The Queen

[Werzle]

Hats off to the farmers who the queens coffin has just passed, tractors and combines lined up against the road hedge as a sign of respect

 

[Mydexta]

Just seen a number of tractors, and a combine at the side of the road as she passes.
@Chae1 said he was taking part

Just watching it on the BBC it’s better with the volume down rather than listening to waffling going on stating the obvious

Have been watching it on sky news.
Seem to have better commentators on there.
Switched to BBC for a few minutes & neither of the two commentators seemed to know the answer to what seemed like fairly basic questions from the main presenter.

On the magnificent Deeside countryside, imagine how much worse it would look if it was all rewilded wilderness.

Sadly the BBC presenters didn't seem to notice, and just a brief shot of it (unless maybe there was another spot where the same happened)

Maybe will be picked up on on social media

Very fitting that the gamekeepers are carrying the coffin at Balmoral, I wonder if that would have been her own request?

Apparently so.

Still showing her class, even after she's gone.

Didn't know who was in the official car behind, Didn't know difference between Scottish Royal standard and royal standard, this included royal "expert" and Scotlands chief reporter!

After 4 days of time to research very poor imho

How could the BBC even dare to acknowledge the tools of environmental destruction!

Is that her gamekeepers? Very moving photograph

That picture was taken back in 2002 when the Queen Mother died.
I do hope that “gamekeepers” guarded Her Majesty’s coffin.
A picture tells a thousand words

Very cool indeed.

Just a pity the presenters couldn't give those involved the credit due.
