For most individuals in the modern day, including myself, this is that very first time in our life that we are experiencing the transitional process of the United Kingdom Throne. Not surprisingly there appear to be many traditions and processes put into place to help facilitate all of the necessary courses of action that need to be taken. As an American I am very interested to react and learn more about the timeline of the Queen's funeral, and more specifically the next 10 days. If you enjoy my reaction feel free to leave a like, comment, or subscribe for more videos like this!
I'm a camera operator, and will be working inside Westminster Abbey for the funeral. It will be a huge honour to play a very small role on such an historic occasion
Wow!!!
No pressure though, hey?!!
What an honour just be there!
@@katielouise1867 thanks. Must admit to being a bit nervous, but very proud at the same time too
You'll be able to say 'I was there'.
"I wasn't aware that a mythological creature could be a national animal." Wales would like a word with you. Look at its flag.

Scotland has a stabby unicorn
What about The American First Nation and The Thunderbird.
what about China and the dragon?
Operation London Bridge is hardly a "silly name" for a British operation. It is an iconic Bridge and the capital of the country is London. Why is it silly? "London Bridge Is Falling Down" is not an American lullaby. It is a British nursery rhyme.
It's also was a very well known nursery rhyme once upon a time:
London Bridge has fallen down.
It's very possible that it's unknown by Americans under 40-35 years old.
Blue Orb there are Americans who do know a fair amount about the UK. Unlike the channel owner.
I'm not sure I would describe London Bridge as iconic: the current bridge is modern and featureless. The one it replaced, a much more handsome structure built in 1830, was bought, dismantled and moved to London, Arizona where it is now. The earlier medieval bridge built in 1209 was a notable, impressive and quaint structure with wooden buildings along its length (until they were removed in 1761).
Tower Bridge is the only bridge in London in current existence that I would describe as 'iconic'.
I think the phrase "London Bridge has fallen" was chosen as the code word because of the nursery rhyme which, incidentally, is presumably the source of the title of the musical "My Fair Lady".

I'm going to pay my respects in London on Monday 19th , our country is steeped in tradition and ceremony dating back hundreds of yrs personally I love it its what Britain is famous for , makes me very proud .
Me too and I'm going on Wednesday to watch the procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Cathedral.
@@B-A-L that's lovely , can you imagine the queue to Westminster for her lying in state will be miles and miles long .
@@claregale9011 Yeah, I'm not going to that though because it will be huge and no 'fun' standing in line for hours when you are on your own. I bet I wouldn't even get to view the coffin until the middle of the night but as long as I can see it during the procession I will be content.
@@B-A-L It will be well lit, and 4 of the Kings Guard will stand at each corner, in a square formation. They remain on guard constantly (in shifts) whilst lying in state.
A 'Bank Holiday' is the term we use for a 'Public holiday' here in the UK. This term is used because traditionally the banks would remain closed, and many businesses would not open - therefore allowing people to have a day off work. A Bank holiday usually happens on a Monday, therefore extending the weekend by an extra day.
The Queen's funeral falling on a Monday, has meant that a Bank Holiday was declared to allow the nation to participate. The coronation of King Charles is unlikely to happen straight away as it is also a major logistical event, so likely to happen in 2023, probably when the weather is better in mid-late Spring/early Summer.
This would be not chaotic - the Brits surely not chaotic at this - they have a lot of discipline.
Love from Austria 🇦🇹
The Brits love a good queuing system
@@MichelleEvans_CatLady indeed - I experienced that 🥰 as I visited London
I'm avoiding London for the next 2 weeks. It'll be ram packed.
@@PixelProfessor Probably jam packed as well.
Except if you bad mouth the monarchy, you get slapped..lol
The Lying in State is definitely not chaotic.🙂 We Brits are good at queueing. Currently the queue is between 8 - 12 hours and it's all very civilised. Its being televised 24/7, and I'm finding it quite emotional - very dignified and the vigil by the soldiers is very moving
Just FYI, it wasn't just American troops on that beach in Normandy on D-Day. Lots of other allied troops as well.
Hollywoods version of D Day, indeed the whole of WW2 is fictionalised.
America only entered the war because it was bombed itself at
Pearl Harbour by the Japanese. Prior that for 3 or 4 years Britain and
its Commwealth fought on alone. America refused to help, but eventually
they offered something they named "loan/lease" where they LOANED
us equipment etc. which we had to pay for and we did not finish paying
until recent years. I wonder how Americans know this ? WW2 lasted from
1939 until 1945, WE fought throughout, this tiny group of Islands,
and America graciously, after they themselves were attacked, popped in
for the last two. Americans dont get taught the truth.
Reeeally?
D Day is simply the day on which an awaited event happens. It is used continuously, for different events. The D Day, to you refer, was the actual day (June 6th 1944) that beach landings happened on Normandy. This involved the British, Canadians, US and various other Nationalities. Heroes all.
ANZACs helped too 🇦🇺 🇳🇿
edited from Aussies to ANZACs
Americans are in the habit of thinking they were the only ones involved.
@@Anna_Key And Kiwis!
D-Day is a generic military planning device which can be applied to any future project whatever the subject civilian or military. It allows for constant , dynamic input of new events or circumstances D+1, D+2 etc etc gives as much flexibility as to possibility and is not confined to specific dates
@@Anna_Key Yes, but the actual D-day landing was by the British (2 beaches), U.S. (two beaches), Canada (1 beach)
There was a lovely moment on the morning news a couple days ago where a gentleman was outside Buckingham Place with his new 6day old baby, who they had taken to register on Friday morning. This child is officially the Kings first registered subject! Most of us are registered under the Queen
Since 1983, very few people have qualified as British subjects.
Goodness - that's not just the little 'uns 15 minutes of fame - but a whole life time's worth.😊
@@anta3612 What DO you mean??? People are not being born in the UK??
@@dianehogan2471 What I mean is that British nationality laws have changed over the years. Everyone born in the UK and the empire, and subsequently the commonwealth, used to be a British subject but not necessarily a citizen of the UK. Those born in the UK would be both a citizen and a subject while the status of those born outside of Britain depended on the status of their parents. Since 1983 you are either just a citizen of the UK (no longer a subject of HM) or not. However, in rare cases someone might still be considered a British subject. You'd have to look up British nationality law to know what those handful of unusual qualifying circumstances would be and it's quite complex.
We are British, the lying in State will not be chaotic; it will be quiet, dignified and orderly.

When King Charles III was proclaimed King, Canada also had a proclamation ceremony where we proclaimed him King of Canada.
Australia too.
I am on holiday in the south of Devon and we had a proclamation in the town yesterday.
@@stevenbalekic5683 and Northern Ireland and Wales and commonwealth
Loving your reactions! Balmoral is where the Queen spent her summer every year, going up in August then returning late October. Her children & their families would go up to spend time with her at different times. Bank holiday is just how we refer to national paid holidays and it was announced by King Charles in his address that as the funeral is the Monday we will get the day off so we can watch the historic coverage with everyone else . The reason for such a long time between D-Day and the funeral is due to the historical process that have to happen and her coffin has to lie 'in state' for a clear 4 days to allow the public to pay their respects. It'll be open 24 hours a day from Wednesday, protected by some of the members of her family for short periods and by the Sovereign's Bodyguards and members of the Household Cavalry
Not everyone will necessarily have the Monday off as a Bank Holiday. I volunteer at my local library on a Monday morning and went in today expecting to be told that the place would be closed next Monday for the funeral due to the Bank Holiday announced at the Accession Council. Instead I was told that the local council hadn't made up its mind about whether libraries would close and that they would make a decision later in the week.
Needless to say I told the Library Manager that I wouldn't be in, even if it was going to be open. For the avoidance of doubt, the council concerned is Conservative led.
It’s actually 23 hours a day with 1 hour for “refreshing the coffin”.
Because the Queen passed away in Scotland she has been laying "at rest" temporarily in St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh since around 3pm yesterday, 12th Sept. The public have been able to pay their respects by passing by the coffin, draped in the Scottish Royal Standard and guarded on all four corners by her Scottish bodyguard, the Royal Company of Archers, with the Scottish Crown atop the coffin. My wife and I were lucky enough to be able to do so last night. We queued from 4.30pm to 9.30pm before finally getting into St. Giles Cathedral. A very special and moving moment. We couldn't miss the opportunity as residents of Edinburgh. She is being flown to London later today.
A national Bank holiday (always paid leave here in the UK) has been granted for the day of the Queen's funeral on Monday 19 September.
There are a few errors. Balmoral Castle is a private residence of the Queen's, but she had an official Palace in Scotland, in which she stayed a few days each year - the Palace of Holyroodhouse. (Misspelt on the video; it is pronounced "holly- ".)
The hearse has by now been driven down from Balmoral to Edinburgh, but they did it slowly. This gave the Scots the opportunity to line the route to give their respects. The village near Balmoral, Ballater, where the Queen was well known, was given particular attention, and a moving moment was when a load of tractors lined the route. ( The Queen was known to be very interested in farming.)
Princess Anne, a tough and capable lady, nevertheless always gave her mother massive respect, and a touching moment is that when her mother's coffin arrived at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, she greeted it with a profound curtsey.
On Saturday, after the Accession Council, the Proclamations started; I recommend you look at either the Principal Proclamation, at St James's Palace, or the Proclamation to the City of London, at the Royal Exchange. The Royal Trumpeters and the Heralds make a great spectacle, and the wording of the Proclamation is magnificent.
Other commenters have rightly raved about Westminster Hall - which dates from 1090! So much history has happened in it.
On the Queen's coffin at the Lying in State will be the Imperial State Crown, the Orb, and the Royal Sceptre. This Crown contains fabulous and historic jewels. Not only is there second largest cut diamond in the world - Star of Africa No 2 - but there is a large uncut spinel, above it, given by Pedro the Cruel, King of Castile, as poor recompense, to Edward, Prince of Wales, the "Black Prince", after had won a battle for him in Spain in 1367. It is known as the 'Black Prince's Ruby', and was worn in the battle-helm of Henry V at Agincourt in 1415.
And the Royal Sceptre contains the largest cut diamond in the world, Star of Africa No 1.
Look out for the Vigil of the Princes.
I'm a Churchwarden of a small Church of England church. We were formally advised of "Operation London Bridge" three years ago!
It’s not the UK monarchy if you’re talking about Canada - it’s the Canadian monarchy. It’s a completely separate legal institution that just happens to be occupied by the same person as the British Crown. Same with Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Papua New Guinea etc etc. Charles is king of all these countries separately, as they are independent sovereign nations with their own institutions of monarchy.
Completely bizarre I know
Well said. It’s hard for people outside to grasp the concept of Commonwealth countries having the Queen (now King) of England as their head of state yet realising that we are NOT colonies but independent sovereign nations 🇦🇺
@@Dr_KAP it’s hard to grasp cos it’s bonkers!

@@jonathanodude6660 I know… doesn’t make it less bizarre
The RF have codenames for many eventualities! The funeral arrangements for the late Queen Mother were codenamed 'Tay Bridge' (a place in Scotland). When Princess Diana died there was no plan because it was so unexpected, so they had to use a tweaked version of Tay Bridge.
Some trivia: at the Queen Mother's lying in state, one of the military who stood in vigil at each corner of the coffin was the singer James Blunt, who was an army officer at the time.
The Codename for Churchill's funeral was "Operation Hope Not".
Not two weeks off, 19th September day of national mourning as the Queen's funeral takes place. The time in between is a time of national mourning too. Lots of official processes take place in UK and also in some countries globally.
London Bridge is falling down - is a song which was written in 1744 and the operational code name for the funeral arrangements for the queen. All main royals have a code name to ensure a seamless transition from one monach to another. Funeral arrangements are made years in advance and are updated each year to take into consideration any kind of change.
Operation London Bridge is the official code name for the death of a Monarch in the UK exactly for the reason you mentioned, London Bridge in days of old was one of the most important river Thames crossings and the main unifier of London, north and south of the thames. It was only really as London expanded that further bridges were built upon the Thames and most of these around the 1800s or newer… hence why the “London Bridge is falling down” song is one that has stuck through the ages. Everyone has at least heard about and knows about London Bridge… when the news first breaks of a monarchs passing, the code “London Bridge is Down” has historically been used between leading authorities, emergency services and news broadcasters (typically the BBC as the official state news broadcaster) to pass this information between each other without causing public distress, panic etc. The effectiveness of this has since been watered down due to the ease of access to information with the invention of the internet.
In Scotland it's the unicorn has fallen
Yes a Bank Holiday is just an expression for a Public Holiday. I think it comes from banks being closed on those days. The funeral is set for Monday 19th and they have announced a Bank Holiday though it is still at the discretion of individual employers.
Interestingly our public holiday has been declared as 22 September- even though her funeral would be on the 20th (Australian time)!
Balmoral Castle was one of the Queen's favourite residences and where she always traditionally spent the summer months until mid-September.
Have to point out to those who do not know, that these many Palaces
Castles etc. do not BELONG to the royals, they belong to the State,
@@marycarver1542 Balmoral was the personal property of the Monarch and not part of the Crown Estate. Same goes for Sandringham.
@@marycarver1542 Balmoral and Sandringham are private Royal residences and do not belong to The Crown Estate, but the rest do.
You don’t need to worry about Brits being ‘civil’ during the lying in state. They will line up quietly and file past the coffin in an orderly manner. They have done this before and are respectful. The funerals of royalty are planned in advance and rehearsed. The only exception was Diana. The Queen Mother was asked if she would allow her plan to be used and she agreed. Each plan is given a code name to make discussions easier. This is part of the benefit of following tradition and protocol, people can spring into action without dithering around in committee meetings.
The term "D-Day" (and H-Hour) are standard tools in military planning (and have been for years) - the connection between the term D-Day and the Invasion of Europe in WW2 is when the term D-Day escaped tothe public - BTW the US part of the Invasion of Europe was only 40% of the forces involved.
I heard that a lot of Royal protocols were sorted out and revised after the death of Queen Victoria in 1901. As she had reigned for 63 years, and a there weren't a lot of people around who just remembered how things were supposed to be done. There were a lot of arguments over things like the wording of the Coronation Service. At the Coronation of Edward VII, "The ageing and almost blind Archbishop of Canterbury had the prayers printed in large letters on card so he could see them. He still mis-read some of them and at the moment of crowning (after he appeared to drop the crown) he placed it on the King's head the wrong way round! " - D Day is a general military term for the start of any military operation. - A "Bank Holiday" is a national paid holiday when the banks are also closed. Usually you would expect to be paid double time, or have a day off in leu if you work on a bank holiday.
The difference is you replace your Presidents every 4/8 yrs ,this dear lady has been working in our service since she turned 21 when she vowed her life to duty whether her life be long or short. She became Queen aged just 25.
WORKING being the operative word. I don't think that Trump did a full day's work in 4 years
You should go see the amount of people that are waiting( not chaotically) but patiently to view the coffin in Edinburgh to pay their respects before her coffin heads to London, It’s very moving
That day in WW2 was "Operation Overlord" and it wasn't just Americans that fought in it. Many British, my grandfather included, took part.
It's not operation London Bridge, but Unicorn as she died in Scotland. The Crown passed to King Charles. The process has been laid out for years, may have minor tweaks to accommodate changes. We shall be granted one day off, her funeral. It is a sad but glorious time as we say farewell to one Monarch and welcome the next. This is a process that has been carried out for centuries. We feel like witnesses to history as we contemplate our long history as we look to the future. With the provision of modern technology we can observe ceremonies being carried out, one has its place so far back in time, we know it was in existence in 600 AD. I feel so sad for our new King with no time to grieve as he carries out endless duties. God save the Queen long live the King.
Yes, Catherine, I don't know why he referred to 'Operation London Bridge. x
Wrong. Operation Unicorn is an extension to Operation London Bridge and covers the activities in Scotland only. Both plans have been activated.
@@citizenpb Thanks, I didn't know that.
@@philippahusain7778 Happy to help, it so rarely happens.
Every summer the Queen spent her summers in Scotland at Balmoral, roughly 3 months. She absolutely loved Balmoral and Scotland and it is said to be her favourite place.
Thanks for your genuine curiosity. And basic respect. Quite rare these days!!! As a Canadian we are attuned much more to terms, protocols etc although the way monarchal processes play out here (and other countries) is greatly adapted.
Westminster Hall was built by William the Conquer 's son, upgraded by King Richard II, part of the Palace of Westminster, which includes the Houses of Parliament. The Authorities are overwhelmed by the crowds wishing to pay their respect. They had totally underestimated the amount.
The funeral will be held on the 19th in Westminster Abbey. The coffin will then be taken to Windsor Castle where the commital service will be held in St Georges chapel in the Castle & she will be laid to rest beside her late husband, Prince Phillip the Duke of Edinburgh.
The main thing to bare in mind with the plans for Her Majesty’s funeral is that those plans were drawn up years ago, and that the outline planning contains not only the ceremonial events, the logistics of travel for the Queens casket, VIPs, heads of state etc, London travel infrastructure for tourists and mourners, the King and other family members travel to the four nations and much much much more, but most importantly they also contain the Queens wishes for the whole period, those wishes, as with her late husband, have been meticulously prepared with Her Majesty years ago and constantly updated as time went on. The military have their own plans in place to fulfil their ceremonial duties and the Queens wishes, and the same is true of any of the agencies that have duties to perform. This whole timeline is not something that is being hastily organised, it is in essence a huge civil and military operation that has been refined over the years and has hopefully covered any eventuality. The King can’t be crowned until after the Queen is in her final resting place, and that is a whole different ballgame.
I like your surprise at the unicorn being the national animal of Scotland, yet you were pretty chill (in a previous vid) about the Welsh dragon, because dragons are totally regular beasts of course. Love your vids, I've learned a few things myself from them, and I'm an Englishman. 🏴
Do you know why the Scots have the Unicorn???? It's because it was considered to be alongside the dragon the only beasts who could kill the lion national symbol of England
Worth googling Westminster hall. 900 years old, site of Henry VIIIs coronation feast, trial of Charles’s II and Guy Fawkes. Incredible building and the only original part of the medieval palace left after the fire of 1834 and a previous one in Tudor times. People will file past in 2 orderly queues as they did with the Queen mothers lying in state in the same hall. It’s probably on CZcams.
*Charles I
And the original first court in English Law. The Word "Bench" as in King's Bench & Queens Bench referred to the Bench the Law Lords sat in Westminster Hall.
Also the site of the trial of The East India company for crimes against India.
Queen Elizabeth considered Canada her second home. She visited Canada more than any of the Commonwealth countries. Trudeau, spoke from the heart. He has known har since he was a child. His father was our Prime Minister ( Pierre Elliot Trudeau ). He was our PM for 15 and one half years.
@@xander8559 Of course ….no question re Balmoral…. She considered Canada her second home, of the Commonwealth countries! She gave a famous statement once to President Reagan, during a state visit.. she had said she had to return “home” the next day when she was in fact going to Canada. She visited Canada more than any other Commonwealth country. She made 22 official visits, and Philip had been here 46 times.

HM Queen Elizabeth II transported back to London via the Royal Air Force’s C17 Globemaster aircraft.
ZZ177, the C17 in question, operated KRF01R to RAF Northolt from Edinburgh Airport.
The aircraft number was ZZ177 turn that upside down and it reads LLIZZ.
This is from plans that were re-written when an update was required.
“A dress rehearsal at RAF Northolt provided that it would work, but the impact of changing from a smart-looking business jet to a more utilitarian C17 was fairly significant, and so approval from the Palace for the change to our plans was sought.”
“The response that came back from HM The Queen was: ‘If it’s good enough for my boys, then it’s good enough for me”.
The Queen had two residences in Scotland, Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh where her remains were taken yesterday, that was her official Scottish Residence. Balmoral Castle in the North East of Scotland was where she spent every summer from I believe July until October and where she sadly passed away. She will remain in Scotland until the 13th of September then she will be flown to London, it was supposed to be by train but has now been changed
D-Day in World War II was not just an American operation - the US attacked two beaches - Utah and Omaha Beach. The British (composed of British, Canadian and Anzac forces) attacked three beaches - Sword, Juno and Gold beaches. The highest casualties occurred on Omaha beach, where 2,000 U.S. troops were killed, wounded or went missing; at Sword Beach and Gold Beach, where 2,000 British troops were killed, wounded or went missing; and at Juno beach, where 340 Canadian soldiers were killed and another 574 wounded. The Americans at Utah beach lost 197 soldiers
There was also the air assault, including paratroopers from many of the Allied nations.
I wanted to comment on your wonderful tribute to the Queen upon her passing in your previous video. She certainly was amazing! In addition to her infamous hats I read that she always wore "bright" colors" otherwise no one would notice her! She said she would just blend away! I thought that was quite interesting and humorous!
The most famous D-Day is the Normandy landing. But in fact the term D-Day is just a generic term meaning "the important day" or "the day wit the capital D". It is used very often to mark the most important day for a plan of any kind. The similar goes for the H-Hour with basically the same meaning: the most important hour of a plan.
I am kind of surprised it is not used widely in America.
British response to "I don't know much about Truss". Neither do we
You don't know much about politics, do you. She has been a senior politician since 2010.
Yes we are at the service in Edinburgh cathedral. It was lovely.
I love your channel keep up the great stuff
I have a friend who was in the official communication chain and she said that the saddest moment in her working life was when she had to send out the coded message 'London Bridge is Down' before the offical announcement.
The other mythical creature adopted as national symbol is the dragon.
Dragon in Wales, Unicorn in Scotland.
The Queen has two main residences in Scotland. Balmoral where she spent summer and the Palace Of Holyrood House in Edinburgh.
"I was not aware that a fictional creature could be a national symbol" 🦄 I am really smiling at your quizzical expressions in this reaction....so interesting to hear of your - sometimes confused - perspective on all of this 🤗

@@wellingboroughanddistrictu3a oh yes, of course.... 😅
One of King Charles ' early announcements was of a bank holiday on September 19th. Oh dear Jack said Charles first official duty was the ceremony of the KIngs. He meant the Ceremony of the Keys - when Charles is given the keys to the City of Edinburgh. That happened a couple of hours ago. Yesterday saw the Queen's coffin driven from Balmoral to Aberdeen then down the east coast of Scotland to Dundee ,Perth and finally over the dramatic new bridge ( the Queensferry Crossing) over the Forth , to Edinburgh. The scenery was lovely.
Stunning scenery on the way from Balmoral to Edinburgh, and many people waited at the roadside to see the funeral party drive by. In Edinburgh the streets were packed solid with thousands paying their respects.
It's safe to say Westminster Hall is one of the most historically significant buildings in the world. It's almost 1,000 years old and was the centre point for the birth and evolution of democracy in England (and therefore also the US and the rest of the former British Empire).
During the Blitz, Churchill made it clear that he would accept the rest of the Houses of Parliament being destroyed but that Westminster Hall must be saved at all costs.
It is also I believe, the only remaining part of the old Palace of Westminster that dates back to at least the Tudor period. It is also where Charles I had his trial. Ironic really given we now have a King Charles
I would imagine that the funeral will blow you away the Brits really know how to put on a show.I have heard that this will be the biggest state funeral for about 300yrs and has been planed for years. I wouldn't expect the coronation to take place until next year. Balmoral is not the official residence of the Queen in Scotland that is Holyrood .Balmoral is privately owned by the Queen
I agree I saw the last state funeral which was Churchill's it was amazing to watch. They have said that when she is laid in state in Westminster Hall they expect 750,000 people to file past her coffin, people can expect to cue for 5 miles and up to 30 hours
The Queen has Balmoral castle in Scotland was her private holiday home. But her official residence was Hollyrood Palace in Edinburgh which is owned by the Scottish state. The official home of Scottish Royalty.
Tyler, as a Brit I enjoyed your video on your thoughts on the Queen’s death. It does seem a lot of pomp and prolonged ceremonies etc but the Royal family involve the public in these matters, for example the procession with the coffin in Scotland and in London the coffin will lie in state so the public can view it and apparently thousands are expected to make the trip and queue to pay their respects. Although most of us respected the Queen the majority are not minded to go and wait for hours to see the coffin nor go and lay flowers at Buckingham Palace. Bank holiday means a national holiday which is usually paid, as you in the USA have holidays on Labour Day, Thanksgiving etc. The word ‘bank’ originates from a day when the banks in England would be officially closed for the day, hence bank holiday rather than national holiday.
We dont know anything about liz truss over here in the uk either 😀 we dont get two weeks off. There is a bank holiday for the funeral but its not mandatory for employers to give staff the day off. The advice to employers is to be sensitive to people wanting to have the day off to watch the funeral
Most British people do know about Liz Truss, she's been a senior politician for years, maybe you just aren't very interested in politics.

I believe that Monday 19th is now bank Holiday Monday. Still waiting to hear off my work if we're having the day off or not
We get one day off on Monday the 19th which is called a bank holiday to watch the funeral on television. Royal families from all over the world plus prime ministers/presidents etc. However it was announced that no one will be able to come on private planes so it will be interesting to see who will be coming.
Pretty much everything is back a day, so today (Monday) is D+3 and funeral is next Monday which would be 11 days after her death rather than 10. They have announced Monday as a Public Holiday so a lot of businesses will be closed to allow the people time off to watch the funeral and mourn.
Monarchs are buried in Westminster Abbey, St George’s chapel, within the grounds of Windsor Castle & Queen Victoria is buried beside Prince Albert in the Royal Mausoleum at Frogmore in the grounds of Windsor Castle. Westminster hall is 900 years old, Guy Fawkes, Charles I & William Wallace were tried & where medieval kings and queens hosted magnificent medieval banquets
London Bridge is not an American lullaby... It's a British nursery rhyme.
D-Day was not just an American landing, it was also British and there colonies.
A Bank Holiday is an official holiday when banks and most businesses are closed for a day (normally on a Monday but not always).
She could have died abroad which would have been further...
Westminster Hall is the oldest building in the Palace of Westminster which is the meeting place for the House of Lords and Common.
Rolling coverage on television of each and every ceremony.
There's also a residence in Norfolk at Sandringham where she used to spend Christmas and also in Northern Ireland at Hillsborough castle
Sandringham actually IS the Queens private Estate.
A 'Bank Holiday' is a national holiday when most businesses - including Banks- are closed. As we are now talking the 19th, there has been a Bank Holiday announced.
Liz Truss had literally JUST announced her plans for dealing with the current crises in Britain when the news of the Queen's failing health was passed to her- the debate about her policies was just about to start, and had to be abandoned.
The King is travelling to Edinburgh today (D+4) to do the procession etc. So we are one day behind schedule at all points now.
'London Bridge' is just about the major bridge over the Thames in the centre of London- so as well as being the subject of the Nursery Rhyme, it is also a serious London landmark.
She was Queen for almost half of Canada's 155 years. The Prime Minister of Canada also met the Queen a few time while he (Justin) was a child his Dad was Prime Minister of Canada in the 70 and early 80s. D-Day also included other countries as well just not you Americans. These traditions in the UK are something to watch nobody does it better and some of these traditions go back a thousand years. GOD SAVE THE KING from Canada
When Trudeau talks about modern Canada he’s not talking about technology so much as the fact that Canada only became a fully independent country within the queen’s reign - full Canadian sovereignty was only achieved in 1982
Most royal residences are the property of the nation -- Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and so on. Balmoral is the private property of the monarch and has been a sort of 'summer getaway' or holiday home for royals since 1852.
They are called and owned by the Crown property.
I think the castle there was built by Prince Albert for Q Victoria.
@@barbaradyson6951 Okay. We could get technical about who 'owns' Crown property. My point is that Balmoral is not Crown property.
Tyler If you ever read this. Prime Minister of Canada Justin his father was also Prime minister of Canada. The queen held him as a baby.
D-Day - yes it's named after the Normandy landings in WW2. British troops were also involved, it's known to us.
London Bridge is a nursery rhyme. For us Brits it relates to the matter it's about. That the Queen is a major landmark/ part of our social infrastructure that when she dies. Like the rhyme. She has died or fallen like the tale and its significance is reflected in the name.
They're called operations, as a state funeral is a huge undertaking and cost. So it has been planned for years.
I can't remember the name of the Queen mother's funeral which was also a huge affair. But if you go back in history, Princess Diana was such a shock death and meant so much to the people that the same funeral plan "operation" was put in place for her as well, unheard of for someone who no longer officially was part of the royal family.
D - day also marks the battles on the beaches of France here too. There were all Ally armies there, not just Americans. And again is poignant. As it was very traumatic, again reflecting the nation's mood if the monarchs death. Just FYI 😉
I think the Queen Mother's was called Operation Tay Bridge.
"London Bridge is falling down". Entirely appropriate, it would seem to me.
Westminster Hall is in the parliament complex. It is the hall where Charles 1st was tried by Parliament in 1649 and thereafter executed. The queens funeral service will be in westminster abbey, 11th century cathedral next to Parliament and where she was married in 1947. After the funeral she will be taken to Windsor where she will be interred with Philip and her sister, father and mother.
The Queen travelled from Balmoral to Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh yesterday (11th September). Today, there was a procession to move the Queen from Holyrood Palace to St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh where she will lay in state in order for people to pay respects. Tomorrow (13th) evening she will be flown from Edinburgh to London.
No , we don’t get two weeks off and business has carried on , there will be a public holiday on the day of the funeral but many people , myself included will be at work. D day just means designated day
unfortently :(
I think he meant, in general, if there's a bereavement in your immediate family.
And D-Day. Tyler we ALL call the WWII Invasion of Normandy D-Day. The British were there, you know. Not just Americans. The allies left for Normandy from Britain. The use of the phrase in relation to the late Queen's Funeral is just to denote the consequence of the day all the preamble is leading up to ie the State Funeral.
Great video sir thanks bud
4:05sec... The lullaby London bridge is falling down I suggest you look into the meaning behind it It's not just a lullaby🏴👍
31:49 RIP Frunco Pop. Nice reaction and appreciated m8. Long live the King 🇬🇧🇺🇸
When Princess Diana died, she had no plan so they based her funeral on the queen mothers with some adaptions.
At the moment I am still in a state of shock, not because Her Majesty passed away but because of the speed that she declined, from meeting and approving L Truss as our new prime minister to 48 hours later passing away, most of us in the United Kingdom were of the opinion that after the passing of the Duke of Edinburgh, her husband and, for want of a better term, soulmate was entering the final episode of her reign as our monarch, but even so it came so quickly that it is only really sinking in, for myself that is. There has been a huge wave of sorrow in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧, The Commonwealth, territory’s and around the world, Monday the 19th 2022 is a day that I will get hit hard with sorrow, and it is also the day when the history, traditions, pomp and ceremonial brilliance of the United Kingdom will shine brightly, it will be a day that for the first time in living memory that the funeral will be beamed live around the world, in colour and celebrating her life. R.I.P your Majesty, your duty is done, God Save The King.
You are correct Monday the 19th has been declared as a bank holiday, just like Labour Day is in America.
Yes, London Bridge is a codename for Queen Elizabeth II death. For her father´s death the codename of Hyde Park Corner and for Prince Phillip death it was Fourth Bridge.
There's no confusion really, the Queen is dead, long live the King. This may sound brutal but it ensures seamless continuity. The Queen passed in Scotland so operation Unicorn was put in place. All those involved would know exactly what to do. RIP our beloved Queen
D-Day Landings: Tuesday, 6 June 1944 (Codename: Operation Neptune)
Invasion to start the liberation of France and the rest of Europe (Operation Overlord), 50 miles of coastal beaches of Normandy were stormed in 5 sectors by the Allied Armies as follows:-
First Army: USA
Utah Sector
Omaha Sector
Second Army:
British and Commonwealth
Gold Sector
Juno Sector
Sword Sector
My father was there. He was wounded whilst fighting through northern France to liberate Paris.
He was in the British 8th Army (the Desert Rats) saw action through all the main theatres of War in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. He was 21 in 1939 served for 6 years. Demobbed at 27 in 1945.
I have all his WW2 medals. They will pass to my sons when I'm gone.
Her Majesty also had communication with every U.S. President from Dwight D Eissennour
I think Operation London Bridge is a brilliant name because the Sovereign has had close ties to the city of London for 1,000 years.
Prince Philip's funeral plans were called Operation Forth Bridge because he was Duke of Edinburgh and the River Forth is in Scotland.
It turned out to be operation unicorn as she passed away in Scotland.
@@amsodoneworkingnow1978 you're right, and that's an even better name.
@@Anna_Key a unique plan for a unique Lady.
Lord knows she will be missed by many.
God bless her children even though they are all in prime of life.
Did you see that heartbreaking curtsey from The Princess Royal to her mother's coffin then the four of them standing a 20 minutes vigil by the coffin in St. Giles while public walking around them to pay their Respects to The Queen and television cameras of the world zooming right into their faces. All looked broken yet still there they stood.On duty as taught by their parents.
And they have to do it all again in London.
WHAT A FAMILY HOW DEEP SERVICE IS INGRAINED IN EACH ONE OF THEM
GOD BLESS THE KING AND HIS SIBLINGS.
There's no guarantee that the coronation will happen that quickly. I've heard people suggesting it may be months from now. The Queen's coronation didn't happen for over a year.
its likely early next year, it wont happen in winter due to weather and will likely be in early spring. the queens coronation was 15 months after the death of King George.
Most likely next June.
All the insignia and uniforms with E 11 R will need to be changed. This will take some time so next summer at the earliest probably.
I think they will wait to May or June if even that early as said in here already the last one took over year to happen
Due to the Queens long reign there are few who have seen, let alone taken part in many of the ceremonies taking place during the 10 day period. For example, it is the first time the public have seen the ceremony of Proclamation in Kensington Palace as traditionally it has been private, also not reported on the mainstream media are public ceremonies of proclamation being held in front of town/city halls across the country.
Westminster Abbey is the traditional place of burial for monarchs, but in 1810 the location was moved to St Georges Chapel in Winsor Castle. It is unlikely the public will get to see the final committal as this is considered the time when the immediate family say goodbye.
Westminster Hall built in the 1097 by William II, it is the last remaining piece of the Palace of Westminster, which was burnt down in 1834. It has several uses related to Parliament, For example, Barack Obama's 2011 address to Parliament, since 1910 it has been location for lying in state of the dead monarch.
As a brit I really appreciate your genuine interest in and respect for the death of Our Queen
They are flying her back, Westminster Hall is the only original part of Westminster palace (Parliament) that wasn’t destroyed by fire. Also Scotland has a unicorn wales has a dragon as its national animal.
I am very baffled by the claim in the video that the Coronation will happen just after the end of mourning.
That has just not happened before and I am convinced that this will not happen this time. Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation happened sixteen months after the death of her father. Her father’s Coronation happened very quickly only five months after his accession, but then he was crowned on the date long planned for his (now abdicated) brother. Had Edward VIII been crowned it would have been fifteen months after his accession.
It all depends, it takes place after the official period of mourning, but that varies from monarch to monarch.
From William I onwards monarchs were crowned on the same day they became King, this continued until Edward I. He went to the opposite extreme and it was 22 months between him becoming King and his Coronation - the longest of any English/British monarch to this day.
From then on it ranged from 2 weeks to 2 months, until James I & VI. He was crowned King of Scotland immediately, probably because his mother had been forced to abdicate in his favour whilst he was still a young child. So those responsible for the power grab needed a quick Coronation. But when he became King of England it was over a year before his Coronation. Likewise with his son, Charles I, and 1st grand-son, Charles II. Although James II & VII was much quicker at only 2 months.
William and Mary had their Coronation immediately, but that’s likely because they’d overthrown James II & VII and needed to establish their claim to throne quickly.
Since then the has ranged from 1 month to 18 months. Edward VII’s Coronation had to be postponed because he had appendicitis and almost died. George VI (the Queen’s father) had his only 5 months after becoming King, possibly because the plans were already underway for his brother’s Coronation.
Queen Elizabeth II Coronation was 16 months after she became Queen, in large part because it had become a much bigger event, with leaders travelling from around the world at a time when travel was more difficult and many were still feeling the impact of WWII.
From what I’ve heard this time around most experts don’t seem to think it will be more than a few months. So probably in early spring.
The Unicorn, the Welsh red Dragon and the English lion, were at one time all thought to exist! When one has a kingdom that is well over 1000 years old all sorts of weird stuff survives. These beasts are the heraldic badges of the 3 kingdoms that make up Great Britain, and act as Bearers (they stand ether side of the shield, holding it upright) And yes I do know that Northern Ireland is also part of GB.
Strictly speaking Northern Ireland is not part of Great Britain but is part of the United Kingdom. Great Britain refers to the Kingdoms of England and Scotland and the Principality of Wales and the small islands off their coasts.
Wales has a dragon.
Drakeford is a pushy cat not a dragon.
The Queen’s body will be flown to RAF Northolt and driven to Westminster Hall to lie in state. There will be a bank holiday on Monday 19th September The Queen’s Funeral. Some places will close but not many as a bank holiday is normal business day for some businesses.
D-Day is just short for Designated Day, used for any operation where the exact date is unknown, and that included Operation Overlord during World War 2 as you mentioned.
A bank holiday is an official holiday that takes place every year to mark various significant events in our history (all on monday). We have several all ready and yes, it has Bern confirmed that there will be a bank holiday on the day of her funeral.
Balmoral is where she spends the summer holiday.
D day - the day AMERICANS attacked a beach in Normandy? You might like to check that out. There were other nations there too.
Omg
Haha, American washing right there.
😄Got to love the way America teaches history.
Australians were there too 🇦🇺 😃 doing our bit to thwart the Nazis
Fine. But, the person in charge was *American* Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The plans for the Queen’s death have been in place for years. The plan was known as, “London Bridge”. All the monarchs and Prince Philip’s funeral were given bridge titles. There was a plan should she die in Scotland - “Unicorn”. So she died at Balmoral, Scotland, so there’s an additional set of protocol and services. Balmoral is beautiful - it was owned by the Queen, at least it was originally bought by Prince Albert to avoid it being incorporated into the Crown Estates. It’s 50k acres, with a salmon river, mountains, deer stalking, etc.
