I think it's funny they choose the Wordsworth poem "On the Extinction of the Venetian Republic" to quote as she is being carried out.

Chemists and public toilets being closed are my favourite, because as we all know 95 year old women are the people least likely to appreciate these things.

There were a couple moments on the mall where there was a bit of an echo but yeah overall that's done really loving impressive work by the sound team.

Thoroughly confused by the occasional and inconsistent doffing of hats. Just now four guards on either side of the coffin took off their big bear butts and some of them were collected and transported to lord knows where by a man still wearing his, while others took theirs off but kept holding it.

e: now I see why, but this is really an amazing feat of choreography, if nothing else. (the whole thing I mean, not just the bits surrounding headgear)

You take the hat off when it’s filled with respect, only the most respectful need to remove it by this point in the festivities.

The eight soldiers actually bearing the coffin need to take their hats off for (obvious) practical reasons, as well as for ones of etiquette. But they also don't have a free hand to carry their hat, so another soldier takes it off them and carries it. The officers leading and escorting the bearer party also remove their hat (but only as a sign of respect) but have a hand free to carry it.

i’m sure there’s a specific psychological term for when you have an emotional belief and so you just invent rationalizations to defend it

It’s the life time of service stuff that gets me. WHAT SERVICE??? Like what the gently caress are they talking about. It’s absolutely the strangest part of all this that a random family who get to live lives of untold luxury with every need met at all times have managed to PR half the country into thinking that THEY served THEM.
