- This is one of the biggest and most substantial funerals in history, with world leaders from all over the globe traveling to the UK to pay their respects. It has become increasingly apparent to me just how important a figure Queen Elizabeth was to so many people, and there could not be a more appropriate way to celebrate her life and legacy. I am looking forward to reacting and experiencing the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II for myself, and especially from my American perspective.

My brother was one of the Royal Navy pulling the gun carriage.
We were so proud of him and all the armed forces for their hard work yesterday. It was a very moving tribute to our queen. May she rest well.
pls thank him for me for his service. God bless him
What an honour and what memories for you all . All the services did so well but the navy stood out for me looking so smart and moving as one. Very emotional day .
Was he really, wow fantastic 👏
You must be so proud of him and he will treasure the day.
Give him our thanks. X
As a Canadian , I was proud to see the Royal Canadian mounted police leading the procession up the mal . Something she requested herself.
👍👍
As a Brit I can say we love that Canada is a huge part of our shared Royal heritage.
I believe the RCMP lead the coronation procession in 1953.
As a Brit, I thought that a highlight ...
Yes that was really lovely to see🤩 UK
I'm in awe of the fact that the leaders of the world no matter the faith / Religion gathered together to say goodbye to this amazing lady.
....and Joe Biden had to sit at the back.

Westminster ABBEY, not Hall !!!
As an Australian and member of the Commonwealth, and a follower of the Royal family since being a child, I watched nearly 9 hours straight out of loyalty to our late great Queen ❤️👍🏿🇦🇺
Me too
Me too
The UK stands by our Brothers and Sisters of Australia, we will if needs be protect you till death defies us
Thank you. Yesterday alone 63% of the WORLD'S population watched our dear Queen's funeral. She was, and is, dearly loved.
MILLIONS were there in person,BILLIONS watched this on t.v.
an estimated 4.1 billion people watched the funeral, making it the most watched recorded event in WORLD history.
Was it really 63%? That's unbelievable.
I still get teary watching these. She is so very missed.
@@TylerRumple Your unbelievable Tyler! 🇬🇧❤️🏅
Unlike in the US, the UK military personal wear uniforms only when in the military. Once retired, you can wear your medals at any point you choose, but can only put your uniform back on with permission. There was no disrespect in denying Harry that privilege, unlike how it would seem to an American. There's just different traditions and rules over here.
nice comment and all but he doesn't read any of the comments btw
I'm just here to thumbs up the Tolkien Username!
👍
@@robmartin525 ... it comes in handy when chewing out Amazon for their latest abhorrent offering.
Thanks for the clarification.
@@Iluvantir I've listened to the reviews and I'm glad I'm not watching that drivel!
They could have done anything with it!!! But no, we've got to be subjected to the place so evil that fire doesn't give off heat!
Her Majesty really did stick to her words at her Coronation: “I dedicate my life whether it be long or short” Up to TWO DAYS before passing she was still doing her duties welcoming in the new Prime Minister. Remarkable!
Actually, she said that on her 21st birthday - more than 5 years before she became Queen.
When I found out she had passed I balled my eyes out.
I watched it live and balled my eyes out.
Even now watching your video I'm balling my eyes out.
She was more loved and respected than words could ever explain.
I did also. But having a few sad years personally, I didn't want to watch the funeral. But when news came the Queen had died, I cried a the passing of a great lady, person, monarch and Head of State. All carried out with British dignity. Would expect nothing less. I did watch the Coronation however.
The Monarch is the Head of the Church of England and the Queen was a devout Christian, so yes this was a religious funeral.
I think of all of Tylers comments I was shocked that he was not aware that GB is a devoutly Christian country with its Monarch the Head of the Church,
and the huge part it plays in the life of this country. Tyler, you are obviously blissfully unaware of the part religion plays not only in the UK, but the entire
Commonwealth, and in the lives of those countries that are not even part
of that Commonwealth. While I love your Channel and am grateful for it,
may I respectvfully enquire what the American education system actually
teaches ? No offence intended.
A little like the American walked into Westminster Abbey, and in loud voice commented, " It's just a Church ." Ye Gods
The flowers on top of the Queen's coffin all came from her personal gardens and were chosen by King Charles. The bouquet included sprigs of myrtle taken from the plant started from a piece of myrtle from her wedding bouquet when she married Phillip. Such a personal touch! Details like that really humanize Elizabeth from an icon to a lovely woman.
That's an amazing detail, thanks.
Over 60% of the world watched our queen’s funeral, that’s 4.7 billion around the world x Our love and respected Queen who made the world a better place for over 70 years xx
As a Scottish woman , hearing “the lone piper” say a final farewell to Her Majesty… that’s where i cried. The sound of that piper is so poignant and powerful and sums up the sound of a soul lost 😢. She was the UK’s 1 stead fast. We lost more than our Queen. We lost the grandmother of us all. But she will always be remembered for being a magnificent monarch
Definitely agreed as our constant. Good and bad. But in a crisis, I did feel better when she addressed as such as through the pandemic when so many died. The Queen talked to us.
I find her message we'll see our friends again, we'll see our family again, we'll see each other again is the strongest messages that is true even outside of covid @@wolfslair31
My late father was in the Welsh Guards and he took part in the Coronation marching behind the state carriage. That day he marched from Earls Court to Buckingham Palace onto the Abbey and back again. My fondest memory of him is of him watching the Coronation Televised for Her Majesty's Silver Jubilee and pointing out to us his position in the ranks of the Guardsmen. Third man back in the left-hand rank and telling us his memories of that day. He met and married my mother three years later. It's been more than forty years since he passed away, I was twenty-two years old and now I am an old man. I have tears in my eyes knowing that once again my father is guarding our Queen.
As a Vet of 74, I pay respect to that man!
That's a great memory, and like my father who served 37 years I am immensely proud of our military. I have a life of regret, and not joining the army is the biggest, but when I was a young boy, the IRA were killing soldiers and it was not a war like others. 😞
loved that story, thanks for sharing
Nice comment but he doesn't read them
That's amazing. May your father rest in peace.
As a veteran im so proud of our troops, nobody does it better than us
God bless you
You like blowing your own trumpet.
@@seansmith445 so he should
@@thatsthat2612 modesty is better than arrogance.
@@seansmith445 opinion
The British Sovreign is the monarch of the UK (which includes Scotland). Also, the late Queen loved Scotland and bagpipes. She had a personal bagpiper and she'd wake to the sound of bagpipes every morning as her bagpiper would play outside her window. The ceremony ended with him playing a final farewell as he walked away from her coffin. Beautiful and heartbreaking.
Does Tyler even know what the UK is, or the Commonwealth of Nations
or anything about them? His accompanying narrative suggests not.
Well done for even bothering though Tyler.
@@marycarver1542 Tyler knows what the UK is (has made a video on it). However, I think he may not have made the connection that the Queen is the monarch of the whole of the UK because she's often informally referred to as the "Queen of England". Just my guess.
The Queen’s mother was also part Scottish
@@sunnyshine2215 The Queen’s mother was 💯Scottish. Her father was the Earl of Strathmore
Also, HM directly descended from the pre Union monarchs of Scotland. She is descended from James I who had been King of Scotland and inherited the Crown of England on the death of Queen Elizabeth I in 1603. King James directly descended from Robert the Bruce 13th century and in turn from David I, King of Scots ( 12th century ) and Kenneth I ( 9th century ). Scottish roots are very deep.
This was the hardest day for our British nation, the respect , love & admiration the British had for their queen is genuine. Our military did us proud. The pride of our people & armed forces did this our respect for a Queen that reigned over us for 70 years. It was a mixture of sorrow, joy, pride & unity - makes me proud to be British & grateful to world for their kind words & support. Long live our King & eternal peace to our majestic late Queen Elizabeth II you will be solely missed 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏 xxx
The moment they took the crown, orb and sceptre from off the coffin was very emotional for a lot of people.
Yeah, that kind of broke my heart.
I don't know how the Royal family kept it together.
Yes this part made me feel really sad, but where she is going, she won't be needing such earthly trifles
Yes.
And when the wand was broken and the man played the bagpipes to her for the last time. So final.
Yeah, I've been sombre all week; but not sad - when they removed Her Majesties Crown, though, my eyes just teared up by themselves and it got hard to swallow for a moment.. I was as surprised as anyone
Very powerful stuff
The Pipes and Drums were played for a few reasons. First is a military reason, pipes are almost always part of military ceremonies in the UK and even the wider Commonwealth at large. With the Queen being CoC of the Armed Forces, this falls under that purvue. Second, the Queens family on her mothers side were Scottish. It's actually been argued that she's the most Scottish monarch since Charles I who was born in Scotland to James VI of Scotland, who then became James I at the union of the Crowns. Third reason is purely the fact she picked all the music and readings performed on the day herself, and she was well known to love the Pipes and Drums, and being in Scotland in general. Lastly and most simply... Scotland is part of the UK, forgetting everything else I said before, honestly, thats reason enough.
Scotland is still separate…in some ways…English titles do not count there….she was Queen of The Scots….& didn’t they do her proud?
Apparently the Queen used to have the bagpipes playing to wake her up or just after she had been woken. I love the bagpipes.
@Nicky Jones yea, the man playing the bagpipes inside the royal crypt was the man who would play for her every morning outside her window. It symbolizes that he would play for her one last time before he disappeared into the distance.
It seems she chose to end her days in Scotland.
The piper is also the same chap who used to play the pipes every morning outside her window, to signal the start of the new day.
I'm ex Royal Air Force and there's a lot of inter-service rivalry but I have no hesitation in saying that the bearer party and Royal Navy team did an impeccable job!
Retired RN submariner here. They all performed remarkably, as one. Different services, different uniforms, but united in body and spirit, no inter-service rivalry for such a remarkable and poignant occasion. Isn't that right, crabfat?? 😉
I'm retired British Army. We may all have inter-service rivalry, but it is only banter. Stand-by to anyone that is not a Veteran that goes against any one of us.
The point here is that the Royal Navy is known as the senior service -hence it would lead the gun carraige.
I was one of the 300,000 people who went to see our Queen.
Seven hours and twenty two minutes, a day I shall never forget.
What a ceremony, loved your coverage, even if it's a sad reason to find you, I'm glad I did.
I was in the queue for 11.5 hours was an honour to have been able to pay my respects
I did a full 24 hours! It was one of the most moving experiences of my life. Even now, hearing the pipes start up gives me chills and I can feel the drums making my bones literally shake. I really felt like I was carrying a weight for a few weeks afterwards, it was such a powerful experience. What an extraordinary woman, leader and example to the world🙌🏼
I've been amazed how many Americans have asked why pipe band was playing 😂 Quit simply, she was our Queen too. What a send off she was given, well deserved 👌
Where "our", presumably. means Scots.
That final bagpiper was the Queen's personal bagpiper who would wake her at the same time whenever she was at Balmoral. I cried at that point as it was his final time playing for her.
Totally broke me
He also played every day under her bedroom window from 9.00am until 9.15am wherever she was. He wasn't allowed to play the same tune throught a week. He travelled with her wherever she went.
He did the same at Philips funeral and when he turned round and left the building it was heart braking💔😢😢
Me too.
That bit truly got me. I'm a little miffed he fast forwarded that.
The passing of the queen was akin to losing my own mother ....very very sad ....shes been apart of the British identity for so long ....a lot of Brits loved her very much ❤️😔🥹 I still get very emotional about this 😪
My wife and I waited 14 hours to walk past to pay our respect and I'd do it again tomorrow if we had to.
Tyler, you skipped through all of the best parts. You skipped past the Archbishop of Canterbury, using his speech to admonish the bad world leaders, using the Queens’s reign as an example of good leadership. Telling them to the faces. Something the people is countries like Saudi Arabia would end up tortured in prison for doing, or dead.
You also missed the ‘full version’ of the British National anthem, written for trumpet and church organs, which is very rarely played, which has both the first and second verses of the National Anthem, which you probable have not heard before. Something you are not likely to hear again, apart from this recording. It’s starts just after the fanfare following the 2 minutes silence, which you skipped past.
You then skipped past all of the people lining the streets on the journey of the hearse car to Windsor Castle.
You also skipped too far forward, and missed the point where the Queen, becomes a woman’ against, when her Royal Regalia is removed from her coffin and she officially ceases to me the monarch. You see the ‘crown powers’ being taken away from her. You watched the end of it, starting with the sceptre being placed on the High Alter. But missed that start of it.
and the lone piper(Queens personal piper who woke her every morning) playing whilst walking away has a profound meaning as its his last time playing for the Queen.
So much to see from start to finish. So much love and respect on display. Tyler try to watch more of it, you would make a very worthwhile video just using parts that you skipped through.
1st and 3rd verses. Not 2nd.
he missed a lot of the best stuff
@@vallee3140 yes!! Every time he jumped ahead I was like …”No!! Go back!! You missed something really important !!” Lol
Also, there was commentary during the video he was watching. A lot of his questions were answered just through the commentary. Sigh …. Oh, well.
Since it has been 70 years since the last monarch died, this funeral was a once in a lifetime for most of us. It was a truly remarkable event. God Bless Our Queen. Now we will say God Bless Our King.
The soldiers carrying the Queen were amazing- not one mistake all day with full focus on them millions around the world watching. Good job 👍🇬🇧
Sadly, one of them took his life a week later. He was found in the army's barracks. Ever so sad.
@@loulouboivin28 A guardsman, not one of the pall bearers.
Her bagpipe player, playing for her one last time as her coffin was lowered... sent me into tears, hearing and watching those bagpipes fade away. RIP Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. From an American
It's called an Abbey because it use to be attached to a monastery, before Henry VIII dissolved it in 1539. Edward the Confessor began building it in 1042. Since the coronation of William the Conqueror in 1066, all coronations of English and British monarchs have occurred in Westminster Abbey. Sixteen royal weddings have occurred at the Abbey since 1100. There were 2000 people in attendance (the max capacity). The man walking in after Princess Anne was her husband, Sir Timothy Laurence. You can see representatives from all the other royal houses there as well; Kings and Queens or (Crown Prince) of Sweden, Norway, Denmark, The Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Luxembourg, as well as some now defunct royal houses. The service itself is an Anglican service, since the Queen was the Head of the Church of England.
informative comment, but he doesn't read any comments on any of his other "american reacts" youtube channels either. He's in it for the numbers game and google paycheques, homie.
@@michael_177 Ah. It's a shame when reactors don't read comments.
There was a church already there, built by, I believe King Edgar?? Not sure, but one of ghe saxon Kings. So a lot older than 1042.
@@pamelabackshell5757 Yes but I was talking about the current building.
@@michael_177 Of course he's hoping to make some money. But why shouldn't he? He's doing it well and I appreciate it - I've learnt quite a few things, and I'm a Brit.
Proud to be British
I knew I would be upset when the Queen died, but I was in tears the whole time,I was affected so much more than I thought I would be
Hi Tyler I've loved your reaction videos to the funeral of our Queen. Can I firstly say thank you for your respect that you gave the Royal Family plus us as a nation as we morn our Queen. It has been an unprecedented couple of weeks and we can only describe it as losing a grandmother, she was always there and never put a foot wrong and so many wonderful stories have been told from her staff and security which we have loved hearing. I sat like the whole of the UK and watched from 10am until 6pm and found it so moving, what's 8 hours of sitting when she gave us 70yrs and I'd do it all again. Every member of the UK can be very proud of themselves yesterday they were respectful and courteous to one another and as a nation we were as one, saying goodbye to our Queen.
I was one of those staff I was a Houskeeper at Buckingham palace for 3 years, she was wonderful boss so kind!!!!
The crown, orb and sceptre are indeed incredible. The estimated value of just the Cullinan 1 & 2 diamonds in the sceptre and crown is in the region of $500M. The ruby in the crown was worn by King Henry V at the battle of Agincourt in 1415. These objects are quite literally priceless.
To add to this, the sapphire on the top of the crown was taken from the ring of Edward the Confessor, who died in 1066. never mind the actual value of the raw jewels, their meaning and history mean they are literally priceless, as are many of the items of state.
@@stevehowe8218 And when King Charles III is crowned next year he will sit on St Edward's Chair. Below the Chair is set the Stone of Destiny. This was the Stone taken from Scotland by Edward I of England in 1296. Prior to that Kings of Scots were crowned seated upon it back to the mid 9th century and before that, possibly back to the 6th century, the Kings of Dalriada, a small pre Scottish kingdom based in Argyll. Legend says that the Stone was brought from Ireland by St. Columba.
Indeed priceless
One of the pallbearers carrying the Queen’s coffin was from my town of Morpeth, Northumberland. He did our county and country proud
What a very great honour. I would be so proud.
At the end, the part played by the piper is very, very moving and emotional. He plays a lament and as he walks along the corridor and goes through to the outside, the music gets fainter and fainter till there is silence. Later in the evening, the immediate family returned for the final private committal in the vault. Thank you for your comments, happy you understand us a bit better.
The Bearer Party are my heroes from all of this. Honestly …. They had THE most important duty, the most nerve wracking duty, and the most intimate duty throughout all the proceeding of the 11 days leading up to the funeral and the internment at Windsor. My heart was in my mouth EVERY time they had to move the casket. And the stairs!! SO MANY STAIRS!!! Whyyyy so many stairs 😩lol. They were superb. They were impeccable. So many important eyes on them. And the body of their Queen, The Boss. I mean ….. IMO no one had to endure more pressure than these fine young soldiers. I really hope they get special commendation for their service. I know it’s an honour and they would never think of it any other way, but I for one cannot express enough my gratitude at how they conducted such a deeply moving and important duty and want them to be recognized for it. Also, the British Monarch is the Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church of England, so yes, it’s always going to be a Christian service. I understand you couldn’t watch the whole thing especially for a reaction video, but honestly, there is SO much history, symbolism, so many touching and meaningful aspects and details to the entirety of what happened. I mean, the flowers at Windsor, her pony Emma waiting at the side of the drive, her corgis …. The King saluting the cenotaph as they processed past …. All the symbolism in the details of the internment …. Augh. Just so much to absorb. It’s going to take me days or maybe weeks to just let it all settle. I’ll never forget this event so long as I live. I wish more of our society still valued tradition and symbolism etc this much. I know it can be oppressive but if done well, it just brings so much depth and meaning to the rhythms and seasons of life.
The bearers are back in service in Iraq now.
They received a decoration for their service that day. I agree they were wonderful.
My father JOE HULL became a Grenadier Guardsman in 1937 as part of the third Bat. & served for 7yrs & 109 days. Before going to war in Sept 1939 where he lost his left leg above the knee, one of his duties was guarding the royal family at Windsor Castle which was of course HOME for Elizabeth. He witnessed & had to protect Elizabeth & her younger sister when they were playing in the grounds sometimes riding around on their bikes. After being involved in at least 5 actions with the B.E.F. he spent over 3 & a half years as a P.O.W. mainly in Stalag 8B Poland.
Respect to your father & Thank you
Beautiful
Bless your Father. My Dad was a Coldstream Guard and served in Palestine. We owe all service men and women a great debt ❤❤❤
You must be very proud , respect to your late Father , he was of a fine calibre of men sadly long gone. 😔
Much respect to your father for his service & devotion. 🙏
I am proud to be British, yesterday was very sad to say goodbye to our Queen.
A demonstration of the love and respect for the Queen’s lifetime of dedicated service to and for her country. Thank you.
Her Late Majesty was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland). This is a full State Funeral, the first since that of Sir Winston Churchill in 1965 and has been planned in minute detail for many years. Westminster Abbey has been the place where our Kings and Queens have been crowned since that of William The Conqueror on Christmas Day 1066. The Queen was crowned here in 1953 and the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III is likely to take place there next year. The King is, like is late mother Head of the Church of England and the Kings and Queens have been since Henry VIII split from the Church of Rome in 1534. The Orb and Sceptre are given to the Sovereign during the Coronation. Westminster Hall dates back to the reign of King William II in 1097 and is the oldest part of the Palace of Westminster which includes the Houses of Parliament. The Abbey was built between 1042 and 1052 by King Edward The Confessor. St George’s Chapel was started in 1475. The Crown Jewels (the Imperial State Crown, the Orb and Sceptre) are returned to the vault in the Tower of London where they will go back on display to the public. The full regalia will be used during His Majesty’s Coronation. Her Majesty was temporarily laid to rest in the Royal Vault before a private burial with her husband the Duke of Edinburgh in the King George VI Memorial Chapel which took place at 7:30 pm last night which was only attended by her close family.
Thank you for joining with us as we said farewell to our Queen Elizabeth. God save the King
The walk down the mall after the funeral was unbelievable and also the run into Windsor.
Thank you so much Tyler for your very sympathetic appreciation of probably the finest monarch this country has ever had. She never put a foot wrong. We will miss her enormously, but we are sure that our dear new king, Charles III, will follow her wonderful example.
Dr Stuart Hobday
The problem is, you keep asking questions then you skip right over the parts that would give you answers.
Not thousands, over 1 million poeple came to London to watch the funeral and show their respect to the Queen....
my family watched this yesterday, it was so emotional because we loved her so much,
This is history, pageantry, tradition, and ritual that binds the people to its past, present & future.
You missed the very final part: -
"She enters the grave as Elizabeth - a simple Christian soul"
Her faith was so very strong to her; I think thus was a fitting tribute to a wonderful woman My Queen, Monarch & Head of state.
My father is a former Grenadier Guards man - to see his Colour being placed on Her Majesty's coffin was so emotional. The whole event was a sight to behold - I could wax lyrical to be honest. All I shall say for now "Thank you ma'am - for everything " xxXxx
The most moving part of the day was when the coffin slowly lowered into the vault the soldier was one of 200 people who had been awarded the Victoria cross or the George cross two of the highest honours in the UK there were 2000 people at Westminster Abbey
If you're speaking about the Piper playing the lament, he was her personal one, he woke her up every morning when she was staying at Balmoral
Not just in Balmoral, everyday, went wherever she was
The coffin was made of English oak and lead lined. The reason for the Royal Navy pulling the Gun Carriage is during Queen Victoria's funeral the Horses bolted and were replaced by Royal Navy Officers, less likely to bolt. Tradition has been continued. The Victorians tidied up the service and embellished it, as now it is rehearsed. Scotland is part of UK, last king of England died on the battlefield of Bosworth in 1485, Tudors were Welsh, next were Stewart, Scottish. The woman was Liz Truss our new PM.
I suggest you spend a couple of minutes watching the video to its end. Listening to the piper gradually walking into the distance as the coffin is lowered is very moving. A theatrical but moving experience.
You skipped the most emotional part. Soon as they carried her through the door, psalm 121 erupted, was beautiful and heart wrenching
There were 2000 people at the funeral service in Westminster Abbey, a few less later at St George's Chapel, Windsor. And yes, the choral singing is beautiful. Such an amazing place...
If that is really what Americans think, then they are truly ignorant.
The Woman at 23:45 is Liz Truss who is the new Prime Minister of the UK, she was appointed by the Queen only 2 days before she died.
Glad you enjoyed it but I feel you missed much of the best bits .The parade down the Mall and the crowds who lined the entire route to Windsor would give a better picture of what she meant to the people .It wasnt 10's of thousands it was 100's of thousands.
The Queen’s mother was Scottish. The new King and his siblings and his two sons, William and Harry, also walked behind Her Majesty’s coffin, the whole way. Her Majesty’s lead-lined coffin weighed around 550lb. The Monarch his Head of the Protestant Church of England. Over 500 members of royal families, presidents, Prime Ministers, and dignitaries attended from almost every nation on earth. Such was the respect for our Queen whose statesmanship and diplomacy, world wide, is unrivalled.
4 billion watched the funeral worldwide. Thats unbelievable but pleased they wanted to celebrate the Queens life which was rich and full and spent in the service of her country and the Commonwealth.
I was wondering what the numbers were. Though I knew it was going to HUGE.
I too am so pleased that so many people around the world watched, that is an immense number and a one that I think reflects how much the Queen was loved, respected and admired.
It was so emotional watching yday. I'm so glad I did. I watched from 10am right up until the end at 5pm when the Royal family left for the private ceremony. It was a historical moment, and an absolutely befitting, tribute to 'The,' Queen.
She inspired billion's of woman all over the world. If it was not for her the free world would be a lot different. She faught for freedom. She is literally the bridge in history. She knew Winston Churchill. Which now I understand why she choose Princess Diana. She will be remembered forever. We will continue throughout the years all of the good she has done in this world and maybe some not so good. I feel bad for judging her for waiting 5 days to mention Diana. I was 16 when she passed and was heartbroken and listened to the rumors that were told. I learned later that was not true because she had 2 young boys who she loved and they needed cared for more than what the public needed. As an adult I now understand. She was a smart, strong beautiful, wise woman who seen so many changes.
India is a Commonwealth country and has 1.4 billion people alone so I would say that boosted the numbers a fair bit.
The "200" invited were 183 people who had been honoured in the Queen's Birthday Honours in June this year. Which will include many people recognised for their work in the community. Lots of bagpipes, because Elizabeth was also the Queen of Scotland.
People were invited from Australia 🇦🇺 Canada 🇨🇦 and many other countries for service to the Community.

You show a great amount of respect and you seem as polite as we Canadians are thought to be. No offense taken at all the way you moved through certain parts. I love your enthusiasm at learning!
Hi Tyler, I really enjoyed watching your reaction to our Queen’s funeral. Please if you find time watch all of it, it will surprise you in many ways and hopefully give you a better understanding of everything.My family and I watched it all, cried a lot but it also gave everyone a chance to say farewell to our amazing monarch. She is much loved and will be sadly missed, now after 70 years of service she can rest 😢.
Tyler, I am impressed by yur desire to learn, but you are barely scraping the
surface. The Monarchy, and what it means and stands for for the people of these Islands, the Commonwealth of 53 countries etc. etc. you gloss over as if it is just a by product. Not your fault, I u nderstand Americans know nothing much of the world outside its own borders, which is such a shame.
Particularly as your country, as it is now, is the child of the British
Empire. May I humbly suggest you do a little more research on the
the British , their commonwealth etc. to get even a glimmer of its deep
meaning to us. Thank you though for trying.

Only just started watching your video and already I know I am going to enjoy it. Having watched everything “live” since Her Majesty’s death, it is always refreshing to hear the the respectful views that you give. Thank you. May Her Majesty Rest in Peace & God save The King.
Thanks Peter I appreciate it.
British history has long been filled with pageantry, pomp and circumstance, especially with regard to Church, Royalty and Military, and they have done it impeccably. Months of training, rehearsals and meetings have preceded such events to make sure each and every person knows their part and is in the right place at the right time. Perfection. You can see it best in the funeral processions - The Queen’s casket being transported to Westminster Hall, then days later, to Westminster Abbey, etc.
4 billion people watched this and billions mourned world wide for our majesty the QUEEN
You literally jump past my favourite bit when the hearse drives through London and drives through the British public in the street when they are throwing flowers on her car
Tyler, thank you for your respectful reaction from an American perspective.
I appreciate its a really long recording but you honestly ff through most if the best bits.
Hi, Perth, Western Australia here, 😄. Have watched the news on her passing & funeral over the past week. Myself & hubby were surprised to find ourselves emotional when we first heard the news and also whilst watching her funerary arrangements these past 4 days. What an incredibly stoic and woman of principle she was. It's rare to find someone of her calibre & I feel that we'll never look upon her 'like' again. We are in our 50's and she was someone always in the background of our lives, in a way. The future doesn't seem as certain as it use to, but I'm glad she has graduated into the Heavenlies. Thanks for making these reactionary videos. God Bless xo
I live and born in Australia 🇦🇺. H.M. Queen Elizabeth ll has been Head of State and Monarch. I had come in contact with the Queen when touring Australia 🇦🇺.
My Brother in Law was a member of Royal Protection Household (Metropolitan Police London). Being Monarch and Head of State of 15 Countries .The Queen was head of the Commonwealth consisting of 56 Countries.
Our Queen deserved all of this she done so much for our country my grandad served the Queen and he is heartbroken and seeing all the ex soldiers and army vets paying there respects before the funeral broke my heart it feels like a part of your family is gone not having our Christmas speech every year all the bright coloured clothes her smile which could brighten anyones day😢 Thank you ma'am for everything 🇬🇧❤️👑🙏🏻
One of the pallbearers, Fletcher Cox, is from Jersey, where I'm from. He's only nineteen and joined the military and finally the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards right after leaving school.
I’m from Jersey too. Very proud of this young man
Thank you for showing our Queen Elizabeth II your humble respect. I was fortunate as a teenager to see her walk past us as we stood either side of the path she walked along with
Prince Philip at Caroline Bay in Timaru. And as a young mother, I was able to see her in Christchurch and take a close-up photo of her from about four feet away when she paused to speak to the person in a wheelchair in front of me. She was truly a beautiful lady, very gracious and warm-hearted. In person, you could see her delicate "peaches and cream" complexion. Thanks once again for doing this reaction, although I watched her funeral on the day, you actually did me a great favor of matching the timeline to the video and helping me to appreciate the whole procedure more fully. Kind regards from Rae Ward in New Zealand 🇳🇿 ❤❤❤
Maybe I should remind you that bagpipes are Scottish and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth was also Queen of Scots, she chose to live her last days in that country too. The Union of Great Britain is a Union between England Scotland and Wales. She was not just Queen of England.
Being Scottish and against the SNP nazi's it is also good to mention that the Union was a Scottish invention.
By the way it must be mentioned that bagpipes are not per-sé Scottish. In fact Scotland was one of the last countries to adopt the bagpipes. Indeed the great highland pipes GHP are indeed Scottish. But this is only one type of MANY types of bagpipes. Only the GHP, scottish smallpipes and border pipes can be considered Scottish. The majority of bagpipes are continental
Right. She was America's Queen as well. Lol
And Ireland play bagpipes 🤦♀️
@@Grumpy63uk The ones being played at the Queen's funeral and the ones most commonly played and better-known throughout the English speaking world are the Highland Bagpipes. Some versions of Bagpipes have been used as far back as Ancient Greece. The Irish Bagpipes known as Uilleann Pipes are more similar to the English Northumbrian Pipes or Scottish small pipes, and are different to the more well-known Highland Bagpipes which were used at the Queen's funeral
The Orb and Sceptre are the symbols of the Crown which are used during the Coronation ceremony. The Crown and the sceptre have on them the two largest diamonds in the world cut from the Cullinan diamond which weighed 3.100 carats and was cut into two large diamonds one on the Imperial State Crown and the second on the Orb and many smaller ones. These items are the symbols of the Crown and are used for the coronation service. The service at St. George’s Chapel was attended by 800 people and the one at Westminster Abbey was attended by 2000 guests
Thank you so much for covering this event with dignity. ir was very sad and moving watching this live here in the UK and am happy that you have seen this. Thank you
Thanks for watching this Tyler, it's much appreciated. 🌹
I just wanted to say thankyou for being so respectful and genuine in the filming of this video. Also over not just millions but 5.1 billion people watched the funeral across the globe thats over 61% of the entire worlds population!!! here are a couple facts for you about the casket. The queens casket was built 30 years ago using all english oak, it is also fully lead lined and without the queen within it it weighed just over 250kg and when she was in it will have weighed over 300kg. all the young men carrying it should be extremely proud of themselves for how carefully, respectfully and gracefully they went about their duty, they did her proud!
I watched from 5.30am. Biden was late and had to wait. Queen was a stickler for time. It was so emotional so sad so proud of all our armed services for their honour to the Queen. The lowering of the coffin and the lone piper is heartfelt
The courtesy of Kings, Punctuality.
Actually news is he and the First Lady were early not late. They just had to wait befoe being escorted to their seats.
I found it amazing how well poor Prince George and Princess Charlotte did to lose your beloved grannie but then have to attend a funeral service with thousands of eyes on you and billions more on tv.
Great Grannie.🌷
Elizabeth II was a magnificent ruler. Devoted her life to her calling....gentle but strong...unrivalled integrity!
from Oz (Australia)
I was so fortunate to have served Her Majesty in the RAF. She was my boss. I have cried way more for her than many of my relatives. She has made history many times over. I was so fortunate to have her for the 67 years of my life.
RIP Your Majesty.
Per Ardua ad Astra.
The navy walked with the Queen because they're the oldest branch of the armed forces. It goes in historical placement
I viewed every minute broadcast through the whole week because I loved Her Late Majesty, and because from the time when I was a child, I have absorbed every major historical event. Every moment was meaningful and special. It was good to re-visit this with you, Tyler. I was not aware of your internet presence at the time, or, I would likely have joined you then. I hope that at some point, if you have not, will take the time to watch and take in the whole of the proceedings. It would be quite an undertaking, but I believe it important to fully absorb our history in order to become our fullest selves. I pray that you are well. After watching so many of your videos at this point, while I don't, I kind of feel that I know you. Weird, that. Peace
The pallbearers were the closest gaurds to the Queen. She was their direct boss...and have been there, literally every step of the way
Rest in peace Queen. A remarkable woman.
HMQ was Queen of Scotland. Her mother was a Scot - Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. The Queen had her own piper who played the bagpipes every morning at 9am.
I know you can’t watch it all but You skipped past 2 of the most solemn parts of the day at Westminster abbey the queens piper playing “sleep dearie sleep” and then at Windsor chapel the queens piper playing the final lament.
Those two moments are extra special because the queens piper woke her up every morning and then he played her to her final rest.
The two minutes silence in the State Funeral Service was a national two minutes across the UK. People were watching the Service on screens in towns and villages throughout.
Appreciate that you covered edited highlights in your reaction video, but just to say, the procession from Westminster Abbey to the Wellington Arch was truly magnificent and you skipped pretty much all of that.
You also mentioned near the end of your video that some Americans wondered if this was more 'a front' rather than real. I can assure you that [as you yourself have understood] for the majority of UK people (and around the Commonwealth / beyond) this was a heartfelt loss - the numbers of people who paid their respects, the people who have memories or connections to the Queen, the exemplary discipline and sheer excellence of our armed forces - made me and I'm sure millions of British people extremely proud that the Queen's passing has been honoured in this way. Not to mention the Royal Family and how perfectly they conducted themselves at this difficult time for them.
You would surely have a heart of stone if you did not have a tear in your eye at the final piper's playing as he slowly left the chapel.
Regards, John (UK)
The funeral was a precision operation between all the Armed Forces of the U.K. and Commonwealth and the Police and Spy’s! It ran without a hitch!!! Her Majesty would be very pleased with the whole day!! The piper at the end got me. Prince George and Princess Charlotte walked behind their Gan-Gans casket. They did her proud today!! Our Queen can trace her lineage back in Scotland her mother was a Scot she loves Scotland!!
Her Queen Mother's father was a Scot, but her mother was English and she was born in England. That makes her more English that Scottish. The Queen could trace her lineage back to many places - including the Tudors, from who she is directly descended.
I always said, that the Queen is respected by everyone all over the world. Her funeral proves just how much reach she had around the world and the people who wanted to pay their last farewell to her. Only a few months ago the national anthem was beingg booed. I don't know how long it will last, but the last match we had, people were proud to sing it for their country. The Queen resided a lot in Scotland and she loved the bag pipes. Her alarm in the morning was to be woken by the sound of someone playing the bagpipes in the morning. Harry stepped down from Royal Duty when he decided to move to America. He wanted to be a part time royal but the Queen said the service to the Queen isn't part time. He either does it full time or not at all. So he made the decision to move to America. He was allowed to wear his uniform when he partook in the Queen lying in state, as was his Uncle Prince Andrew. The King allowed it as it was honoring The Queen and protecting her coffin. That is the only time both were allowed to wear full military regalia. Pretty sure when King Charles III dies, Prince William would probably allow Harry to wear the uniform again.
Don't agree with you on your last sentence.
You think? William won't . He's more loyal.
The Queen was the Head of the Church of England and Defender of the Faith. She was deeply religious as was her funeral. She planned the service with the former Archbishop of York, John Sentamu. She didn’t want the service to be too long and depressing. I think she struck the right chord. It was simply beautiful.
The Crown jewels are kept usually at the Tower of London. They are indeed passed down to each Monarch . I found the removal of the regalia from the coffin ,very moving... cried my eyes out.
Hey Tyler, I live in Windsor and as you can imagine it's been an emotional time here! It's great to see you take such an interest and learning the history surrounding the royals. To me, the Queens death doesn't feel like losing a family member, it feel's like losing a part of my national identity, part of me feels missing now which I was not expecting to feel to be honest. She was a great head of state and did all of us proud! One of my favourite moments was her funny skit with Prince Harry and the Obamas doing the "mic drop", I was wondering if you've seen that before?
The fake history
@@k-9lover5349 Go on, tell us what historical events didn't really happen.
@@k-9lover5349 nice try Karen 😜
@@k-9lover5349 I can assure you none of our history in the United Kingdom is fake.
@@k-9lover5349 jealousy is a sad thing , you have nothing in your life !!!
It never fails to make me cry. Seeing this honoured bearer party (they were exemplary). Then the entrance to the Abbey. That choir song when the coffin is brought in, makes me cry because it's so evocative and moving. It reminds me of my Beloved Maternal Grandparents joint-funeral (March 9th 2021) i lost my grandparents to the Coronavirus pandemic in late January 2021. Rest In Peace Your Beloved Majesty Queen Elizabeth II; My Grandfather Leslie John Robertson and My Grandmother Irene Elsie Robertson. Never forget that I miss you so much
You did really well picking out the key parts of the day. The coffin was lowered to a 'large basement level'. I saw a 3-D render of the vault chapel below where the Royal Family gathered for a final private service before the Queen's coffin was moved into the Royal Vault itself alongside her late husband Prince Philip, duke of Edinburgh, her father, King George VI, her late sister Princess Margaret and I believe her late mother, The Queen Mother. The Royal Vault must clearly be quite large.
Good job Tyler and thank you for another very respectful video reaction. Hope you can visit the UK 🇬🇧 someday and perhaps visit Westminster Abbey and Windsor Castle in person.
Both buildings are around 1000 years old.
love watching your videos. you are so respectful to our Royal family and our history. thankyou for that 😊
The pall bearers were serving in Iraq up until 10 days ago.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police were also part of the procession. Great honour for Canadians to serve our Queen one last time. ❤ I really enjoy your videos.
It was lovely to see the Canadian Mounted Police there
It really feels like Your Nana died. It's incredible the things she saw and did thru her years. May You Rest Easy Queen it's time for You to be with Your' King. 💜💜💜💜
I do know that there is one particular bagpipe player that does a solo for the Queen. His job was to be her human alarm clock. That was his job. He played starting at 9a and played until exactly 9:15. Let me stress this EVERY SINGLE DAY he did this. Fun fact for the day!
