So surreal to think, just like today, an era ended. She was the only monarch nearly anyone alive could remember having, Many people, just as today, had the surreal feeling of singing "God Save the King" for the first time.
My mother in law at 92 was born in George V’s reign, and there are others who are older that are still alive; David Attenborough is still here at 96, for instance.
Surely more like predictable reality than 'intense dreamlike irrationality' (surreal)?
Bet back in Victorias time , we didnt have the anti royal gob brigade, respect and discipline were paramount back then.
Also they are followed by sons who have been embroiled in scandal, although Edward VII was far worse than Charles III
My mother (age 96 - still living) was born here in NZ under George V's reign. Always loved HMTQ - as do most NZ'ers. There will never be another like her. God Bless Your Majesty - back where you belong. Long live the King!
Who would have thought in 2020 I would be looking at people who were born in 1820s. There are older men in their 70 and 80 in the footage
Yes. Everyone in the film is long term dead. But isn't it well that we get to see them?
When you getting older. Than you like to watch dead people. So you always know where your life ends
Victoria was 81 when she died so 70s is younger
People will think the same of your comment in 2220.
Who would have cared, really? You are not all that important.
Apparently, Queen Victoria's family had no plan to follow. All she wrote was that she wanted a military style funeral. No one knew how to do it. This is the reason why it looks kinda chaotic and unpolished.
Compared to now where everything is meticulously planned and rehearsed. Incredible logistical exercise.
>Says she wants a military style funeral
>refuses to elaborate
Chad move
The last funeral of a UK monarch was in 1837 (Victoria's uncle, William IV). No one remembered what the protocol was.
Ditto for Edward VII's coronation 1902: the last coronation was in 1838 (Victoria). No one knew what to wear or what the protocol was.
It's amazing that so much film footage exists of Queen Victoria's funeral procession exists, given that this was way back in 1901, and motion picture technology was still in its infancy at this point. Having watched the funeral procession for Queen Elizabeth just a few days ago, it's really interesting to notice how little has actually changed in regards to the pageantry, military outfits and funeral processions for deceased royals. I bet that this film footage would look even more similar to the modern era if someone took the time to colorize it and slow it down to normal speed. Just like with Elizabeth's passing, Victoria's death truly signaled the end of an era in Britain, and I'm sure back then, people also keenly felt the loss of a beloved, long-reigning monarch. Two remarkable female rulers, two centuries apart, who had both definitely made their mark on the world scene. RIP to Victoria and her great-granddaughter, Elizabeth.
The biggest difference was that royal standard with the crown, etc was removed from the coffin and carried separately up the church stairs whereas with Queen Elizabeth they were carried together.
Elizabeth II was a great-great granddaughter of Victoria.
Also I believe Victoria's funeral was the first time the gun carriage and coffin were pulled by naval cadets. This was unplanned as apparently the horses bolted somewhere near Windsor and some naval cadets who were lining the parade route were called in to pull the gun carriage the rest of the way. Which is why they are rather haphazard and not as regimented as at Queen Elizabeth's funeral. After Victoria's funeral all monarchs coffins have been pulled by the naval cadets.
@@jacintabyline "Ratings" not "cadets." I find that custom rather moving, assuming that the ratings don't have to work too hard.

My grandfather saw the procession as a seven year old
The family had come up from Sussex for the event. He sat on his fathers shoulders to see past the cordon of soldiers on the side of the road. It was a bitterly cold day and his father took his coat off and put it around my grandfathers shoulders, then he buttoned it up. My great grandfather peering through the gap in the buttons to see.

Just been watching Queen Elizabeth s funeral and now watching this.
Can't get over how things are similar in a lot of ways yet different in others!
And yes, in a 120 years time I hope people are watching the scenes from today.
Same. So touching. I was curious as to what horses did to make the change to navy to pull carriage, had no idea this was new. From all the ppl turning up in support, and all those taking part, its been a remarkable historical event.
@@catha5411 apparently, the navy pulling the carriage is characteristic of a state funeral, usually only granted to the monarch and a few exceptional people (i.e. Churchill). You can check their funerals out and compare to funerals like that of Diana or Thatcher. Hope that helps!
to add, apparently queen Victoria wanted to be buried "like the daughter of a soldier" so her own state funeral had more of a military style, rather than a standard state funeral style
@@Hmmmmmmm02 thank you. History is defiantly not my strongest subject but its the details like this which I find most fascinating.
@@catha5411 According to the commentary during the queen's funeral today, the reason naval ratings pulled the gun carriage at Victoria's funeral, was because the horses were playing up and they had to change plans at the last minute. ! I don't think it had been done before.
A truly symbolic moment. The end of an era.

It's surprising how disorganized everything is, compared to the Funeral of Queen Elizabeth. The British royals realize that in the age of TV and internet, when billions of people are watching and the cameras capture everything, there should not be a single wrong move. The level of perfection they've achieved is astonishing. Elizabeth's funeral was the greatest show on earth.
I don’t think it was as disorganised as these close clips may ‘indicate’. In fact, I think of it as merely representing the way things ‘were’ then - not forgetting the scapes and lack of technology etc. etc. Wonderfully ‘authentic’ - also, that old film looks more static than real life ☺️
Keep in mind, too, that the old silent films tended to make footage jumpier and more distorted than today's modern films, and they also made everyone appear to be moving faster. The funeral procession of Queen Victoria's time was also probably very dignified and precise; it's just harder to tell with this old footage!
I was looking at the horsemen and those marching. It looked as if many of the men were heavier than those we saw in Queen Elizabeth's funeral. It was a bitterly cold day in 1901, reportedly, so perhaps everyone was wearing layers of clothing. I did notice one horse acting up. His rider was very portly! I wonder what music was playing. It must have been difficult back then for many people to have traveled from afar to pay respects. Amazing that in many aspects the funerals were similar except I felt that Queen Elizabeth's was a bit more precise. The men marched in sync. Perhaps these had practiced more. Communication today is so much better. It was a blend of the traditional with a bit more modern. Both visually stunning.
It was actually Queen Victoria’s son that implemented the precision pomp and circumstance now associated with the Royal Family.
@@camillep9346 I agree. Plus, this was all filmed at low level, much of the footage last week was aerial. That always looks calmer than if you have a camera among the crowds.
Not in any way to detract from Queen Victoria’s funeral, I was so impressed with the precision of all the military participating in Queen Elizabeth II’d funeral. Comparing the two, the standards of marching, of presentation have clearly risen in the intervening years. Queen Elizabeth’s guard was amazing to behold during the broadcast.
Exactly what I thought, they look like they’re sauntering along.
The marching standard was much better for George VI than Elizabeth II.
I agree, Queen Victoria's funeral frankly looks like a shambles. The later ones - including Elizabeth II - were spectacular. Very well planned and executed near flawlessly.
I thought the same! Everything in Queen Victoria’s funeral parade seemed much more casual and inattentive.
I was wondering if the advent of TV means that standards for this kind of thing rose. So much more scrutiny.
Amazing that EVERY single person in this footage is long dead
As we who are now watching it will soon be!Death he is the great equaliser to be sure,whether you be of noble birth or not.
Damn death not fking around!
Including the horses
Amazing film of this early historic event, and yes I felt the same - they have all gone before us, history in pictures .
Not too amazing given that this happened 119 years ago. And, sadly, it might not be too long until we see another funeral procession of similar, if not bigger, proportions, given that HM The Queen is now almost 94 years old.

Queen Victoria acended to the throne in 1837 when Lord Melbourne was the PM and was crowned in 1838.Two years later in February 1840 she married Prince Albert who was given the title of consort.
Queen Victoria was eighty one when she passed away in January 1901 thus heralded the end of the Victorian period.
And the beginning of the Edwardian period
It was if Queen Victoria's death in January marked a change in attitude of Kaiser Wilhem William(1859-1941)who was the grandchild of the deceased Queen.The Kaiser had this enormous respect for Queen Victoria and then after her death the Kaiser adopted a hostile attitude towards Britain especially Queen Victoria's eldest son King Edward VII and thereafter King George V.
It was the Kaiser's aggressive foreign policy and his hostility towards Britain that was one of the factors that led to the outbreak of the Great War in 1914.
The Kaiser was at odds with Britain his ambitious naval expension and had once remarked,"Germany cannot be a super power unless the trident is in our hands."
You seem to be quite knowledgeable; can you tell me where the procession was headed? I know she died on one of the channel islands. Is this taking place in London? Also i have seen pictures of their tomb at Frogmore, was she taken directly there? Thank you. I apologize for my ignorance.
@@yiseng4602 I agree with what you say about George V but disagree about Edward VII. I think Willie had a great admiration for his "Uncle Bertie" and as such, Edward made visits to Germany and kept communication open to stave off war. I think it was after HE died that all hell broke loose with the Kaiser. Even when Queen Victoria was alive tensions were deep. Remember those letters that the Queens daughter Vickie had smuggled out of Germany for fear her son the Kaiser would use them against England even though they were personal correspondence?
@@madamvaudelune3298 She died at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight. Her funeral service was at St George's Chapel which is where Prince Philips funeral has just taken place. Then she was buried with Prince Albert in frogmore mausoleum in the grounds of frogmore. It was built in 1862 a year after Albert died in tribute to him and the Queen was finally reunited with him on her death in February 1901. Apparently you can visit the graves and the mausolem for a fee. It's supposed to be really beautifully and has stunning artwork. A real tribute to Prince Albert
My great grandmother was born on this day and I knew her as a very young child. Now, every person in that video is dead and the vast majority will have been dead for decades. It’s strange to think how quickly people become history.
The film is remarkably clear.
Wow, Queen Victoria’s funeral march is pretty much what people will be seeing in person and on TV this coming Monday for Queen Elizabeth II with her imperial state crown, scepter and flag draped over her coffin just like Victoria’s and all the military and dignitaries in procession. Amazing the continuity there is in Victoria’s and Elizabeth’s funerals over 100 years time span. It’s like time traveling between the two Queen’s funerals. Fascinating.
currently watching both at once
I just watched part of her father's funeral, George VI, and it looked just like Queen Elizabeth's today. We will never see something like this again. Charles will not make it to a long reign.

I’m glad that someone posted this. I love history and this is very fascinating to see footage of Queen Victoria’s funeral. She was one of the most iconic Queens to reign in England and now Queen Elizabeth II ranks up there with her.
She was queen of the united kingdom and was never crowned queen of england.
My grandmother use to talk about Queen Victoria. Such regard all based on a portrait of a Queen. There was such regard and faith. We have been fortunate to have Queen Elizabeth II in our lives and her funeral broadcast.
This was recorded 120 years back. Unbelievable
Someday I'm gonna tell my children that I was here and saw queen Elizabeth and the historic moment that it was when she passed. So strange , how can you miss someone that you didn't even know?
@Helen McCabe it was a rhetorical question relating to their own feelings.
@Helen McCabe You seem like a very helpful person.
@Helen McCabe why would you respond in such a manner? It was only a question posed by someone who misses the Queen.
I just watched this after watching Queen Elizabeth’s funeral yesterday …I woke up at 5 am to watch it . It is fascinating to compare the two . There was definitely more precision and coordination in yesterdays funeral vs 120 years ago …but you think about what all is involved to pull this off so well …it is really amazing logistics . I was impressed . We all watched history in the making .

Just saw Queen Elizabeth II's funeral this morning, now looking at Queen Victoria's from over 100 years ago. Interesting to compare & contrast the two. Fascinating to think that the crown and one of the orbs on Victoria's casket in this video were sitting on top of Elizabeth's today.
And all sitting on the same Gun Carriage
@@Harldin Wow!
Different crown I believe. I think Elizabeth's crown was made for her father.
definitely different crowns, or atleast altered... the big diamond didnt get donated until queen elizabeth II so its been added since then so im sure its different.
The first section of this film is the wrong way round (mirrored) - Tunicks are fastened the female way, medals are on the wrong side of the chest, swords and scabbards are on the wrong side of the body, the flautist is holding his flute the wrong way round!
I have just watched Queen Elizabeth's funeral, it was so polished in comparison to Queen Victoria's. However it has been fascinating to watch Queen Victoria's. The British certainly know how to do ceremony beautifully. RIP Queen Elizabeth.
Yes, there were some uncanny similarities there as well. What a contrast though as you say
I would not be surprised if QV's precession was markedly larger than today's. Back then the UK had an empire that spanned the globe, today it has no empire (mercifully) and after 12 years of Tories it now has more people in prison than in the regular Army.

Not much color to be seen. Thanks to old Queen Vic and her perpetual mourning, she started a new fashion trend where everyone wore black. Besides, black would be the color anyway as it was a funeral.
@@retroguy9494 Actually Queen Victoria decreed that white should be used, because rather than mourning her they should be celebrating her reunion with Albert. Didn't happen of course.
@@michaelmontagu3979 Did she REALLY? Wow I didn't know that one! Thanks for telling me! I DID hear that at the first ball after the official mourning period was over, Queen Alexandra shocked everyone by appearing in a white ball gown while all the other ladies were still in black.
@@retroguy9494 Yes, also she said that all Royal ladies must wear heavy black crepe veils to King Edward's funeral. They complied and were very shocked when she didn't wear a veil and was very heavily made up.
@@michaelmontagu3979 Again, fascinating. I mean, I knew about the traditional mourning dress for the ladies including the crepe veil. But I did not know that she appeared without one. I've never been able, through all my reading and watching documentaries on the subject, been able to ascertain how she REALLY felt about "Bertie." She certainly knew about his...ahem...lady friends. In fact, when he was dying, didn't she send for his girlfriend Mrs. Keppel to come and see him?

My aunt who will be 103 on her birthday and my mom who is not far behind both remember George the V, and George VI funerals, and now Elizabeth II. My mom got to see then Princess Elizabeth twice ... once in 1946, and then again with Philip in 1951. My paternal grandparents were only 4 and 7 when Victoria passed, and neither one had a strong memory of it ... being in rural Canada and so young it wasn't a thing for them.

Miraculous that we can view this at all!
Look at this film i feel that the history of 120 years is as near as just happened yesterday, but at the same time I feel sad that all these people have all become dust.
I was struck by the imprecision of the drill compared to today's. They were almost relaxed about what is being done with clockwork precision during the funeral processions of Queen Elizabeth.
I agree with you!!
That's what I noticed too. It is the same basic ceremony, but rather haphazard in it's execution. It just demonstrates how well trained modern soldiers are. Another thing to consider is that modern ceremonies are specially choreographed for television. So I imagine the soldiers today are well rehearsed in the ceremony ahead of time. It also helps that most of the royal family today have served in the military, so they all already know how to march correctly.
I thought the exact same! It’s been polished and perfected over the years hasn’t it! 🖤👑🇬🇧
Interesting. Another factor might have been that this was an age before TV and moving images were absolutely everywhere, and people were not used to being photographed and filmed; things were done in the moment and that moment passed for ever.
So different to today, where everyone has a camera-phone and every teen seems to stare at images of themselves and others endlessly, and with so many of them obsessed with the outward appearance of people.
Agreed, but I wonder if olden day filming makes it look even more jerky and uncoordinated than it was at the time.
It's amazing they've done the same tradition for hundreds of years. RIP HMQ.

Heavena Wilson i find this sort of stuff interesting because it gives people a perspective of long ago and how people lived. This was even before the radio electric lights, and people had to find ways to entertain themselves. However, it makes me sad that people today are not interested in learning about the past. This was in an era where people had to work hard for what they had unless they were born into privilege but even second and third sons of the rich had to make their own fortunes or marry a heiress. I’m more of a WW2 buff but I enjoy seeing how people lived over one hundred years ago. I wouldn’t want to wear a corset though.
QUE HERMOSURA QUE HAYAN GRABADO ESTE VIDEO HACE MÁS DE 121 AÑOS ATRÁS Y MUCHAS GRACIAS AL DUEÑO DEL CANAL POR SUBIRLO AL UA-cam
Thank you for sharing this Video,its amazing🙏❤️🌟
Wow, i'm impressed this footage still exists but glad that it does.
I can’t believe how little regimented it is in comparison to our late queen’s funeral
if you play it at 0.75 speed it actually looks better, but yes nowhere near as polished as today
The country is in mourning at present at the recent news of Queen Elizabeth II's passing away... And we can so relate to this old film now, today.
Amazing, thanks for sharing!
Every single person that we are looking at are dead not just the queen in the casket. One can even cast the thought also that each person had numerous family and friends and that are also gone.Makes one think how short life is. Makes one appreciate and give thanks to God for our limited time on earth 🌎. Live wise choose
the gift God offers in His Son
JESUS Christ.
Amen, well said!
Amen. 🙏❤
True. My own grandmother would not be born for another 7 years after this and she's already dead 21 years and would be 112 if living!
Amen
Amen!!
I've just shown this to some of my history students. They were fascinated that the same gun carriage was used for Queen Victoria's funeral and Queen Elizabeth. I had to chuckle at the outraged cry of 'Why is there no sound?!"
Amazing to see this, the empire at it's zenith. This must have been incredible to see in person.
That was very nice to see thank you ! ❤
All of these people in the video, even the babies would have been dead for more than decade and most, several decades. That’s pretty remarkable that we are able to see this today. Having the technology to transfer whatever kind of ancient film that was used and turned into a UA-cam video is amazing.
Incredible isn’t it , how traditional the ending is . Almost identical to what was seen days ago , regarding Queen Elizabeth II . Thanks for posting this amazing part of British history 🇬🇧👏👏
It's quite fascinating to watch film like this..120 years ahha
I’m looking at this today because Queen Elizabeth 2 has passed away at Balmoral last night, afternoon Britain time taged 96 y o. RIP our beloved Queen and head of states for Australia🔅♥️♥️♥️♥️🇦🇺🇬🇧
Wow! Thanks for uploading! Didn't realize it had been televised.
There were no televisions in 1901.
It’s spectacular to see this footage! I’m sorry, but I’m also a bit puzzled. Are there two caskets being taken off the wagon?
It's amazing to see the same uniforms and the same gun carriage. Some things never change
This was the first funeral that gun carriage was in
The gun carriage and sailors pulling it was accidental. Her coffin arrived on a carriage. The horses had got stressed waiting in the freezing cold during the service and bolted, breaking the traces (edited out of newsreels) the sailors had been ranged up and down the streets holding these ropes to keep the crowd back. They were drafted in at the suggestion of one of the Battenberg relatives.
Same gun used at Queen Elizabeth s funeral. Fact
@@TheGam67 who said it wasn’t?
@@TheGam67 Gun *carriage* I think you must mean? Well, they learned from Victoria’s funeral that there’s only so much slow-walk, drum-thumping and waiting about that you can trust a horse to tolerate. Humans, on the other hand, will put up with unlimited hours of it even when their surgery gets cancelled for it.
Awesome and Informative Thanks
This is truly amazing
It’s amazing to see that very same gun carriage I saw today carrying Queen Elizabeth II’s mortal remains being used for Queen Victoria 121 years ago!
And probably be used for King George in 2110 or so.
121 años después Funeral de la querida Reina Isabel II.
Victoria e Isabel Grandes épocas
wonderful footage
Queen Victoria: Grandmother of Europe.
Queen Elizabeth II: Grandmother of World.
There are pictures of a baby Charles III with his grandfather, George VI.
There are pictures of a young boy George VI with his great-grandmother, Queen Victoria.
Very facinating stuff! 👍
Astonishing to come across this coverage.
She was only 81 when she died and Queen Elizabeth was 15 years older than her when she died. I didn’t realize Victoria was that young.
5:28 that poor horse carrying the large King Edward VII
RIP all people in the video
Love old footage like this, somber times but the footage alone is pure gold.
Especially around the VERY early times of recording film, notice how so many of the people look at the camera out of natural curiosity at this new technology. Not just this footage but so many others. Other footage from this time you'll almost always see multiple people having a staring contest with the camera like it's supposed to do some kind of magic trick.
Someday,some future folks will be watching us like this as we watch Queen Elizabeth's funeral..we are indeed visitors here!..God!!!😢
