry, and was so proud to see this, even though I am Australian, Britain will,always be my motherland. Our family are descended from the Plantagenets so there is a very strong bond with Britain which I have felt all of my life, before I knew of the connection. It’s in my soul, Britain and Australia.
I spent the whole day watching her Majesty's funeral. The most devastating moment for me was when they removed the crown, orb and sceptre from her coffin. Such a moment of finality. 😥
You appeared to be moved by the service in Westminster Abbey. Your reactions really had me choking up all over again. What a lovely, sensitive and respectful, young man you are. Your parents have brought a warm human being into the world. 💜
Totally agree let’s not forget his friends to , all cool people and very respectful always ❤
He`s also obviously a big fan of the U.K., (such as I).
I totally agree. Such a lovely lad.
Joel - your reaction to watching the funeral of our Queen, is so precious and respectful. Sending our thanks across The Pond to you all 🇬🇧 ❤ 🇺🇸
The coverage has been wonderful and the armed forces every one of them can hold their heads high.🇬🇧
Agreed
Thank you for being so respectful whilst watching our beloved Queens funeral. 🇬🇧🇺🇸
I am British, I am so proud of our military! They are world class at doing ceremonial duties! They aren't just ordinary soldiers, ceremony is very much a part of their everyday duties. They are so skilled at what they do, I am so proud of every soldier involved. People forgot these soldiers took a oath to "fight for QUEEN and country", the Queen was the big boss really.
I am Scottish so extra proud they included the Bagpipes.
They are in fact 'ordinary' soldiers in that they are 'of the line' with their duties encompassing those ceremonial duties when called upon to do so.
l love the sound of the bag pipes they were fantastic.
the queen was 1/2 scottish too
I'm a Kiwi, I love how the Brits do pomp and ceremony, no one does it better, yous should be proud of the send off you gave to Her Majesty, it's what she deserved for a lifetime of service. My Cousin's son was one of the New Zealand Soldiers marching with the Australians and Canadians as part of the Commonwealth contingent.
@@bevanfletcher6563 thank you,and how amazing for him,it's a family story that he and your family will tell for generations
Thank you for your respect, understanding, and kind words of the Loss of our Beloved Queen, and of our traditions that date back over a thousand years.
Our Land is small, but we have a big heart. ❤️ 🇬🇧 UK
Thank you Joel for showing Britain this much respect -you make the USA proud!
Yes with good young men in America like this lad I believe the West has a future. I could just see this fellow storming Normandy.
my thoughts exactly he's the best of America .....I don know this guy but i am sure he will have a positive life as he is respectful and decent ....best of luck to him.
So proud of our armed forces, the beautiful choir and as a Scot, the sound of those bagpipes had me in tears 😢
So am I. Very proud
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love bagpipes,but they make me cry whenever I hear them on solemn occasions - and I''m not even a Scot,I'm English
@@KarlHamilton I'm splitting my sides ☹️
I though I was all cried out - and then those darned bagpipes started and here I go again 😢 absolutely beautiful ❤
That was not an ordinary coffin, It was Lead lined, So very very heavy, Respect to all who carried it. The Funeral lasted nearly 2 hours.
As an ex soldier, I wept at the loss of our Boss. She was deeply respected by all her troops, sailors and airmen/women. God bless the Queen and long live king charles(God help us!)
I just wanted to say thank you for caring about our Queen. I have been heartbroken by the vile, hate filled comments that have come out from America. I'm proud of you, thank you for restoring my faith in Americans x
Yes it’s been very upsetting.. 😥❤️🇬🇧
I haven't heard that many vile comments about the Queen from America. The coverage for the most part has been full of admiration and praise. Unless you count the usual suspects at MSNBC and CNN, but they can be trusted to take the wrong view on any subject.
@@davidhamilton1881 You are the lucky one then. We are all used to trolls but, this has been awful.
I have seen many nice comments from Americans on loads of videos,the only video I,ve seen negative comments from Americans is where Biden is at the Queens coffin.
Respect to you bud gave it Respect as if she was your queen and England your county and I've not seen vile comments but there a British saying PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES SHOULDN'T THROW STONES coz having a monarchy works well for the British satiety but can't say the same about the craziness over there
When you mentioned about the soldiers holding the coffin, it weighs half a tonne as it's lined with lead to keep it hermetically sealed. Huge respect to the pallbearers!
Joe you are doing a great job thank you so much
I was very proud to serve Her Majesty for 15 years in the british army. Im heart broken but to watch my brothers and sisters give her the send off she rightly deserves made me even more proud
I served 24 years, and was too immensely proud of our brothers and sisters serving who did a truly magnificent job of sending our late sovereign on her way. I only managed to watch in Hyde park such was the volume of people. I wept on more than one occasion completely unabashed.
Always known as " The Boss " in the British armed forces.
@@peterlloyd8313 indeed she was
I never served BUT was in the air cadets in the late 80s and applied to go into the RAF after leaving school ...didn't get into the trade I wanted to go in and they offered me a steward job which I turned down ...TBH it's the ONLY regret in my life I ever had ....BUT also back then (i was only 16 /17) if i had taken the queens shilling i would prob been court marshaled/discharged as turned out I was gay lol this was way before they changed to rules and became a more inclusive military BUT i still stand by the service i had in the Air cadets (still have my book / service record) and even though i was a cadet we still swore an oath to queen and country!
🇬🇧👍🇬🇧
The soldiers that carried the Queen were flawless throughout while the world focused on them. No pressure ! 👑🇬🇧
I think one of them has died since, read an article
Yes it was Jack Burnell Williams 18 yo. Found dead at his London Barrack's I
Seeing her majesty’s horse and dogs, and the coffin disappearing were the hardest for me, but what a fantastic display showing our country at its best🏴🇬🇧. Thank you for your respect
It was torture for me because I had a fell pony called Emma.. 😥🏴🇬🇧
The bit that got me was the lone piper walking slowly down the passage and out of the door at the end of the service at Windsor. So full of symbolism.
The piper ,the sound of the bag pipes always gets me, she loved the pipes. It was a very heart felt feeling, so emotive.
Man seeing this just shows how the UK is probably the most traditional country today, you can see how much effort they've put into this from the planning since many many years to executing those plans in the past 11 days, absolutely amazing to see how they still have kept their heritage and traditions around, you just don't see these things happening today anywhere with the sheer amount of passion, sorrow, love and dedication these British people have shown to their late monarch. 👏👏👏
As French. I approve they have the most Traditionnal and culture
Most of us don't really give a shit though. The Queen was a good public servant, who lived to a very respectable age, in palatial surroundings. But I didn't know her. And ultimately taxpayers paid for this funeral, in a cost of living crisis, even with the millions the royal family have - and my family can't even afford a headstone for my grandad.
@@FRESHNESSSSSSI can understand how you must feel and I'm sorry your Grandfather has gone. As someone whos Grandparents died a long time past and recently lost my Mother, I just wanted to let you know many of us reading your comment are sad for your loss and care about your situation in these hard times, time heals. You could add a headstone to a grave in the future in better times.
I think you mean most traditional western country.
There are lots of traditional countries
@@FRESHNESSSSSS that’s utter rubbish. Most people do and did care greatly for our late Queen. You may not and that’s your loss. We and the hundreds of thousands across these lands who traveled to pay our deepest respects are testament to the feeling of the country. I feel sad for you that you don’t feel like one of us. I wonder if you respect anything other than yourself.
You my friend, are as British as us, Thankyou for supporting our queen and loving our country the way you do, I feel blessed to be British.
Hear hear
Sending much love from Germany
I watched all eleven hours and it was the most beautiful and regimented event I’ve ever witnessed. Everything was perfect.
Yesterday, after queueing for 10 hours along the embankment toward the Abbey, I finally managed to say my final respects and thanks for her years of service. Such a surreal moment, one that will never be forgotten. As they say, no one does it better than the British. May she now RIP as we say goodbye to an era, but look forward to a new chapter and what will become.Huge respect for you, taking the time to pay tribute to our late Queen. Much respect to you from the UK.
I watched alot of the lying in state I am sure she would have been surprised at how many people wanted to show their respect. I have every respect to everyone who waited patiently to do that the old and young
Fair play to the young and old, the disabled and all nationalitys for queuing. You all must be so tired
I would loved to have gone to London and queue for the Queen, alas I live and work on the isle if wight so not an easy feat.
Thank you so much for all the heartfelt tributes you have made throughout this period of mourning.. we truly appreciate it 🏴
Thank you 🇳🇿
100% agree decent young man
@@paulabuckley7493 proper decent so he is 👍
Well done, just to let you know there was a cannon fired every minute for every year & Big Ben tolled at the same time.
You appreciate this uncultured person shaking his head two choir music.
I worked behind the scenes at the Queen’s laying in state. I can honestly they were four of the most exhausting and emotionally draining days of my life. But they also provided some amazing, unforgettable moments that I will never forget. I feel honoured and privileged to have been a very small part of such a huge moment in British history.
Joel not only was the whole service dignified but so was your reaction. She was a remarkable woman and she will be missed by millions of people around the world. Thank you so much for your reaction. You really are quite a remarkable man.
Our boys were, magnificent, not to be bettered, so proud of them. That coffin is made of Oak and lead lined.
I literally can’t stop crying. I’ll miss our Queen so much. Even I didn’t realise how much loved her majesty. Sweet dreams my beautiful Queen 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧😭😭😭😭
It got me when George and Charlotte followed the coffin
I wish there was a laughing emoji
@@marieO07 maybe you'd like someone there to laugh at your death? Whatever you think of the Royals, its a funeral, grow tf up.
@@marieO07 Because your a knob
@@lillired857 Who's laughing at who's death....... strange comment. Where I'm from we try to only laugh at funerals tbh, no tears please where I come from. Not too worry though, today is Another Beautiful day. Chin up
Thank you Joel! That was the most beautiful and respectful video honouring our beloved Queen.
🇬🇧. 🇨🇦. 🇬🇧. 🇨🇦….As a Canadian, I wish eternal Rest In Peace for our beloved Queen. I felt a special swell of pride in our Canadian servicemen and woman in the procession. Also a tremendous honour seeing our R.C.M.P. leading the procession from the Abby to the Wellington Arch. Queen Elizabeth had a very special relationship with with the R.C.M.P.
I thought the mounties looked amazing 👏 was so lovely to see the effort they went to for her majesty
Anything to do with horses would immediately have her interest.
She will be sorely missed by all in the Commonwealth. Especially in the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand
The Mounties looked fantastic!!
Canada should never become a Republic or it will be just like the US.
As an American that has hopped across the Pond many times' since the 60's , thank you for your respectful coverage and comments on Her Majesty's funeral.
The real applause goes to the thousands police/ military and special forces who kept everyone safe. The last part of the funeral at Windsor was the saddest. But these occasions done like this is what makes us British and brings us together as a family of nations/ realms and overseas territories.
Respect for the reaction. Over 4.5 billion watched the funeral live that’s like 65% of the planet. Shows the respect ✊🏽 peace from England
I queued for 14 hours to see HM the Queen Lying in State and was in the Mall to watch her funeral procession - it was heartbreaking. She gave us 70 years of service and we loved her. It’s been a difficult few days for us all. 🖤
It is always heartbreaking when someone dies. I am American and I have been following this all week. Cried more than once. She was the best of them. Her reign most iconic. She will be missed.
I would link my Queen to Eisenhower too god bless our relationship 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Thank you America for your respect.
I'm so sorry words fail me.
I’m super impressed with the Pallbearers as Her Majesty’s coffin weighs around 500lb and lined with lead.
The world is changing rapidly, you are watching history. Thank you for being so respectful as it’s wonderful to see this in a young man. I hope our younger generation’s keep our traditions alive. R.I.P Queen Elizabeth II.
You are so respectful , I don’t think a lot of people realise how much of a big deal this was , our grandchildren will be learning about this moment at school and we can say we were there watching it live ❤
This was an incredible ceremony. I'm not religious but hearing a choir or audience singing hymns always brings a tear to my eyes. The music choices and readings were perfect. A beautiful and perfect send off for one of the UK's greatest monarchs
Then pls visit England's churches regularly. Or else... it's already dying slowly ...
The Christian hymns and Bible readings made it religious.
Generic - you don't have to be Religious to believe in Jesus Christ : in fact, it's best not to be
She was the head of the Church of England, now King Charles is, it makes sense that it would be religious, she did a job few would want and kept her promise that she would serve the realm her entire life
RIP Queen Elizabeth II
Hi I'm an Englishman and thank you so much for your comments, I am not religious either but on hearing hymns we don't shake our heads, after all it's Not Rap... May Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II' rest in peace....
The sailors hauling the gun carriage through London was a beautiful sight.
That started at Queen Victoria's funeral when the horses pulling the gun carriage spooked and were replaced by the Naval ratings and has been kept as a tradition ever since.
@@peteregan7864 Thank you. I did wonder about that.
I was in London yesterday for my wonderful Queens funeral, I felt a blanket of comfort from the silence in crowds of thousands of fellow mourners, I felt immense pride at the grace and dignity of all involved and I was humbled by love shown for such an important global ambassador for peace, kindness and dignity that she always was. Thank you for paying tribute xx
As an ex British infantry soldier who served our queen and Country for 16 years I am so very proud of all our service personnel. What you watched there Joel was history many many centuries of it . My respect to you and our cousins across the pond.
Also infantry.Great comment.🇬🇧👍
The Queen had this planned this year's ago even down to the music
The best moments to me were when the National Anthem played - really sad, and when the bagpipes played and started to fade away until they stopped - almost felt like a metaphor for life.
Absolute respect to you Joel, you are a genuine person and a great Ambassador for the US. You conduct yourself perfectly. Thank you.
I came across this on UA-cam and was interested to see your reaction. My main comment is about your sensitivity to the loss in all its aspects , a pillar of hope, grandmother etc. The 10 days full of ceremony , commemoration and pagentry were what the British do best and I am proud to live in the UK and was able to be part of this. There will never be another Queen, woman, role model like her....
I have known no other Monarch during my 62 years. Her Majesty will be missed by millions for so many different reasons. Thank you for your respectful review of Her Majesty's funeral. You show a maturity far in excess of your years. Thank you.
Thank you for a most reverent and informed understanding of how significant the passing of our Queen has been. I live in Australia and I'm proud that I also live in a Commonwealth of nations that today showed the world how things are done. And how the Queen showed how things should be done.... Dignity & respect. Today there are some leaders that think they are great, some that think that they are powerful, and some that take things by force ... but today they and the rest of the world learned a lesson on what being a leader and what being born into privilege and being referred to as Her Majesty actually means. Our Queen lived a life of service and in some respects sacrifice. May she rest in peace and Long Live The King!!
Greg, your comment has absolutely nailed , not only what's wrong with most of the leaders of the world today, but also the reverence which decent people like you hold for our late Majesty.
You said the so eloquently thank you and I agree with you too! 👏👏👏👏👏
For me the pallbearers, were just amazing. What a job which they all did so perfectly and with great precision. It was a beautiful day indeed. FItting for our Queen. RIP Queen Elizabeth II 🙏🏿 💔.
Thank you for getting up early to cover the queen's funeral. That was very kind of you to do so. Also, thank you for your kind words and thoughts over this last week. they mean so much to your British followers and myself.
The whole world was with you
Not sure if you’re aware but the late Queens coffin is made of English Oak and lined with lead.. It must weigh a ton! Those extraordinary young men who carried her coffin made it look effortless. What an honour it must have been. Utmost respect to all of them
The coffin as you say is heavy and weighs around 500kg or half a metric tonne.
I believe the challenge doesn't compare with the sheer weight of Winston Churchill's coffin which shocked the pall bearers who nearly dropped him trying to climb the stairs of St Pauls
see them in training- YT, Guarding the Queen - ua-cam.com/video/sL4WL4h_I1A/v-deo.html
its amazing
@@ds1868 it’s 500 lbs not kilos
They certainly didn't seem to struggle with it they way they did carrying Diana's and these guys had to handle it numerous times. Great job!
When the coffin was cleared of the crown and orb and committed to the ground was when I shed a tear. The breaking of the wand was a poignant moment symbolising the end of a reign and the start of a new one.
At that moment my tears flowed. Removing the crown, orb and sceptre was such an emotional part of her funeral. King Charles looked as though he was going to break down. It really was the final goodbye to our wonderful queen. Rip and God Bless.
Imagine a young Queen Elizabeth doing exactly that without any cameras for her fathers final send off now 70 plus years later her son is doing the same for her.
We feel like we all lost our grandma
Don't talk shite
Thank you your Majesty for the years of service to our Commonwealth. As an Aussie you were very much our Queen here too. The service was so fitting...beautiful words and pomp and ceremony.
It's Weird To Think About The UK Without The Queen . My Deepest Condolences And Sympathy To The British People For The Passing Of Queen Elizabeth II The Great . May God Almighty Rest Her Majesty In Peace With Her Beloved Husband Prince Phillip .
Greeting From Other Part Of The World . ♡
Lovely words thank you Roti. Most of us treasured her very much.
@@tracypriest4386 You Are Most Welcome . Sorry For My 'Broken' English . ✌
There's only one country that can put on a funeral like this, it was amazing to watch👍
It was a phenomenal funeral and I was overwhelmed with emotion at times especially at the start when the bagpipes started playing 🏴🇬🇧
Got me too. Soon as I heard them I was off crying.
@@richardpearce4079 just watched the service at Windsor I found that even more moving
I also love the bag pipes, especially with Big Ben chiming also !!
The pipes get me every time
Yup I’m a piper and it even choked me up right from the start once the pipes/drums fired up
I was very privileged to be part of our sovereign's escort,
The funeral has been planned for years but all that took part had only 4 days to practice together. I can say truthfully lots of tears were she'd by those taking part.Nice respectfull piece you have put together.
I’m no monarchist but man that was so moving and beyond impressive. Everything went like clockwork and whoever worked it all out was a genius for sure. Just the sight of that coffin in all its glory brought a lump to the throat and all those beautiful uniforms just makes you swell with pride. The queen was certainly one of a kind and that ceremony was equal in majesty. RIP.
The Duke of Norfolk was in charge of the organization. It's the role of the Duke of Norfolk whoever it is to be in charge of a monarch's funeral.
I’m no royalist but what got me was the music.
Good on you Joel, you are so respectful to us.
Hey Joel. I guess you're a honorary British citizen 😉 you've witnessed the full pomp and ceremony of the Kingdom of Britain 🇬🇧.. always enjoyed your videos, since your running videos, before you became famous. You're very welcome back to the UK at any time. Thanks for taking the time to watch the funeral of our Queen Elizabeth II.
As others have said, I don't think that any other country can do ceremony like we in the UK can. That may sound like a boast but today proves it and it is just the way we are and approach things.
As usual your decency, respect and perception shine through. Thank you.
I queued for 6 and a half hours and saw the Queen on Thursday, it was incredibly powerful and I didn’t know how to feel, it was so surreal being in the hall. Huge amount of respect for the queen, so sad to see her go. Your reaction was super respectful and well said as always, awesome vid! 🇬🇧❤🇺🇸
Thank you for kind words, it has been a very emotional week for us Brits, respect dude.
I waved a flag as a 9 year old school boy in 1970. My queen passed in her car in Bolton! I'm in tears today as I realise Britain will never be the same.
How will it never be the same?
Kings and Queens are supposed have power.
That power was hijacked by the government a long time ago and now Kings and Queens are simply there as an ornament
They have no real authority in this modern world
She visited Bolton 6 times.The last was a visit to Warburton’s,and she looked as though she was enjoying herself.
I think it was to open an ASDA !! I mean a shop! I suppose that's what happened then although I know celebrities opened supermarkets etc
I think you are correct Christopher, and I think that is alot of why so many came to pay their respects and why we're so sad
I watched this all day. Im a brit. And this was one if the most amazing things I've ever seen live. I particularly liked the solo bagpipe in Westminster Abbey and Windsor Castle. And the choir in Westminster Abbey was absolutely majestic
Apparently, the bearer party were in Iraq just a week ago, and the Navy ratings- those pulling the gun carriage- have only been in the service for a couple of months. That means that they are mostly your age. They all did themselves proud today.
The state funeral was only the first half. The procession in Windsor, and then the committal service in the chapel were less grand, but equally moving. Well worth a watch if you have the time.
The Queen was interred with the Duke of Edinburgh, beside her mother, father and sister, with just her closest friends and family present and away from the cameras just a few hours later.
Not all the Navy ratings are so new - a Navy veteran I work with pointed out some have 4 long service badges making it 12+ years for them
@@tomd2917 However long they have been in, they all did a fantastic job. I saw quite a few tweets by proud relatives, all alluding to their youth (mind you, everyone is young to me), and some could count on their fingers the months since they joined up. I hope the bar they (possibly) hit last night was very well stocked!
VERY MUCH SO. please try to watch the final chapter, it is in St, George's Chaple at Windsor, The King, his sister Princess Anne, his brother's Andrew and Edward then the Queen's two grandsons, William, The Prince of Wales, and Harry, then the Princess Royal's son (Anne), and the cousins and so on are WALKING behind the hearse bearing the Casket -- from West Minister Abbey along the road to Windsor Castle (1000 years old) and up the stairs to St. George's Chapel and the final Public Service. JOEL, did you know there had been a FIRST SERVICE in St Giles, in Edinburgh, Scotland, after the Quenn was Laying In State in Balmoral, in Holyrood House, then Transported to Westminster Hall Parliamentary Buildings in London prior to the march, and Service at West Minister Abbey. (I think it is about 8 hours, but facinating and quite lovely - take kleenex, I cried all over again when I saw the Queen's CORGIES, and Pony waiting for her to arrive.
@@JustMe-ks8qc I actually know how they are picked, when you joined a ship/station/air base as a trainee you are regarded as a 'phase 2' (in training, phase 1 being in HMS Raleigh for basic training) and you are automatically put onto OP Bridges (queen was london bridge) and they remain on it until they pass out of phase 2 training and are no longer regarded as a trainee. The new batch of trainees will fill up the spots left behind automatically, meaning you can never run out of ratings for it if a monarch dies.
The guys with the good conduct chevrone patches denote 4 years each, so the guy with three had 12+ years in, a guy with 2 chevrones is 8+ years - the reason those guys are on it is because they will get pinged as leading hands (supervisors) to represent their ship/station/air base, along with the senior rates and officers. I myself was on OP Bridges as a trainee, but during that 6 month period no-one died, and I was automatically taken off of it.
@@precepts6097 That's fascinating, thank you. Do you rehearse during those 6 months just in case? I'm trying to figure out the logistics of it all in my head, but I can't get past how they would no doubt be based on different ships, likely in different parts of the world. I get that marching is fairly standard, but there was so much more to it than that.
I’m not religious. But this has to be the closest thing I can think of, of being close to God.
I’m from the UK, and served her, my Commander in Chief, in the Royal Signals.
What our Monarchy brings is second to none of which is admired, appreciated and adored by all other nations.
Thank you for doing this. Very appreciative of you!!
May she rest in peace for eternity, our beloved.
Goodnight Ma’am, it was an honour!!
Thank you for your Service ❤️🇬🇧
There’s no doubt that the English Monarchy have the keys to the 4th or 5th most powerful military machine on Earth but I and many more become confused when they and the Anglican Church appear to believe they have equal power or some higher divine right towards God over lesser countries or peoples of this planet. Do you understand or do you think those at this service would understand my & those of no ‘ organised ‘ religions’ point of view whatsoever ? 🏴❤️
@@newforestpixie5297 And you would prefer what sort of Head of State? A corrupt and confused President with a penchant for sniffing children? A dictator like Kim Jon Un (or Idi Amin, Robert Mugabe and many others)? An Islamic dictatorship like Iran? A Communist state like China? All countries need a Head of State and a constitutional monarchy like the UK has is the most stable and least risky for the people of the country which is why the mood in Iran is for a referendum on returning to a monarchy, but a constitutional monarchy, not an absolute monarchy. Over half of the world population watched the Queen's funeral and it wasn't because they thought the Crown believes it has some sort of divine right. I am of no organised religion, but the monarch is Head of the Anglican church so and Anglican funeral is appropriate.
Thank you so much for showing respect to our Queen by taking the time to watch her funeral. it moved me to tears. The young service personnel who carried our Queen's coffin were fantastic as was everyone who partook in this magnificent funeral, i'm so proud of them all, the lowering of our Queen in the vault and the lone piper, it got me all emotional. Her funeral was truly amazing and very fitting. God bless you! I couldn't stop crying. I'm so proud to be English. 🇬🇧🏴🇺🇲
I'm not a royalist but I have spent the day crying, thank you for your respectful reaction.queen Elizabeth is an immense loss, she has been the one constant in all of our lives, if there's a god may he rest her soul ...
You come across as a lovely lad with great manners i I'm so proud of our great nations coming together as one.
It was a fitting service for the greatest queen to ever reign we will miss our queen Elizebeth thakyou for being so respectful from z in England 🏴
Full respect to everyone who was involved in organising the funeral. It was precision planning and went without a hitch. Bringing Central London to a standstill is no mean feat and they pulled it off.
Was sad to see The Queen leave London for the final time. As I write this, she’s on her way to Windsor for another service. Crowds lined up on The Long Walk, leading up to Windsor Castle. Her private burial takes place at about 19:00 GMT.
Thanks again Joel for being respectful and reverent during all of this. For me, it’s of course been sad but I know for others it has really hit them, and so your response is much appreciated.
Her Majesty planned it, she wanted it this way
@@SaltimusMaximus That’s right. She had laid out her wishes with intricate detail. Her funeral had been planned for years, albeit with certain flexibility built in (such as if there had been adverse weather).
I am so proud to be British, and so proud of our Monarchy and traditions. R.I.P. Queen Elizabeth the Great, and God bless the King! Thank you Joel.
Thank you Joel for being so respectful to our Queen, it’s been a bitter blow to loose her and we all seem a little lost right now. Thank you also for getting up so early it must have been a struggle to sit through our long ceremony. I too watched it from start to finish and kept hoping the bearers held it together.
When I was watching this I actually knew that you would be watching it too. You have shown such respect since she passed away. You are a young man to be proud of. I wish you well.
Your love and respect is greatly appreciated Joel, you're a good man, never change.
Just got back from London today (Friday) having attended the funeral on Monday - words cannot express how surreal the whole event has been, it was a party, it was emotion ,it was mourning ,it was grief...for the colossal amount of people there, the silence was deafening, respectful, dutiful.....you can certainly feel there is a presence missing in London. Proud and sad, Her Majesty the Queen - A life well lived - A story well told. God save the King.
You're such a top guy Joel. You have shown so much respect and dignity to us Brits following the sad death of our Queen. You are such a credit to the U.S and to everybody who follows you on here. The funeral was immaculate, can't even comprehend how much preparation went into the days events. What a beautiful send off to Elizabeth. Everything was on point - the 1 thing that made me chuckle were the horses on the way down The Mall from Buckingham Palace - they seemed to be having great conversations among themselves and seemed oblivious to what was going on :) Thanks Joel for sharing this truly unique piece of history with us and just being so great.
No words can describe how I and millions of others feel about our Queens Elizabeth on this very sad day. God save the Queen
The funeral was stunning. Historic and befitting of our glorious Queen. Waited for her procession to Windsor go past my house and I stood in silence with tears and a lump in my throat as she went by. May she rest in eternal peace. Goodnight my Queen
Incredible and honest reaction. The choir seemed to have a profound emotional effect, regardless whether you’re religious or not. Sometimes it just hits different.
Thank you for the respect you showed towards our late Queen and Country, sending much respect to my American brothers and sisters 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
