i"m SORRY WOOT so i have been hating on QUEEN ELIZABETH this whole time Edit:thank u for all the likes its alot- and ik shes an actress just i can get dolores out of my eyes helllpp
When the Queen is walking through the hall, it is 70 seconds, her years of reign. I think the hall is her accomplishments and dedication and her life from the start to the end
I thought that hall was just...at the end of the day, this (life) was her journey alone. But the same can be said for every life. And I love the tidbit that it was 70 seconds, the same length of time of her reign.
I viewed the hall the same way, but thank you for the 70-seconds revelation. I viewed her walking through the door as the end of her life, and walking into Heaven.
This is possibly the best ending of a show I've seen. The entire scene from when Philip finds her, to when "he'll go ahead", the music and her look at The Crown on her coffin, Elizabeth Windsor saluting her, and the walk she still had ahead... I was in bits. What a masterpiece of an ending.
YES! A lot of shows do not know how to end nowadays. This one did it PERFECTLY. I was shocked how well it ended. Look at House of Cards, Game of Thrones, and Star Wars. The same. exact. endings. its wild.
This scene was so well written. Philipp leaving her alone for a moment, too. Very respectful way to mention their recent deaths without actually showing them.
The way that was done was mirrored so perfectly to real life, and as you said, by only doing it subtly. The mention of Philip's land rover, and him going before her to symbolise him dying before her. This scene was really about her being the last one left. So beautifully portrayed.
The time she spent walking out until the door shut in the last scene is approximately 70 seconds which is equal to the number of the years of her reign. You'll be missed. RIP.
Your comment brought to mind what is arguably the greatest speech by a woman in American history: Elizabeth Cady Stanton's "The Solitude of Self." She penned it in the 1890s as an appeal for woman's suffrage and women's autonomy saying (paraphrase) that women don't need to be under the protection of men because at every great moment of their lives from birth to death -- they walk alone. 😢 It's worth a read.
@@markmh835hardly the greatest. Women’s suffragettes were all about helping white women only. So let’s not forget the all color of women needed their support but never received it.
This scene really hits home. It just says “This is it. This is where the story ends. Through all the hardships and sacrifices. For better and for worse.” “This song is almost over, but the story lives forever.”
The moment the coffin and little elizabeth appeared almost brought me to tears. Realized that although she left behind a lot of herself along the way, she had never forgotten what she had always needed to do: her duty. When little elizabeth saluted her it’s like she was saying well done, for being a faithful servant of the throne
At just after one minute into the scene, Viola Prettejohn, as Princess Elizabeth when she was a Second Subaltern in the Auxiliary Territorial Services, comes into view from behind the coffin and salutes Queen Elizabeth. The most emotional part of the finale in my opinion.
I'm not British. I'm Indian. The day I find out that Queen Elizabeth had passed away was the day I realized I was expecting her to live forever. Some people are so significant in history that their presence is a latent cornerstone of existence. I think that is what the queen meant to the her kingdom and even to the people of the world. A source of consistency and stability. Her passing really made me feel the transience of life. Everyone goes.
As someone who served the crown for 25 years in the Royal Navy, I too felt the queen would be there for always. I was honoured to have met both her & Phillipa few times. They both served with dignity, honour and steadfastly. RIP
I'm not British either (American), and I kid you not just THE DAY BEFORE the Queen passed me & my mom were joking she would live yet another ten years... It was so unreal to hear the next day on the radio that she passed away 😔. Everything & everyone must go eventually. But what a story & legacy she left behind.
The part where she steps to the side of the coffin and sees her younger self saluting her really puts into perspective just how long her reign was and how many historical eras she lived through. The modern attire we're all used to seeing in our modern day in photo and film, and then the WW2 uniform that we only see in history books or in museums or black and white grainy photographs. Both of them together contrasting eachother is an odd sight. If that shot were a picture it would indeed paint a thousand words.
Also how they absolutely made Claire Foy look so vintage like she was ripped from a black and white old vintage film even her skin texture is almost pale it’s brilliant like some archive film being colorized. She looked like a ghost from the past literally.
YES! I was really hoping Claire and Olivia would make a final appearance on the show. I thought it would be during a flashback scene, but this is better. It's more emotional, beautiful, and touching. It's just awesome to see these 3 amazing actresses who portrayed Queen Elizabeth phenomenally.
I can't even imagine how hard it was to write and come up with this concept to pay tribute to the Queen even though the story still takes place around 2005. So masterful, what a tribute.
@@Deedz1st I don't think so. The final season was filmed around the time of the Queen's death, so I think they filming this part afterwards. Added this piece, on the contrary, the budget was expanded.
My Nan is Scottish and she passed before Prince Phillip and Queen Elizabeth, but we had “Sleep, Dearie, Sleep” played at her funeral as we carried her in to the crematorium. It was a proper gut punch to hear it at both funerals and in this scene
As an American I say this with great respect, while this scene is obviously fictionalized, the regal stability she brought in a global chaotic time that lasted over 7 decades can NEVER be overstated. This scene encapsulates her never-ending commitment to the duty to which she pledged her entire life. From someone far away, thank you for never stopping. LEGEND
The Royal Family haven't always been well liked, but we always accept them as part of who we are as a country. At least every senior royal has served their Mother/Grandmother in the armed forced. Hell Prince Andrew went and fought in the Falklands even though Queen Elizabeth didn't want him to go, say what you want about his connection to a Peado, he served his country loyally in that war
That final walk of the Queen in that vast and empty hallway... What a beautiful way of ending that magnificent show! Moved me to the tears, I'm still emotional... Thank you for such a wonderful 7 years!
The fact that Queen Elizabeth wore a white dress in the last scene of the series proves that she left this world as a beautiful angel. The white dress symbolized heaven, the place where she belongs peacefully. It's a small detail that i really love.
This is the most iconic ending to any show ever. Its so meaningful, respectful and reverent. No matter how many times I watch it, it still makes me cry. Job well done.
This scene has so much symbolism. We see her past come to her as she wrestles with what the right thing to do is: Abdicate or stay Queen till death. If you notice in this scene both of those Elizabeth’s are symbols of her past life. they are here in all black to symbolize those deaths of her past selves and now they’ve made way for this seasoned, wiser Elizabeth to finish out her time and join them. Also the beauty of walking from that deep darker colored inner church area to the much brighter area is so beautiful and symbolizes her eventual walk into heaven
Also, it highlighted the success of what the crown symbolizes which is constancy whilst showing instability once she crosses the horizon to her eventual death. Both the young and middle aged Elizabeth symbolized that. Nuance is what made this show unique.
I saw them dressed in black as one would at the funeral of anyone, this being the Queen. The long walk represents the many years after Charles getting married and even her husband passing that she kept on rulling till walking toward the light of the afterlife.
There's a poignant comparison in this scene that goes all the way back to one of the first scenes in Season 1, Episode 1. We see Elizabeth walking into Westminster Abbey with her father to marry Phillip. She is surrounded by people all there to support her. And by the end of the show, the final scene of Season 6 Episode 10, we see Elizabeth walking out of the chapel that is completely empty. No King George or Queen Elizabeth. No Margaret. No Phillip. No Winston. No one to guide her or support her anymore. She is completely on her own to make it work, and that long walk from the inner chapel through the outer chapel to the door is quite symbolic of how long she had to reign, really, on her own, before she departed.
Yes, beautifully said. One of the saddest things about getting so old is that you lose those you love most. I saw it with my father. He outlived my mother and all of his friends. So difficult. I saw someone say that the walk through the corridor was 96 steps. For every year of her life. Amazing series! I didn't want it to end.
My hope is that "on the other side", her father, Churchill, Eisenhower and the other greats of that fading era were there to shake her hand, and welcome her and Philip to eternity. May all of those incredible men and women who helped save mankind in that terrible war and years that followed rest in honored peace.
Chills, literal chills! The symbolism with that last shot of her walking the long walk into the proverbial light is unmistakable. Even though this was set 17 years before her actual death, you could think of it as her soul making one last round during those quiet hours before her funeral, encountering her younger selves and being reminded of what parts of her she had to sacrifice to become Queen, before finally walking away and crossing into the afterlife, bringing to an end the second Elizabethan age. Probably the best way to wrap this magnificent series.
I cried the whole funeral knowing that could have been me 6 months later but I feel so relieved that Woody.EXE didn’t have to go through this process because he would have stepped down from Wales’s throne on the day of my funeral and my 2009 Woody would have had it with his future Queen my sister, Princess of Wales. Wales would have changed completely if Woody had taken it but Woody.EXE would never abdicate the throne and he’s carrying on a year after I got unwell and I’m still carrying on as Queen. Wales would never be the same without me and Woody.EXE in it but Woody should have a chance at least. I hope Woody and my sister will reign one day
So much symbolism and meaning here, it's such a beautiful ending. From Phillip leaving her side, symbolizing that he passed before her and she had to move forward without him. Then, her seeing herself lying in state, then seeing her past-selves. Her thinking about how far she's come and her life's journey. Then her walking through the corridor and through the door which opened without anyone there, showing only light on the other side, symbolizing her passing. 😢 Rest easy, your Majesty.
The way they made her stay alive as she has almost 2 decades of her life left yet have her funeral scene and passing on represented by the walk across the hall through the gate into the light is such an amazing way to do it.
So much is said in this scene without a single word, incredible writing and acting. The entire life of the Queen and 6 seasons distilled into 2 minutes of screen time. The look on Imelda's face when the young Elizabeth appears is so spectacular it takes my breath away.
Only one who was missing was kid Lizzy. I would've had her run to the altar and catch older Liz's attention. This scene was her accepting her mortality before the long walk.
“Well Done, Ma’am” She served her kin, country and commonwealth for her whole life! And never faltered in that duty! As a Canadian and child of the 90s I always saw The Queen as that sweet, wise, wonderful grandmother that could teach you so many wondrous things. She passed not long after my own grandmother passed, so it hit a little hard, like I had just lost another sweet grandmother in life.
I’m watching the video while squatting over a dirt filled hole in Shanxi, China and upon reading your comment several large logs gushed out of my behind and my skin came into contact with the soft gelatinous substances, do you agree?
Everyone has mentioned the symbolism of this scene, and it is truly beautiful and masterfully done, but something I noted was Phillip’s final scene, how he comforts her glibly, then says “say one for me” before “going on ahead”. It may not be something they planned for people to notice, but it just stands out to me. He was her rock, her “strength and stay” so to me, it was Perfect for that to be his last act; a comforting sweet moment, and a cheerful nod to her faith.
Man that walk alone at the end.. Beautifully done! Imelda Staunton killed it. She let go of the woman she was & dedicated her whole life to Crown & Country. To Duty. & she wasn’t even born to bear the burden. Now she can finally rest. Sleep well your majesty💜
I found the 1:00 part quite touching. An elderly woman knowing her time has come, looking back at her young self, and feeling a sense of happiness and acceptance with her life.
I certainly will never forget it, nor her. She was queen for almost all of my life 😔 I know that this is a work of fiction but watching it is very upsetting 😳😢
Can’t believe it’s been a year since she left. This ending scene is beautifully done and captured the three wonderful actresses playing the titular role. 🙏
This scene was iconic and unforgettable. A beautiful tribute to our queen. The empty and long corridor recalls the lonely burden that the crown imposes, and the long life that the queen enjoyed. Claire Foy and Olivia Colman were brilliant and with Imelda they gave us this incredible ending.👑♥️
The final episode really leaned into the scope and grandeur of Shakespearian tragedy. Elizabeth was a small country woman, prim, contained, simple, and steely. When everyone else flipped out she was implacable, unflappable. She symbolised perfectly the generation she came from- unassuming and self deprecating and confident. She was the living embodiment of an older England, gone now for better or worse.
Yes she was unfeeling, while her soldiers massacred her citizens in the streets of Northern Ireland and the government in her name armed, trained and supplied loyalist terrorists to murder Irish Catholics. In Britain ye mourned her, in Ireland we celebrated.
In life, I have never been a big fan of Queen Elizabeth. Thanks to The Crown, I was able to understand her role, despite the fact that there are many things that are not real but fiction. Regardless of her good or bad decisions, Elizabeth remained firm and stoic in her role, in her community, until the end. , as if wanting to be the emblem of a nation. When little Elizabeth comes out from behind the coffin and greets her, like saying "Well done, Lilibeth" tears came to my eyes. Everything in this series has been perfect, throughout 6 seasons.
She kept her promise to her people and country for almost her entire adult life. It's more than any politician has ever done, for that alone she is one of my all-time favourite Britons.
i guess it depends on who has been affected by her. she can be loved by the brits but there are certain thing she has done or rather, not done in regards to de-colonialized countries that others resent her for. @@advancedape9791
Elizabeth was the embodiment of what the Crown is supposed to be in the British constitution. Not the myth, or what it ought to be, she didn’t take her position lightly and put duty to the nation ahead of her own life. She represents the sovereignty of the UK. There will be none like her again.
@@petelancaster6715 HELLO Peter William Lancaster6715! I suppose you are from Lancashire because I personally know many folks there with extremely intolerable BODY ODORS!! Why are you typing this from the comfort of your PORCELAIN THRONE! Your flatulence is deadly! On whose behalf are you so offended? was Mrs Elizabeth queen your mother???! The royal family does not give a single flying SHIT about you, Peter William Lancaster! Nor have they historically about the millions of people tortured, exploited, and MASSACRED under their bloody tyranny! GO TO BED, PETER! 😘
This is the only scene of "The Crown" I have ever watched, and probably will remain so. I can, however, state that I fully expect that Her Late Majesty most likely did walk into eternity with that same determination shown here. She probably looked upon her passage through the veil to be nothing more than another duty to be fulfilled, another step in life that she would take without hesitation... and she was likely met by her ancestors with thunderous applause.
Phillip going out before her, by the side door. The long walk she did until getting to the door representing the 17 years she still had ahead of her. The symbolism was brilliant.
In real life, Elizabeth died 17 months after Philip. So I was confused when you said 17 years, then realised you meant from the time The Crown finished in 2005. But either fits perfectly in my opinion.
I love this ending. The way the bagpipes play is touching. Also the way they did it its like she saying goodbye to the job that she had , but also her family and lastly saying goodbye to her people.
The day I learned Elizabeth had died was the day I realized how much the world changes, and how quickly. She was there my entire life, and in an instant, she was gone. It changed the way I looked at the world. RIP Queen Elizabeth II, gone but never forgotten.
I like the symbolic of this long corridor, even if we are imagining her death in this scene, she still had a long way before passing that door, which of course symbolizes heaven.
And speaking of symbolizing heaven, don't forget that she wore a white dress. That white in the dress also symbolized heaven, the place where she belongs peacefully
@@LorraineTuazonI felt like it symbolized how during life she was such a powerful force and the closer she got to the door the closer she became part of history until we say ‘she was’ versus ‘she is’
Seriously , what a show... amazing .. it really shows you the history of the Crown. Phenomenal acting, and the characters were superb , please please watch this show if you like history , you will not regret it!!
I was crying seeing this scene for the first time and am again. I may be from the United States, but I grew up with her on the throne. Sbe was an amazing woman and a amazing Queen for the Commonwealth. It feels strange not having her on the throne. I miss her and Philip to this day and always will.
I love this scene. Little Elizabeth stepping out from behind the coffin, saluting, and smiling. As if saying, "Look how far we've come! You did it! You did your duty and accomplished your mission. Well done!"
I have finished the episode a few minutes ago, and after 7 years, I said goodbye to this show, and to the Queen. I am an italian boy, but I cant explain the admiration for this show and for the late Elizabeth II. Now, I can finally say "Goodbye my Queen, may you rest in peace". Thank you The Crown
I'm from Mexico and still can't find the words to explain why we feel this way for someone who we barely knew, someone who didn't even rule the country we lived in. It's truly amazing!
This scene and the end scene in S1,E2 where Queen Mary does the deep curtsy and meets the new Queen Elizabeth’s eyes are the most powerful of the series (to me).
Of all the scenes in the entire series, this is the one that has haunted me. It was just perfect. It saddens me that there will not be another female monarch in my lifetime.
*When Philip leaves her in the chapel with saying, "I am leaving you now, pray for me" It was the moment i realized its hinting Philip's death time. ,he died before queen.. And then this scene continues* beautiful 🥺💔 'But we all cried tons when princess Margret saying farewell to queen in episode 8" So admire of these sisters bonding 😢💔
@@markbiggart1265 *and when Elizabeth giving her stick for walking, Margret grabbed Elizabeth's hand instead of stick.. It says alot... That as long you are with me I don't need anything.* 💔💔💔🥺
@@canxtanweLol, yeah I wasn't looking at that as the warm white glow of heaven, I was looking at it like the hot white burning light of hell! Granted both don't exist but meh, it's nice to think of.
I was born in 1952, so Elizabeth was my Queen for 70 years. When she died it felt like I had lost my Mom a second time. I haven't watched the series, but if it is as good as this scene, I'll have to stream it.
Did anyone notice the path Queen Elizabeth walks on at the end, if you ignore the triangular pattern at the starting of the path and the box at the end of it, there are exactly 17 lines in between the middle over which she walks over. Signifying her remaining 17 year reign from the time the show ends at (2005) to the end of her reign (2022). After which she walks into the gate with shining light, symbolising afterlife.
+ Great Economic Crisis (1929), Stalin's death (1953), Decolonization, creation of Israel (1948), building of Berlin Wall (1961), Beatles, Freddie Mercury’s Queen, Fall of Berlin Wall (1989), Colapse of USSR/Soviet Union (1991), Internet, Google, Brexit 2016, Russia - Ukraine conflict (2022 - )
When I read that every incarnation would appear, I imagined it would be a transition scene in which Claire Foy would walk somewhere and we go past a pillar or something and then see her change into Olivia Colman and so forth. But this is beautifully done.
Literally just finished this episode. I know a lot of it's fiction but one thing is for sure, she was an absolutely remarkable woman. Utterly dedicated in fulfilling her duty to her nation.
I attended the lying in state in Westminster Abbey, queued for 13 hours from 3am in the morning. I would have queued for 13 more hours just to have been able to pay my respects again, for the sense of stability, belonging, and empathy she provided us during the celebratory and difficult times. I queued for what was 12 hours 45 minutes in the cold, and when I begin to walk down the steps of the hall, it felt like she was there. Like her living soul comforting every person in the room, resting on the top of the hairs on your arms, slightly suffocating but no struggle, I don't cry but I began to, trying to hold it back, the atmosphere was far unlike any other funeral i'd been to, one where I didn't want to leave. I'd never had the pleasure of meeting her, but I had the honor to be able to pay my respects to her before they closed the line. RIP Queen Elizabeth II
Never thought that it was going to end... But the song just made me cry so much as if a part of me just left with the queen.. Long Live Queen Elizabeth👸🇬🇧
An impeccable way of representing the end and a new beginning. Her decision not to step down (shuffling the cards during her speech to skip that part) signaled a rebirth, a re-commitment to the rest of her reign as Queen. In the group photo scene, she appeared to reawaken, re-commit to her duty. I admire how Peter Morgan wove in the imagery of her funeral 17 years later, but the final scene suggested that she was still very much alive and walking alone, to continue her duty as Queen. Brilliant ending that can be interpreted in many ways.
One of the most amazingly well done and beautiful scenes ever written and produced. I can't imagine the writing and planning that had to be done to present this as it stands. Magic. As she was.
This is definitely one of the most poetic, reflexive and perfectly well done endings I have ever seen, I am not from the united kingdom but I am huge fan of it's culture and the royal family is one of my favorite topics, the Queen will always be remembered as one of the most historic leaders, not only from the united kingdom, but for the universal story as well, remember when I watched the funeral live one year ago and this will bring a lot of people feel exactly what they felt when they were watching the funeral on TV, because it was my case. Rest in peace your Majesty.🫡😞😢😭
"i declare before you all my life whatever it be long or short will be devoted to your service" she lived 17 years more years beyond the shows timeline to be the lonest reigning britsh monarch
3:28 Final Title: On September 8, 2022 Queen Elizabeth II died peacefully in her sleep at Balmoral Castle this afternoon with her children King Charles and Princess Anne by her side. May her legacy and monarch live on
This was beautifully done. I wish it had just titled a little more at the end. E.g. “Elizabeth II, would reign for another 17 years, she would die as the longest serving female head of state in world history and Britain’s longest serving Monarch, reigning for over 70 years. She became one of the most beloved and popular figures in history ”. Elizabeth The Great- April 21st 1926- Sep 8th 2022.
I saw this at a special premiere yesterday and I had to say, everyone there was bawling their eyes out during this scene. It still brings up tears during this
I think I cried or almost cried during every episode of this second part. There were just beautiful themes and moments in each, and this ending…just gorgeous and fitting and emotional. I’m going to miss this show!!
I've never been much of a Royalist so I didn't think I'd care when she died. I'd have sympathy for her family of course, as anyone would, but it wouldn't be an earth-shattering blow. But it was. And now, a year later, after having spent that year watching those who claim to be governing the country she so loved and did so much for sell it out and betray us over and over again..... I'm honestly a tiny bit glad she never saw just how quickly people with not even an infinitesimal shred of the honour and love she had for the country have defiled and utterly betrayed everything she stood for. The day we lost her...... the biggest part of the soul of England died with her.
And so it ends. Im kind of glad that towards the end they brought the attention back to where it always belonged, The Queen. Diana, charles, william and harry took up so much screentime that it was almost annoying how little we got to know the s5 and 6 Queen. Imelda Staunton hardly got time to shine, but this ending truly showed how good she was
Having steered the Royal Family through the majority of the 20th century; having navigated the changes, coped with the globalisation of the media; coped with being subject to the 24 hour new cycle; left as (along with her namesake QE1 and Victoria) amongst the most loved of all monarchs @@nomahope3182
I’ll never forget the day I heard she passed I was in my classroom working on my lesson plans with my coach when she said the queen is dead out of nowhere. Even though my mind was elsewhere it was definitely one of those you remember exactly where you were and what you were doing moments. As a history teacher I definitely understood how significant that day was for so many people
This scene was a total gut punch. What a fitting way to say this is where the story ends. It was so eloquently done the long walk, 70 seconds equating to 70 years of reign. There shall never be another. I think we all thought she’d live forever.
When the score for the show is interjected along side the lone bagpiper playing sleep dearie sleep, having it match so perfectly was very well done on whomever scored the show. Such a great scene and despite the critisisms the show got it was a pretty good tribute to the late queen
I absolutely loved this ending. It gave me the chills, and left me with a profound sense of thanks that my life was spent with her as Queen, even though I'm American and Rex is anathema to me. She was one of a kind, and we shall not see her like again.
The powerful scene is combined so well with the epic music. That dynamic and lively rhythm when the young Elizabeth Windsor showed up and paid tribute to the self that she devoted her life to; the beautiful melody when Claire and Olivia appeared and at last solemn music symbolizing the long reign that the Queen has enjoyed and her services to the Crown, accompanying the last journey to the end of her life, ending with a peaceful tone that stays in the collective memory of the world. And the walk, although she had to finish the last period of her rule by herself, this was undoubtedly a tremendous tribute to her remarkable life and the legacy she left behind.
Being able to do both Umbridge and Queen Elizabeth shows how amazing of an actor she is.
i"m SORRY WOOT so i have been hating on QUEEN ELIZABETH this whole time
Edit:thank u for all the likes its alot- and ik shes an actress just i can get dolores out of my eyes helllpp
@@MrsGijojoseph😂
Of course!
I thought she's an actress.😂
I knew she looked familiar!
When the Queen is walking through the hall, it is 70 seconds, her years of reign. I think the hall is her accomplishments and dedication and her life from the start to the end
I thought that hall was just...at the end of the day, this (life) was her journey alone. But the same can be said for every life.
And I love the tidbit that it was 70 seconds, the same length of time of her reign.
Ah thanks for that- love little facts like this.
And she walks out into the light, her work is done
I viewed the hall the same way, but thank you for the 70-seconds revelation. I viewed her walking through the door as the end of her life, and walking into Heaven.
Each pillar, is a jubilee.
For all of the criticisms of The Crown, this scene was done perfectly with Love and Respect for the Queen.
The show was perfect.

Beautiful way to end the series without showing the queen's death.😊
This is possibly the best ending of a show I've seen. The entire scene from when Philip finds her, to when "he'll go ahead", the music and her look at The Crown on her coffin, Elizabeth Windsor saluting her, and the walk she still had ahead... I was in bits. What a masterpiece of an ending.
YES! A lot of shows do not know how to end nowadays. This one did it PERFECTLY. I was shocked how well it ended. Look at House of Cards, Game of Thrones, and Star Wars. The same. exact. endings. its wild.
Agreed

@@rickyolivarezBreaking Bad and Better Call Saul had perfect endings, and we can add the Crown to that list now too
Absolutely, I was consoled with sadness
This scene was so well written. Philipp leaving her alone for a moment, too. Very respectful way to mention their recent deaths without actually showing them.
The way that was done was mirrored so perfectly to real life, and as you said, by only doing it subtly. The mention of Philip's land rover, and him going before her to symbolise him dying before her. This scene was really about her being the last one left. So beautifully portrayed.
Exactly, it was so subtle and so good 👌

Spot on 👍🇬🇧
@@littleberry0958this show the crown isn’t all truthful some stories made up
The time she spent walking out until the door shut in the last scene is approximately 70 seconds which is equal to the number of the years of her reign. You'll be missed. RIP.
Amazing
Daaaaamn that made it feel both longer and shorter 😢
I thought I was 96 seconds that was the age of her when she passed.
@@Sithuhein100seemed like it was 26 secs as she approached the hall, and then a final 70 seconds as she walked down to represent her reign.
@@Sithuhein100I read that she took 96 steps. One for each year of her incredible life.
Such a powerful scene. A reminder that in the end, we all make that last long walk alone. May we all have the strength to do it with our heads up.
Very true
Your comment brought to mind what is arguably the greatest speech by a woman in American history: Elizabeth Cady Stanton's "The Solitude of Self." She penned it in the 1890s as an appeal for woman's suffrage and women's autonomy saying (paraphrase) that women don't need to be under the protection of men because at every great moment of their lives from birth to death -- they walk alone. 😢
It's worth a read.
Such a very powerful and mving comment. ❤ this!
@@markmh835hardly the greatest. Women’s suffragettes were all about helping white women only. So let’s not forget the all color of women needed their support but never received it.
Well said.
I like that they brought all the actresses back to be in one scene together
This scene really hits home. It just says “This is it. This is where the story ends. Through all the hardships and sacrifices. For better and for worse.” “This song is almost over, but the story lives forever.”
Yeah, hardships and sacrifices. Los ricos también lloran, y así.
Not "the story"; but her story. Though I'm not even sure that's true to say.
@user-wq4kb9wj5i we're all human. Rich, poor, tall, short, fat, thin... we all end up in the same place
someone watches doctor who
This is the queen, not the 10th Doctor.
The moment the coffin and little elizabeth appeared almost brought me to tears. Realized that although she left behind a lot of herself along the way, she had never forgotten what she had always needed to do: her duty. When little elizabeth saluted her it’s like she was saying well done, for being a faithful servant of the throne
She is The Job remember?
When did little Elizabeth appear. I’ve watched this 3 times and I didn’t see her
At just after one minute into the scene, Viola Prettejohn, as Princess Elizabeth when she was a Second Subaltern in the Auxiliary Territorial Services, comes into view from behind the coffin and salutes Queen Elizabeth. The most emotional part of the finale in my opinion.
Almost brought you to tears?? Are you made of stone? I cried like a baby. Yes I’m American
Little?
I'm not British. I'm Indian. The day I find out that Queen Elizabeth had passed away was the day I realized I was expecting her to live forever. Some people are so significant in history that their presence is a latent cornerstone of existence. I think that is what the queen meant to the her kingdom and even to the people of the world. A source of consistency and stability. Her passing really made me feel the transience of life. Everyone goes.
What an incredibly beautiful tribute you have written.
@drafter3412 thank you💛
As someone who served the crown for 25 years in the Royal Navy, I too felt the queen would be there for always. I was honoured to have met both her & Phillipa few times. They both served with dignity, honour and steadfastly. RIP
@@markrafferty9736 I'm sorry for your loss. I wish you well.
I'm not British either (American), and I kid you not just THE DAY BEFORE the Queen passed me & my mom were joking she would live yet another ten years...
It was so unreal to hear the next day on the radio that she passed away 😔. Everything & everyone must go eventually. But what a story & legacy she left behind.
The part where she steps to the side of the coffin and sees her younger self saluting her really puts into perspective just how long her reign was and how many historical eras she lived through.
The modern attire we're all used to seeing in our modern day in photo and film, and then the WW2 uniform that we only see in history books or in museums or black and white grainy photographs. Both of them together contrasting eachother is an odd sight.
If that shot were a picture it would indeed paint a thousand words.
Also how they absolutely made Claire Foy look so vintage like she was ripped from a black and white old vintage film even her skin texture is almost pale it’s brilliant like some archive film being colorized. She looked like a ghost from the past literally.
YES! I was really hoping Claire and Olivia would make a final appearance on the show. I thought it would be during a flashback scene, but this is better. It's more emotional, beautiful, and touching.
It's just awesome to see these 3 amazing actresses who portrayed Queen Elizabeth phenomenally.
I am surprised they pull it off without looking too cliche or awkward.
Same, I knew they'd be back but man I didn't expect that them three will be together in one frame. Brilliant!
But they were in flashback scenes
@@BwInNewJersey I know
Actually 4 queen's. The young lady that saluted her and then the other 2 younger queen's, and then herself.This was a most touching scene..
I can't even imagine how hard it was to write and come up with this concept to pay tribute to the Queen even though the story still takes place around 2005. So masterful, what a tribute.
It’s called cutting to the chase due to budget cuts
Same here. They really pulled it off.
@@Deedz1st I don't think so. The final season was filmed around the time of the Queen's death, so I think they filming this part afterwards.
Added this piece, on the contrary, the budget was expanded.
@@ingadaFrankly it's sad that she had to die for the show runners to remember were here for HER not for the drama.
Don’t think it was that hard tbh
My Nan is Scottish and she passed before Prince Phillip and Queen Elizabeth, but we had “Sleep, Dearie, Sleep” played at her funeral as we carried her in to the crematorium. It was a proper gut punch to hear it at both funerals and in this scene
My condolences.
As an American I say this with great respect, while this scene is obviously fictionalized, the regal stability she brought in a global chaotic time that lasted over 7 decades can NEVER be overstated. This scene encapsulates her never-ending commitment to the duty to which she pledged her entire life. From someone far away, thank you for never stopping.
LEGEND
She served more military time than Trump's entire family.
The Royal Family haven't always been well liked, but we always accept them as part of who we are as a country. At least every senior royal has served their Mother/Grandmother in the armed forced. Hell Prince Andrew went and fought in the Falklands even though Queen Elizabeth didn't want him to go, say what you want about his connection to a Peado, he served his country loyally in that war
You are so right and global stability is so desperately needed right now. The world is in such turmoil and without a leader to look to for guidance.
@@Eggs-Benedict-Cucumber-Patch And probably yours as well. Let's not be this way.
@prethorynscourge7889 Yeah.... 4th generation army brat
The director should receive an Emmy award for this scene.
Daldry already won for Paterfamilias in Season 2
It's British -- it would be a BAFTA.
Absolutely agree with you 😊
That's a bit much
No, it was dull and confused.
That final walk of the Queen in that vast and empty hallway... What a beautiful way of ending that magnificent show! Moved me to the tears, I'm still emotional... Thank you for such a wonderful 7 years!
The fact that Queen Elizabeth wore a white dress in the last scene of the series proves that she left this world as a beautiful angel. The white dress symbolized heaven, the place where she belongs peacefully. It's a small detail that i really love.
Someone must have rewatched Lost before writing the final scene...
Just for the record, that ‘vast and empty hallway’ is York Minster, one of the world’s greatest cathedrals
@PhilipTait-oi2hm thanks, now I know the place (I hope I'll recreate this scene one day...)
I cried like a baby...
Damn, when the young Elizabeth saluted ... !!
I loved that scene too ❤
even a Yank is going to get the feels over that artistic touch
This is the most iconic ending to any show ever. Its so meaningful, respectful and reverent. No matter how many times I watch it, it still makes me cry. Job well done.
The final scene of the last Blackadder was amazing. So poignant
This scene has so much symbolism. We see her past come to her as she wrestles with what the right thing to do is: Abdicate or stay Queen till death. If you notice in this scene both of those Elizabeth’s are symbols of her past life. they are here in all black to symbolize those deaths of her past selves and now they’ve made way for this seasoned, wiser Elizabeth to finish out her time and join them. Also the beauty of walking from that deep darker colored inner church area to the much brighter area is so beautiful and symbolizes her eventual walk into heaven
Also, it highlighted the success of what the crown symbolizes which is constancy whilst showing instability once she crosses the horizon to her eventual death. Both the young and middle aged Elizabeth symbolized that. Nuance is what made this show unique.
I’ve watched this episode twice very moving so well done
I saw them dressed in black as one would at the funeral of anyone, this being the Queen. The long walk represents the many years after Charles getting married and even her husband passing that she kept on rulling till walking toward the light of the afterlife.
Very nice breakdown.
Also Philip's last line "I'll leave it to you. Say one for me?", while she's crying, is very symbolic, like he announces his death just before hers
There's a poignant comparison in this scene that goes all the way back to one of the first scenes in Season 1, Episode 1. We see Elizabeth walking into Westminster Abbey with her father to marry Phillip. She is surrounded by people all there to support her. And by the end of the show, the final scene of Season 6 Episode 10, we see Elizabeth walking out of the chapel that is completely empty. No King George or Queen Elizabeth. No Margaret. No Phillip. No Winston. No one to guide her or support her anymore. She is completely on her own to make it work, and that long walk from the inner chapel through the outer chapel to the door is quite symbolic of how long she had to reign, really, on her own, before she departed.
Yes, beautifully said. One of the saddest things about getting so old is that you lose those you love most.
I saw it with my father. He outlived my mother and all of his friends. So difficult. I saw someone say that the walk through the corridor was 96 steps. For every year of her life. Amazing series! I didn't want it to end.
@@heather2028 I haven’t counted the steps but given the attention to detail in this show, I would believe it.
Literally no one else but herself. What a legend. ❤
She lived a long and golden life, she will always be remembered as the Queen
My hope is that "on the other side", her father, Churchill, Eisenhower and the other greats of that fading era were there to shake her hand, and welcome her and Philip to eternity. May all of those incredible men and women who helped save mankind in that terrible war and years that followed rest in honored peace.
Nah, she won't, she will be remembered as Elizabeth the second.
Unfortunately ‘The Crown’ died after season four.
Tragically, for the world, we lost a loved one when QEII passed away.
Chills, literal chills! The symbolism with that last shot of her walking the long walk into the proverbial light is unmistakable. Even though this was set 17 years before her actual death, you could think of it as her soul making one last round during those quiet hours before her funeral, encountering her younger selves and being reminded of what parts of her she had to sacrifice to become Queen, before finally walking away and crossing into the afterlife, bringing to an end the second Elizabethan age. Probably the best way to wrap this magnificent series.
That is an absolutely beautiful way to look at this scene.
You mean 20* years before her actual death cause the queen mother passed in 2002 and Elizabeth in 2022
@ehrichan6726 yes but this scene is after the wedding of camilla and charles, so it's currently 2005 in this scene. 17 years before 2022, her death.
@@ehrichan6726 it’s 17 years because 2005-2022 is 17.
What do you mean set 17 years before? Wasn't this scene shot after the Queens passing?
Perfect ending…after all these years…they nailed this final scene.
They sure did! Perfect ending of ‘The Crown’
I didn’t cry at her funeral until the very end, as the piper played, then slowly walked away. That destroyed me. 💔
I cried the whole funeral knowing that could have been me 6 months later but I feel so relieved that Woody.EXE didn’t have to go through this process because he would have stepped down from Wales’s throne on the day of my funeral and my 2009 Woody would have had it with his future Queen my sister, Princess of Wales. Wales would have changed completely if Woody had taken it but Woody.EXE would never abdicate the throne and he’s carrying on a year after I got unwell and I’m still carrying on as Queen. Wales would never be the same without me and Woody.EXE in it but Woody should have a chance at least. I hope Woody and my sister will reign one day
@@nicolelawless9942What the actual fuck did I just read?
@@cb-7422 😆🤷♀️
So much symbolism and meaning here, it's such a beautiful ending. From Phillip leaving her side, symbolizing that he passed before her and she had to move forward without him. Then, her seeing herself lying in state, then seeing her past-selves. Her thinking about how far she's come and her life's journey. Then her walking through the corridor and through the door which opened without anyone there, showing only light on the other side, symbolizing her passing. 😢 Rest easy, your Majesty.
The way they made her stay alive as she has almost 2 decades of her life left yet have her funeral scene and passing on represented by the walk across the hall through the gate into the light is such an amazing way to do it.
It was our farewell to her.
They should of had Philip waiting for her and them walking into the light together.
Because in this show about a queen, let's make it about a couple for the aesthetic @@Inquisitor-Beals
@@madsellers4933 it still would’ve been nice to see
So much is said in this scene without a single word, incredible writing and acting. The entire life of the Queen and 6 seasons distilled into 2 minutes of screen time.
The look on Imelda's face when the young Elizabeth appears is so spectacular it takes my breath away.
Great acting all the Elizabeths
Only one who was missing was kid Lizzy. I would've had her run to the altar and catch older Liz's attention. This scene was her accepting her mortality before the long walk.
"Show, not tell!"
Thank you Queen Elizabeth II for serving for so long and faithfully. Rest well, your Majesty.
I took a huge dump
“Well Done, Ma’am”
She served her kin, country and commonwealth for her whole life! And never faltered in that duty!
As a Canadian and child of the 90s I always saw The Queen as that sweet, wise, wonderful grandmother that could teach you so many wondrous things.
She passed not long after my own grandmother passed, so it hit a little hard, like I had just lost another sweet grandmother in life.
I cannot respect the Queen and Great Britain because of their aggressive colonial policies and endless desire to destroy Russia 😒
When the queen is saluted by her precious years, it’s a reminder of a life dedicated to service.

@@SanctusPaulus1962 WELL THAT"S JUST, LIKE, YOUR OPINION, MAN!
Everyone has mentioned the symbolism of this scene, and it is truly beautiful and masterfully done, but something I noted was Phillip’s final scene, how he comforts her glibly, then says “say one for me” before “going on ahead”. It may not be something they planned for people to notice, but it just stands out to me. He was her rock, her “strength and stay” so to me, it was Perfect for that to be his last act; a comforting sweet moment, and a cheerful nod to her faith.
I agree; Philip was ironically like Albert to Victoria with Elizabeth, her rock to keep her grounded and resilience to continue her duty as monarch.
And notice where Prince Philip heading to the gate i think where the route going down the tomb site.
I see her leaving through the door as being free in her next life. She has so much but never freedom.
I thought they were different religions so he cant pray there? Or am I a dumbass? 😂
Man that walk alone at the end.. Beautifully done! Imelda Staunton killed it. She let go of the woman she was & dedicated her whole life to Crown & Country. To Duty. & she wasn’t even born to bear the burden. Now she can finally rest. Sleep well your majesty💜
The last lament of the Scottish piper broke my heart in both the real funeral and the programme. RIP QE and PP.
I found the 1:00 part quite touching.

This scene was iconic and unforgettable. A beautiful tribute to our queen. The empty and long corridor recalls the lonely burden that the crown imposes, and the long life that the queen enjoyed. Claire Foy and Olivia Colman were brilliant and with Imelda they gave us this incredible ending.👑♥️
She knighted Jimmy Saville twice. Yes what a tribute you say.
#notmyqueen
It's way too soon for the scene to be referred to as "iconic" but I catch your meaning just the same.
As an American, I think queen elizabeth is an icon that will truly be missed
The Lady was a Titan of modern history. You could be forgiven for thinking she would live forever.
The final episode really leaned into the scope and grandeur of Shakespearian tragedy. Elizabeth was a small country woman, prim, contained, simple, and steely. When everyone else flipped out she was implacable, unflappable. She symbolised perfectly the generation she came from- unassuming and self deprecating and confident. She was the living embodiment of an older England, gone now for better or worse.
Very well said, I totally agree with “grandeur of a Shakespearean tragedy”!
Your comment is both so well written and relevant at the same time... Hats off.
Wow yes the tragedy, royalty, grandeur, pride, duty, sacrifice, all very Shakespearian 😮
@@dimitrisolaz6921 very kind, Thankyou.
Yes she was unfeeling, while her soldiers massacred her citizens in the streets of Northern Ireland and the government in her name armed, trained and supplied loyalist terrorists to murder Irish Catholics. In Britain ye mourned her, in Ireland we celebrated.
In life, I have never been a big fan of Queen Elizabeth. Thanks to The Crown, I was able to understand her role, despite the fact that there are many things that are not real but fiction. Regardless of her good or bad decisions, Elizabeth remained firm and stoic in her role, in her community, until the end. , as if wanting to be the emblem of a nation. When little Elizabeth comes out from behind the coffin and greets her, like saying "Well done, Lilibeth" tears came to my eyes. Everything in this series has been perfect, throughout 6 seasons.
She kept her promise to her people and country for almost her entire adult life. It's more than any politician has ever done, for that alone she is one of my all-time favourite Britons.
Class, nobility, service to the nation. Rest in eternal peace Your Britannic Majesty. Job well done.@@advancedape9791
i guess it depends on who has been affected by her. she can be loved by the brits but there are certain thing she has done or rather, not done in regards to de-colonialized countries that others resent her for. @@advancedape9791
@@advancedape9791 True, she was a respectable woman
Elizabeth was the embodiment of what the Crown is supposed to be in the British constitution. Not the myth, or what it ought to be, she didn’t take her position lightly and put duty to the nation ahead of her own life. She represents the sovereignty of the UK. There will be none like her again.

This is the only scene of "The Crown" I have ever watched, and probably will remain so. I can, however, state that I fully expect that Her Late Majesty most likely did walk into eternity with that same determination shown here. She probably looked upon her passage through the veil to be nothing more than another duty to be fulfilled, another step in life that she would take without hesitation... and she was likely met by her ancestors with thunderous applause.
Phillip going out before her, by the side door. The long walk she did until getting to the door representing the 17 years she still had ahead of her. The symbolism was brilliant.
I've seen that long walk referred to as meaning multiple things on this thread. Maybe it was just a good shot to end the series on?
In real life, Elizabeth died 17 months after Philip. So I was confused when you said 17 years, then realised you meant from the time The Crown finished in 2005. But either fits perfectly in my opinion.
@@Gerishnakov I’ve seen other interpretations too, this is just how I perceived it. But they’re all brilliant. She was a magnificent woman.

The day I learned Elizabeth had died was the day I realized how much the world changes, and how quickly. She was there my entire life, and in an instant, she was gone. It changed the way I looked at the world. RIP Queen Elizabeth II, gone but never forgotten.

I like the symbolic of this long corridor, even if we are imagining her death in this scene, she still had a long way before passing that door, which of course symbolizes heaven.
And speaking of symbolizing heaven, don't forget that she wore a white dress. That white in the dress also symbolized heaven, the place where she belongs peacefully
I thought the long corridor symbolized her long reign.
I don’t think anyone in that family is heaven-bound after all that they’ve done.
@@LorraineTuazonI felt like it symbolized how during life she was such a powerful force and the closer she got to the door the closer she became part of history until we say ‘she was’ versus ‘she is’

Seriously , what a show... amazing .. it really shows you the history of the Crown. Phenomenal acting, and the characters were superb , please please watch this show if you like history , you will not regret it!!
I was crying seeing this scene for the first time and am again. I may be from the United States, but I grew up with her on the throne. Sbe was an amazing woman and a amazing Queen for the Commonwealth. It feels strange not having her on the throne. I miss her and Philip to this day and always will.
I love this scene. Little Elizabeth stepping out from behind the coffin, saluting, and smiling. As if saying, "Look how far we've come! You did it! You did your duty and accomplished your mission. Well done!"
She farted during the filming of the scene
I have finished the episode a few minutes ago, and after 7 years, I said goodbye to this show, and to the Queen. I am an italian boy, but I cant explain the admiration for this show and for the late Elizabeth II. Now, I can finally say "Goodbye my Queen, may you rest in peace". Thank you The Crown

This scene and the end scene in S1,E2 where Queen Mary does the deep curtsy and meets the new Queen Elizabeth’s eyes are the most powerful of the series (to me).
Of all the scenes in the entire series, this is the one that has haunted me. It was just perfect. It saddens me that there will not be another female monarch in my lifetime.

I was born in 1952, so Elizabeth was my Queen for 70 years. When she died it felt like I had lost my Mom a second time. I haven't watched the series, but if it is as good as this scene, I'll have to stream it.

Hi my friend how are you doing today 😊
Did anyone notice the path Queen Elizabeth walks on at the end, if you ignore the triangular pattern at the starting of the path and the box at the end of it, there are exactly 17 lines in between the middle over which she walks over. Signifying her remaining 17 year reign from the time the show ends at (2005) to the end of her reign (2022). After which she walks into the gate with shining light, symbolising afterlife.
I've never seen such a perfect ending. A true masterpiece.
This is a brilliant scene. Love that they brought Claire Foy back for this . She really shines.

I attended the lying in state in Westminster Abbey, queued for 13 hours from 3am in the morning. I would have queued for 13 more hours just to have been able to pay my respects again, for the sense of stability, belonging, and empathy she provided us during the celebratory and difficult times. I queued for what was 12 hours 45 minutes in the cold, and when I begin to walk down the steps of the hall, it felt like she was there. Like her living soul comforting every person in the room, resting on the top of the hairs on your arms, slightly suffocating but no struggle, I don't cry but I began to, trying to hold it back, the atmosphere was far unlike any other funeral i'd been to, one where I didn't want to leave. I'd never had the pleasure of meeting her, but I had the honor to be able to pay my respects to her before they closed the line. RIP Queen Elizabeth II
Never thought that it was going to end... But the song just made me cry so much as if a part of me just left with the queen.. Long Live Queen Elizabeth👸🇬🇧
You did your duty for the country from 6th February 1952 - 8th September 2022. Well done, Your Majesty. R.I.P 🕊 🕊 🕊 🕊
An impeccable way of representing the end and a new beginning. Her decision not to step down (shuffling the cards during her speech to skip that part) signaled a rebirth, a re-commitment to the rest of her reign as Queen. In the group photo scene, she appeared to reawaken, re-commit to her duty. I admire how Peter Morgan wove in the imagery of her funeral 17 years later, but the final scene suggested that she was still very much alive and walking alone, to continue her duty as Queen. Brilliant ending that can be interpreted in many ways.
She walked 96 steps before reaching the door
I'm not a monarchists but that was a brilliant scene.
One of the most amazingly well done and beautiful scenes ever written and produced. I can't imagine the writing and planning that had to be done to present this as it stands. Magic. As she was.
This is definitely one of the most poetic, reflexive and perfectly well done endings I have ever seen, I am not from the united kingdom but I am huge fan of it's culture and the royal family is one of my favorite topics, the Queen will always be remembered as one of the most historic leaders, not only from the united kingdom, but for the universal story as well, remember when I watched the funeral live one year ago and this will bring a lot of people feel exactly what they felt when they were watching the funeral on TV, because it was my case.
Rest in peace your Majesty.🫡😞😢😭
We’ll said
"i declare before you all my life whatever it be long or short will be devoted to your service" she lived 17 years more years beyond the shows timeline to be the lonest reigning britsh monarch
It’s a shame she didn’t live for two more years as she would have been the longest ruler in Europe, longer than Louis XIV of France had she did.
It's a shame she didn't actually do anything of use with those years.

This was beautifully done. I wish it had just titled a little more at the end. E.g.
“Elizabeth II, would reign for another 17 years, she would die as the longest serving female head of state in world history and Britain’s longest serving Monarch, reigning for over 70 years. She became one of the most beloved and popular figures in history ”. Elizabeth The Great- April 21st 1926- Sep 8th 2022.
This was one of the things the earlier seasons did really well. The context of what happened next in the end credits for each figure.

Your comment made me cry. Beautifully said 😢🥹❤️
I've never been much of a Royalist so I didn't think I'd care when she died. I'd have sympathy for her family of course, as anyone would, but it wouldn't be an earth-shattering blow. But it was. And now, a year later, after having spent that year watching those who claim to be governing the country she so loved and did so much for sell it out and betray us over and over again.....
I'm honestly a tiny bit glad she never saw just how quickly people with not even an infinitesimal shred of the honour and love she had for the country have defiled and utterly betrayed everything she stood for. The day we lost her...... the biggest part of the soul of England died with her.
I've never watched The Crown, but that was xtremely emotional & really hit home the emotions of the time
And so it ends. Im kind of glad that towards the end they brought the attention back to where it always belonged, The Queen.
Diana, charles, william and harry took up so much screentime that it was almost annoying how little we got to know the s5 and 6 Queen. Imelda Staunton hardly got time to shine, but this ending truly showed how good she was
Yeh agreed, when it diverted to the whole Diana/Dodi thing, I lost interest. The last 2/3 episodes saved this season and the ending was done very well
A poignant and touching tribute to one of the best monarch ever lived.
Rest in peace, my lady, Your Majesty.
She wouldn't have pissed on your ass if your guys were on fire. "My lady" hahaha. Delusional, innit.
What are her achievements? What made her of the greatest monarchs?
Having steered the Royal Family through the majority of the 20th century; having navigated the changes, coped with the globalisation of the media; coped with being subject to the 24 hour new cycle; left as (along with her namesake QE1 and Victoria) amongst the most loved of all monarchs @@nomahope3182
Yeah, A+ work protecting her pedo son. The best to ever do it.
@@courtneyt2811 "her pedo son": Stop blaming women for the actions of men.
I’ll never forget the day I heard she passed I was in my classroom working on my lesson plans with my coach when she said the queen is dead out of nowhere. Even though my mind was elsewhere it was definitely one of those you remember exactly where you were and what you were doing moments. As a history teacher I definitely understood how significant that day was for so many people
This scene was a total gut punch. What a fitting way to say this is where the story ends. It was so eloquently done the long walk, 70 seconds equating to 70 years of reign. There shall never be another. I think we all thought she’d live forever.
When the score for the show is interjected along side the lone bagpiper playing sleep dearie sleep, having it match so perfectly was very well done on whomever scored the show.
Such a great scene and despite the critisisms the show got it was a pretty good tribute to the late queen
When Claire and Olivia stepped into the screen I nearly cried. I’m so happy they did that❤😢
That scene feels incredibly powerful
So am I.
I absolutely loved this ending. It gave me the chills, and left me with a profound sense of thanks that my life was spent with her as Queen, even though I'm American and Rex is anathema to me. She was one of a kind, and we shall not see her like again.
The powerful scene is combined so well with the epic music. That dynamic and lively rhythm when the young Elizabeth Windsor showed up and paid tribute to the self that she devoted her life to; the beautiful melody when Claire and Olivia appeared and at last solemn music symbolizing the long reign that the Queen has enjoyed and her services to the Crown, accompanying the last journey to the end of her life, ending with a peaceful tone that stays in the collective memory of the world. And the walk, although she had to finish the last period of her rule by herself, this was undoubtedly a tremendous tribute to her remarkable life and the legacy she left behind.
