Rare MMDown Under Posted April 17, 2021 #1 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh's funeral - what a moving service - British pomp and ceremony at its best. The music was glorious. Did anyone else stay up to watch or go to bed, then get up to watch, like I did? I have been to a church service in the Church and sat in the same pews as Members of the Royal Family sat for the funeral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fell asleep watching The Desolation of Smaug. Woke up early and watched bits on various channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything had a story/meaning, like the sugar cubes container for the Prince's carriage riding horses, on the empty carriage. I could never had stayed awake unless I had a sleep first.

I doubt that his wife will call her MIL either 🙂 Hope the Queen enjoys her day - she seems like a good person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi_cruiser Posted April 24, 2021 #9 Share Posted April 24, 2021 We watched some of Prince Phillips funeral that night it was live on TV and watch the rest of it the next morning/afternoon. It was a nice funeral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
