      @@loupgarou1261 That's awesome. I've traced my maternal grandmothers family to 1553. My ancestors from Chappell, Essex were Thomas and Anne Abbott. Their son George was a tailor in London when he came to America arriving in Boston and he was there and helped with the establishment of Watertown, MA. But, his descendents moved down to North and South Carolina. It's important to know our roots. With the state of the U.S. today makes me wish my ancestors never left. I may be moving to Scotland if the bigots take over this country.

    While still regal and and everything I have come to associate with her late majesty Queen Elizabeth II; I never thought I would see the pageantry of a royal funeral. As my only one was that of the late Princess Diana and I'm the age of HRH Prince William. My tears fall for all of the UK and the Commonwealth, her family, but more so for His Majesty King Charles III. During one of the hymns in St Georges Chapel there was a close up of him bloodshot eyes trying to hold back his tears where I knew it's not customary to touch the sovereign other than a handshake; but i saw a grieving son who within 18 months lost both his parents. I saw a man in need of comfort. I respect customs of other countries the world over but just a little love can change someone's day.
    Long may he reign, God Save the King- King Charles III

Where I moved to the competency of doctors is not high and for me to move to a location with the doctors I need would be a miracle. I have to go for a screening to see what the status is of that area to see if by the grace of God it has stayed in remission.

Along with Diana, Princess of Wales, I watched (on TV) the funeral of HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, and it too was a grand affair. But not as grand as her daughter's yesterday.
      As for the intense and understandable sadness of our King, he has his beloved Queen by his side, and a large extended family, and many friends, all of whom are allowed to touch him in the same ways they always have. I am sure that in private, our grieving royal family will find the comfort they need. The expressions of sympathy from people all over the world have been appreciated by the royal family. They and the people of the UK and Commonwealth will mourn and, over time, the pain will lessen, it always does. We were blessed to have known her as our Queen.

    Also well worth a visit is the one beneath the Vatican City, Saint Pablo’s church where all the popes from as far back as it practically existed, are buried.

It is an individual crypt solely for George VI , The Queen mother , Princess Margaret (ashes) , Prince Philip and The Queen. All are now immediately under the slab and stonemasons will add the three extra names to the slab over the next few months of Philip , Margaret and Queen Elizabeth II

    Maybe you should do proper research, and understand your subject matter before posting a videos with so many lies in it. You are confusing the Royal vault with the George vi vault. There's no corridor to the George vi vault as it is directly under the black slab, about 2 metres below the slab, it's large enough to hold 6 coffins, that is all.

    You mentioned once lowered into George VI memorial chapel they will pass along a narrow corridor into the main vault. Can you tell me is that within the confines of the new memorial chapel foundation or a narrow corridor leading into the main foundations of the main chapel. I'm assuming it is within the confines of the memorial chapel only - which leads to my confusion - as the chapel is very small for any corridor beneath to lead anywhere. Consequently I'm guessing it is literally only a small space for only four coffins stacked one upon the over two on one side and and two on the other with the Queens sisters ashes having to be placed in her mothers coffin due to limited space. So can you clarify if the narrow corridor you mention leads beyond the confines of the memorial chapel or not, would really like to know and would be grateful if you can explain. Thank you.

    Would be nice if it’s full so that it completes King George’s wish for his ‘us four’ to be together in peace. Well, ‘us four’ + Philip. But I’m sure the King won’t mind.

      I think the Chapel has its own vault under the black slab and there's stacking for the coffins down there, i.e. this Chapel goes deeper into the ground than you think. It also explains how they've fitted all four coffins down there because I was wondering.

      The slab is removed and coffins are placed inside the small room underneath, on a basic frame which holds two coffins either side. Both coffins are one above the other. Margaret's ashes are in an urn set into a small hole in the wall at the head of the now four coffins.

      There is no connection between the King George VI Vault and the larger Royal Vault. There is no narrow corridor between them. The narrator probably means that the coffins lowered down from the altar pass through a narrow corridor into the larger Royal Vault. In the case of Elizabeth and Philip, they were temporarily placed in the larger Royal Vault. Then they were brought back up into the church and moved into the George VI Chapel vault. Then they were placed inside that vault with Elizabeth's parents and sister.

    so the black marble is only a "cover". Initially I've tought the marble was a closing door for a vertical cavity in which the coffins were "stacked up" with some sort of "George/Elizabeth Mother/Elizabeth II/Philip" order (from the bottom to the top). Now I understand, if I'm right, that the marble covers a/opens to an underground cavity/room in which every coffin has an own place (and, if I'm right again, there still are two place for Carlo and Camilla)

      My question is how the coffins are manoeuvred into their final positions and how the extra shelving is added when required (unless it's already there). My guess is there's a concealed underground entrance not mentioned on the plans and there are people down there to arrange all of that.

    I believe the description is incorrect. The Queen's body is lowered into the crypt area directly beneath the George IV Chapel, where it remains. It does not go off on a subsequent journey through another "narrow corridor" to another resting place elsewhere. That wouldn't even make sense.
