The 'we' would be everyone under the colors of the British Empire. Missed, because that is the reverence due the sovereign of the same. It's not about her specifically - and at the same time it is. Much like an officer in the military. You salute the rank, you can come later to salute the person. Having earned your personal respect in experience or perhaps friendship. Elizabeth was a kind loving girl when she visited here. Turned alot of opinions around. She may have seemed distant and cold as she aged - but the world changed. Into an era that those from hers could scarcely recognise. Despite that she did her best to live up to her promise within the remit of what the corrupt UK parliament allows. In all ways she was someone to be respected. And in that way, it would be weird not to miss her - when you consider what lies beyond. The British have in truth had several decades of self loathing and defamation forced upon them. A paid narrative, one sided and disrespectful. Pushed by a corrupt and vile group of people. Worse than your image of the Royals. Yet money is power. And power they have. Everyone else just jumps to their party tune. Pandemics. Political musical chairs. It's all the same people. And when they do have full control around the world. When their amount of caring for the people reaches a point so low it's like the days of Rome, killing people wherever and however they like. Then like us you will regret the day you asked to readily for change. And instead receive brutality you thought worse in the past. There is no perfect leader. No perfect system. But some are so much worse than you realize. Queen Elizabeth never ordered soldiers to eat their own relatives. But such was the fate of my people. Asked to cut open their own sons and daughters and eat their livers. To prove their loyalty. Some were made to r*pe them with pieces of wood and other objects until they died. You have no idea what sort of hell ridden world the British marched through in those days. But our records are not that old and not that forgotten. We remember the British Governor here vomitting reading it. The reports of my own sister taken to Masanjia and tortured until she just wanted to fade away and be left to pass on. Do yourself a favour. Don't just read what they provide for you. Go well out of your way. To the black slave traders who sold their own people to whites. To the white people who were slaves. To the terrorists who beheaded British soldiers just because they wanted to bring education and fresh water. The British did many bad things. They also did many good things. And you never hear about the latter. Ask yourself why that is. And who really wrote the history book.
He seemed the most emotional a few minutes later when they removed the crown, scepter and orb from her casket to the altar. We know he was marching around endlessly for days and had been in at least three different cities, but I think that's when it kicked in that his mom was gone and his life would be forever changed.
I was one of the many outside when they sang god save the king, it was broadcast live on the speakers and as soon as the song finished the heat from the sun bursted with intensity for a moment
He held it together so well , his duty kicked in the minute the Queen was pronounced dead . This has been a very long and emotional process for him , probably more so than his siblings ,
I know it was protocol for them to attend to various public duties upon her death, but if it were up to me, they would have had a few weeks of bereavement leave like anyone else when a family member passes. They might have to participate in the funeral processions & the vigils, but that would be it. I wish the other stuff could have waited until after her funeral. I’m wondering if any of them had a chance to rest after all of this? Maybe I’m just weird, but they are human, too. They need to be able to go have a good cry when they need it.
My belovéd Mother passed away suddenly on 5 April 2023. She loved to tell me stories of being born during the Second World War, and her happy, happy memories of the street parties and fun when Her Late Majesty, the Princess Elizabeth was crowned Queen. She was SO looking forward to seeing another Coronation, this time of HM King Charles III. Sadly she never got to see it....God rest Her Late Majesty, God rest my Mum ❤😞😞😞
Condolences for your mother. It's sad to loose your parents no matter how old are they , but it's unavoidable . God rest the Queen and your mother too. Athens Greece.

@@71JediKnight The Queen was heavily involved in the planning of her funeral, including the music to be played. She chose for the national anthem to be played, knowing full well it would be God save the King.
Sweetie, The National Anthem is played at a plethora of events etc. The Queen did not ‘choose’ for this to be played, it is just following protocol at State events. Please educate yourself on Royal matters, it will save you looking slightly silly!

Gotta hand it to the Brits, they can do a funeral, no holds barred. I thought the royal weddings were tradition- riddled formality, but seeing this funeral makes me realize how much they have been holding out. Wow. Impressive. (Nice candle placement in that last shot, guys!)
I am 60 in July and I have only ever heard God Save the Queen in 7 different decades. The Queen had been on the throne 11 years at my birth. This is the astonishing longevity of her reign.
I’m 21 and only knew Queen Elizabeth II all my life until September last year. I still can’t get over how Woody.EXE and King Charles started their reigns on the same day. My mother became Princess of Wales on September 6th, just 25 years after Diana’s funeral
I'm not British, but hearing God save the Queen was so normal for me all my life. I can't even imagine what a hard transition this must be for the British people. I felt so sorry for the royal family, seeing them like this, and I miss the Queen very much.
So great of you to say that.Yes we the public (generally) miss her greatly. We ,again generally welcome KING Charles to be our King & Kings Consort Camilla .

@@thehair1474 But he somehow managed to kll millions of Indians during the colonial period. Of course, who cares about a few million poor Indians, isn't it?
It suits solemn occasions, I think. A typical football/soccer crowd racing ahead of the music and yelling "na na na na!" over the bridge into the chorus takes the shine off a bit. Sung with respect like this, it's pretty powerful.
Seeing him clearly using all his might to fight back his tears is so hard to watch. Losing my own mother is something I hope I won’t have to experience for a very long time.
The Queen made history at 25 and in her passing at 96 she is still making history. The royal family history for centuries is very well documented in detail to this day. I do say Queen Elizabeth was the Queens'- Queen. Never in this lifetime will there ever be another Queen like her Majesty. She was truly one-of-a-kind. A very well-deserved toast to you 🍷. Vaya Con Dios - Milady.
I remember being 13 singing God save the Queen whilst carrying my great grandmother’s coffin. Literally the whole of Wales tuned in for her funeral to see their future Queen with all my strength i had. The same happened for my late friend’s funeral a year later
This sounds are as celestial as the graceful soul they are leading to the next world,i am speachless after seen such a proper magnificent ceremony she will always be a QUEEN.
The clip commences with the sounding of "the Reveille' by the Trumpeters of the Household Cavalry. 'Last Post' had already been sounded by the buglers of The Royal Marines. This was then followed by 'The Fanfare' prior to 'God Save the King' (2 verses) which was then then played/sung.
As an American, born in a Swiss German and English town founded in 1710 in America, Its still very moving to see this. The Queen truely represented what service meant in our Western Civilization and societies. Very moving display.
Finally "God Save the King" come back after 7 decades. Long live His Majesty King Charles III !! This version (took from The Funeral Ceremony of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II) make me goosebumps because really deep and powerful arrangements.
Too bad that unless something disastrous happens, or the next two king's lives are short, none of us living as adults now are likely to hear "God Save the Queen" ever again.
@@anyaw340 If George abdicates or refuses the crown (you never know, and it need not be dishonourably done), his sister may become queen. Since male primogeniture no longer decides who the net heir is she will not be passed over for Louis. Could be a Queen Charlotte in our future without anything bad necessarily having to happen to George.
You held yourself with dignity and poise for our beloved late Queen's funeral. God save the King! May Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip now rest together once more forevermore.🇦🇺🇬🇧
I held it together that day because as Queen, I’m not really allowed to show emotion but Woody.EXE allowed it because he’s the greatest king Wales has ever had and no one can replace us 2
I moved to the UK in 2019 ... and man I wish we could all just stand together under one banner and consider ourselves British rather than being split up in all those different groups and sub-cultures... I miss the sense of belonging. This anthem is so powerful This nation could be so powerful... god I wish this monarchy and this country gain back their strength. God save the King.
gosh, I am having goosebumps. God save our gracious king, Long Live our Noble King, God save Our King, Send him victorious happy, and glorious Long live our noble King God save our King.🙏🙏🙏
A beautiful and majestic playing of the National Anthem. A very historic moment in time. The new king standing before the coffin of his mother and listening to the anthem being sung with the lyrics now altered for him, the new king. God Save the King.
The Best Hymn Of God Save Our Queen saved for the last, truly emotional could see the sorrow and pain In King Charles||| eyes I can feel how it's to lose a mother , Lots of Love to the Royal Family From India the colony they once ruled
I lost My Mother back in 2011. I know how much of a loss that the British Royal Family and the People the United Kingdom of Great Britain are feeling. The last Monarch of World War II has past away. A part of "The Greatest Generation."
Even in South Africa where we've had an at times complicated relationship with Britain, even here there has been a profound respect for HM. It was her values and principles I think that united more than tore down. A value system that all good meaning and intentioned people could get behind, this is why even in the Commonwealth where we couldn't be more diverse, there is still that profound respect for her.
Every time I watch the funeral I have tears in my eyes it’s hard this gracious queen was such a lovely lady and she cared about everyone i am a Sikh woman and she didnt care what background your from she treated everyone the same god rest our soul you majesty😢
I'm still finding it hard. The only monarch I have known in my 26 years. I had the pleasure of writing to her and receiving a letter back from her lady in waiting Susan Hussey (sadly the one made to resign). It was around the time Prince George was born and Prince Phillip was in hospital. Thank you Prince Phillip and Queen Elizabeth II. God save the King!
Same melody as “My Country Tis of Thee” here in the United States. Our forebears here in the States must have lifted it (this melody) from “God Save the King/Queen” 😊 🎶
Only the Church of Rome rivals such in pure inspirational majesty, powerful hymnody, honor and glory to God and country. Truly a woman and Queen for the ages.
Bless them. One and all. It shows a love a dedication to his mother that is very endearing. Their huge loss of both their parents is etched on them all. May His richest blessings rain down upon them and protect them during the time they are suffering through now, on top of all this. xxx
The lyrics, for those who wanted them: God save our gracious king; Long live our noble king; God save the king! Send him victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us; God save the king! Thy choicest gifts in store On him be pleased to pour; Long may he reign! May he defend our laws And ever give us cause To sing with heart and voice, God save the king!
@@drt1605 I don't see why we in America don't also do that with third verse "The Star-Spangled Banner," especially given the accusations of racism against it in recent years. That verse was already deleted from sheet music during WWI because of its anti-British tone, so it's not like it makes much difference at this point. Just declare the verse officially defunct and keep the rest of the verses in it.
I feel if King Charles had his way, they would still be singing “God Save the Queen” for a very long time. Eventually, they will get used to the pain & the void that’s there. Maybe one day, he will be able to smile in appreciation when he hears it, but for now he’s probably thinking they should be singing it for his mother & he probably misses her. Even though he’s had a very long time to prepare to be king, he may even feel that he needs more guidance from her. I have loved ones who’ve passed that I think at least once a week that I wish I had known to ask their advice about this or that, but I can’t now.
RIP YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS QUEEN ELIZABETH THE SECOND .THE ONLY QUEEN THAT I PERSONALLY HAVE FOLLOWED,ADMIRED AND WILL MISS .I DO HOWEVER SAY "GOD SAVE OUR GRACIOUS KING" .GOD SAVE OUR KING ! LONG MAY HE REIGN OVER US .
At 02:33, you can see the royal heads of Europe together in one section of the church, including Queen Sophia of Spain (now the queen mother) who is in middle of second row next to her husband King Juan Carlos who was forced to abdicate in favor of his son (standing on aisle). Queen Sophia, as a former princess of Greece, was a first cousin to Prince Phillip, a second cousin to King Charles III and a double third cousin of QEII.
I was taught the first verse of this at age 5 by me very English Grandfather. I love the trumpet fanfare at the beginning, and this always bring tears to my eyes.
Emotional, of course, but steady. I hope I have a fraction of that control at my mother’s funeral. Godspeed, Queen Elizabeth. As one son to another, King Charles, my deepest sympathies.
Princess Anne was really worried about him during the Windsor service, Charles looked as though he needed a good old cry. I hope he gets to have time to rest before work goes on.
His expression spoke volumes at that moment, a moment that can likely be summarized with these words, _”It will never be the same without mother here, without having her affectionate warmth and wisdom gleaned throughout history to guard and guide my family, my country, and myself. I will not let her departure be in vain. I swear to carry her mantle for the rest of my days, however weighty it may be.”_
So stunning and moving. God Bless King Charles, no doubt he was moved. After 70 yrs he’s finally King but he has to balance his joy with the most unimaginable grief of all. No doubt Prince William had an equally heavy heart.
The solo trumpet at the beginning sounded very much like a Prussian cavalry march. But that actually goes quite well with the Count of Battenberg, which is Bonnie Prince Charly...
The 'Trumpet solo' at the start of the clip is actually the 'Reveille' sounded by the trumpets of the Household Cavalry. It followed the sounding of 'Last Post', by the Royal Marines. 'God save the King' (2 verses) then followed.
When you think about it.. he was never given a chance to mourn for his mother in private… he was always in the public eye and had to maintain himself… this had to be so brutal for him. :(
King Charles has waited a lifetime to become King and it came at a great loss, losing the Queen is one thing but losing your Mother is another. This I know all to well, my Mom passed away when I was 10 ( she was 36 and passed away on her birthday to boot ain't that a kick in the head ) 😪
2:39 monarchs or ex-monarchs in the view, from front row on the left: Beatrice of the Netherlands, Wilhelm-Alexander of the Netherlands (and his queen consort), Carl XVI Gustav of Sweden (and his queen consort), Margarethe II of Denmark (and her heir apparent), Harald V of Norway (and his queen consort), Juan Carlos I of Spain (and his queen consort), Felipe VI of Spain (and his queen consort), Albert II of Monaco (and his princess consort), Henri of Luxembourg (and his grand duchess consort), Philippe of Belgium (and his queen consort). Sorry to see that King Harald V looks a bit tired (really don't blame him, he's probably the oldest among the above), while the cameraman seems deliberate to use the candle to obscure King Juan Carlos I.
I'm not a big fan of the Royals - least of all King Charles - but I saw the look on his face, abd I know what he was feeling at that moment. I lost my own beloved mother suddenly just three days before Christmas of 1996, and now, almost 27 years later, it still hurts, and always will. For this, my heart goes out to him, because I know that feeling all too well.

You have no idea what sort of hell ridden world the British marched through in those days. But our records are not that old and not that forgotten. We remember the British Governor here vomitting reading it. The reports of my own sister taken to Masanjia and tortured until she just wanted to fade away and be left to pass on.
Do yourself a favour. Don't just read what they provide for you. Go well out of your way. To the black slave traders who sold their own people to whites. To the white people who were slaves. To the terrorists who beheaded British soldiers just because they wanted to bring education and fresh water.
The British did many bad things. They also did many good things. And you never hear about the latter. Ask yourself why that is. And who really wrote the history book.
One of the best renditions of the national anthem. Truly makes you feel proud to be British.
I'm Canadian and I felt the same way. The singing of the anthem was excellent.
End monarchy
Bri ish 🤮
I was singing My country tis of thee, sweet land of liberty.
I grow up in england and im not british im so proud of those old days in u.k great people great country great queen
He seemed the most emotional a few minutes later when they removed the crown, scepter and orb from her casket to the altar. We know he was marching around endlessly for days and had been in at least three different cities, but I think that's when it kicked in that his mom was gone and his life would be forever changed.
This was in Westminster Abbey. The Crown et al were removed in St Georges Chapel, Windsor.
I was one of the many outside when they sang god save the king, it was broadcast live on the speakers and as soon as the song finished the heat from the sun bursted with intensity for a moment
He held it together so well , his duty kicked in the minute the Queen was pronounced dead . This has been a very long and emotional process for him , probably more so than his siblings ,
Seemed to me as though Prince Edward was also more than a little overcome--and who can blame either of them.
@@cherylannemason Ohh of course , and Princess Anne looked devastated 😢 But Charles had to hit the ground running !
I know it was protocol for them to attend to various public duties upon her death, but if it were up to me, they would have had a few weeks of bereavement leave like anyone else when a family member passes. They might have to participate in the funeral processions & the vigils, but that would be it. I wish the other stuff could have waited until after her funeral. I’m wondering if any of them had a chance to rest after all of this? Maybe I’m just weird, but they are human, too. They need to be able to go have a good cry when they need it.
I saw him crying. They are only human.
My belovéd Mother passed away suddenly on 5 April 2023. She loved to tell me stories of being born during the Second World War, and her happy, happy memories of the street parties and fun when Her Late Majesty, the Princess Elizabeth was crowned Queen. She was SO looking forward to seeing another Coronation, this time of HM King Charles III. Sadly she never got to see it....God rest Her Late Majesty, God rest my Mum ❤😞😞😞
Condolences for your mother. It's sad to loose your parents no matter how old are they , but it's unavoidable . God rest the Queen and your mother too. Athens Greece.
@@lefterisgeorgiou4424 Thank you so much for your kind, and thoughtful words. Both ladies were truly an inspiration to me and our Country. Your condolences mean so very much at a time of loss...😔🙏
What a sweet thing for the queen to add to the end of her service for her son
Sorry...What???!
@@71JediKnight Yeah not a clue haha
@@71JediKnight The Queen was heavily involved in the planning of her funeral, including the music to be played. She chose for the national anthem to be played, knowing full well it would be God save the King.
Sweetie, The National Anthem is played at a plethora of events etc.
The Queen did not ‘choose’ for this to be played, it is just following protocol at State events.
Please educate yourself on Royal matters, it will save you looking slightly silly!
@@71JediKnight being they reported on a number of reports that the queen planned EVER detail I will go with that however the media does add and take things away. Im not a brit but I do think her funeral was lovely but Im sure you will say she had nothing to do with that either and it was just how the government over there does things
You can't even imagine the emotions he gone through in that moment. He lost his mother and stands infront of her coffin but now he is the king, something he waited for his whole life and at the same time the whole church sings god save the king.
I'm sure he's very happy with mixed emotions, LOL!
The look on his face.....I was so overwhelmed that I wanted to sing God Save The King myself, and I'm an American.
why?
American here too...was indeed overwhelmed and truly appreciative of such a great King!
you must be white
@@glen7318 because that's what American do it's call respect

Gotta hand it to the Brits, they can do a funeral, no holds barred. I thought the royal weddings were tradition- riddled formality, but seeing this funeral makes me realize how much they have been holding out. Wow. Impressive. (Nice candle placement in that last shot, guys!)
Yeah, that candle placement must have been an ego buster
Like us they have had plenty of experience throwing funerals for many many!
Exactly, the candle shot was gold and added to the aesthetics.
They do it all for power and riches! Sick family!
On a positive note there's still the coronation up next.
I am 60 in July and I have only ever heard God Save the Queen in 7 different decades. The Queen had been on the throne 11 years at my birth. This is the astonishing longevity of her reign.
I’m 21 and only knew Queen Elizabeth II all my life until September last year. I still can’t get over how Woody.EXE and King Charles started their reigns on the same day. My mother became Princess of Wales on September 6th, just 25 years after Diana’s funeral
@@nicolelawless9942 The Queen died on the 8th September. Catherine wasn’t made Princess of Wales until the following week.
Yeah it feels so weird to hear “god save the king” instead of “queen” after all this time
I'm not British, but hearing God save the Queen was so normal for me all my life. I can't even imagine what a hard transition this must be for the British people. I felt so sorry for the royal family, seeing them like this, and I miss the Queen very much.
So great of you to say that.Yes we the public (generally) miss her greatly. We ,again generally welcome KING Charles to be our King & Kings Consort Camilla .
@@deesmith8027Miss her greatly? Hardly. She had a long good life, and apart from the people that knew her persoanlly I cant see why anyone would miss her GREATLY
Because in England we saw,however more ,she was part of our lives .I miss her.she has been around me since I was a baby.God Save our wonderful Queen .May she rest in Peace .Di
Finally we can hear this song in modern audio
I just loved the brass....so regal, so authoritative and perfect.....bless Charles and his family
That was his moment of realization
I remember watching Winston Churchill's funeral on TV with my Dad. I asked my Dad, if he was the King and my Dad replied, with tears in his eyes, "No, he is a Great Man".
Winston Churchill was a great man in a certain ways but a war criminal nonetheless.
@@blastbeatsbeersandbuds1488 You seem like you're a fun person to be around 🙄

Never knew that power of this Anthem! Goosebumps!
well, most of it consists of trumpets and a fanfare, and a hymn before the anthem, as do many national anthems.
@@strasbourgeois1 0000⁰
It's a song about one person. I've always thought that it's the least impactful anthem I've ever heard.
Tupac is better 🤘🤘💪
It suits solemn occasions, I think. A typical football/soccer crowd racing ahead of the music and yelling "na na na na!" over the bridge into the chorus takes the shine off a bit. Sung with respect like this, it's pretty powerful.
The most incredible rendition I have ever heard.
Seeing him clearly using all his might to fight back his tears is so hard to watch. Losing my own mother is something I hope I won’t have to experience for a very long time.
The Queen made history at 25 and in her passing at 96 she is still making history. The royal family history for centuries is very well documented in detail to this day. I do say Queen Elizabeth was the Queens'- Queen. Never in this lifetime will there ever be another Queen like her Majesty. She was truly one-of-a-kind. A very well-deserved toast to you 🍷. Vaya Con Dios - Milady.
70 years of singing God Save The Queen and seeing his mum's coffin in front of him must have been hard for him.
I remember being 13 singing God save the Queen whilst carrying my great grandmother’s coffin. Literally the whole of Wales tuned in for her funeral to see their future Queen with all my strength i had. The same happened for my late friend’s funeral a year later
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
That’s deep..no matter the medals or money or what ever..but to honor thy mother or father…man o man..I feel the pain..but it’s all joy..
God bless the Queen.
Long live the King.
This sounds are as celestial as the graceful soul they are leading to the next world,i am speachless after seen such a proper magnificent ceremony she will always be a QUEEN.
The clip commences with the sounding of "the Reveille' by the Trumpeters of the Household Cavalry. 'Last Post' had already been sounded by the buglers of The Royal Marines. This was then followed by 'The Fanfare' prior to 'God Save the King' (2 verses) which was then then played/sung.
Well they weren't going to be singing verse three that's for sure
What a fortnight he has had! Peace to the Royal Family at this difficult time❤️
You bow donwn you sheep

As an American, born in a Swiss German and English town founded in 1710 in America, Its still very moving to see this. The Queen truely represented what service meant in our Western Civilization and societies. Very moving display.
Why didn't you say the name of the town?
@@shawnfalcon3048 The town doesn't exist according to his description!! 🤔
@@b-dav1729, it's New Bern, North Carolina, according to my Gg search.
The pain in his face 😭😭😭😭 I admire how any of those close to Elizabeth did not just break down
It must have been so difficult. But they were honouring their mother by not breaking down.
Finally "God Save the King" come back after 7 decades. Long live His Majesty King Charles III !! This version (took from The Funeral Ceremony of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II) make me goosebumps because really deep and powerful arrangements.
Too bad that unless something disastrous happens, or the next two king's lives are short, none of us living as adults now are likely to hear "God Save the Queen" ever again.
@@anyaw340 If George abdicates or refuses the crown (you never know, and it need not be dishonourably done), his sister may become queen. Since male primogeniture no longer decides who the net heir is she will not be passed over for Louis. Could be a Queen Charlotte in our future without anything bad necessarily having to happen to George.
@@venus_envy : Would be highly unlikely. A queen is not likely soon unless George's first child is a girl or a double tragedy happens.
You can tell by looking at Charles how much it hurts. He was incredibly strong by holding back his emotions.
You held yourself with dignity and poise for our beloved late Queen's funeral. God save the King! May Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip now rest together once more forevermore.🇦🇺🇬🇧
I held it together that day because as Queen, I’m not really allowed to show emotion but Woody.EXE allowed it because he’s the greatest king Wales has ever had and no one can replace us 2
I absolutely love organ and brass together!
I moved to the UK in 2019 ... and man I wish we could all just stand together under one banner and consider ourselves British rather than being split up in all those different groups and sub-cultures...
I miss the sense of belonging. This anthem is so powerful This nation could be so powerful... god I wish this monarchy and this country gain back their strength.
God save the King.
Mother is Mother.There is no stronger Love between Mother and Son.
I just adore this, our Queen would never show emotion but Charles is a very different person and showing emotion as a royal is a good thing 😊
The glorius joy of praising the new king incomparable! God Save The KING! GOD BLESS OUR LATE QUEEN!
gosh, I am having goosebumps. God save our gracious king, Long Live our Noble King, God save Our King, Send him victorious happy, and glorious Long live our noble King God save our King.🙏🙏🙏

It's Long to reign over us
A beautiful and majestic playing of the National Anthem. A very historic moment in time. The new king standing before the coffin of his mother and listening to the anthem being sung with the lyrics now altered for him, the new king. God Save the King.
He probably wished he could sing, "God Save the Queen" for his mother one last time.
The Best Hymn Of God Save Our Queen saved for the last, truly emotional could see the sorrow and pain In King Charles||| eyes I can feel how it's to lose a mother , Lots of Love to the Royal Family From India the colony they once ruled
I love my country and its people 🇬🇧❤️
Rest in peace Queen Elizabeth
God save the King
Alex think about yourself.
@@md.atiqurrahman2987 much love to my British Indian brothers aswell ✌️
👍🏻 🏴
They know how to put on a show. The best in the world.
I lost My Mother back in 2011. I know how much of a loss that the British Royal Family and the People the United Kingdom of Great Britain are feeling. The last Monarch of World War II has past away. A part of "The Greatest Generation."
Even in South Africa where we've had an at times complicated relationship with Britain, even here there has been a profound respect for HM. It was her values and principles I think that united more than tore down. A value system that all good meaning and intentioned people could get behind, this is why even in the Commonwealth where we couldn't be more diverse, there is still that profound respect for her.
Blessed are they who mourn for they shall be comforted. JC
I'm filled with deep emotion in hearing this anthem: God save the King!! Rest in Peace Your Majesty
Every time I watch the funeral I have tears in my eyes it’s hard this gracious queen was such a lovely lady and she cared about everyone i am a Sikh woman and she didnt care what background your from she treated everyone the same god rest our soul you majesty😢
I'm still finding it hard. The only monarch I have known in my 26 years. I had the pleasure of writing to her and receiving a letter back from her lady in waiting Susan Hussey (sadly the one made to resign). It was around the time Prince George was born and Prince Phillip was in hospital. Thank you Prince Phillip and Queen Elizabeth II. God save the King!
Same melody as “My Country Tis of Thee” here in the United States. Our forebears here in the States must have lifted it (this melody) from “God Save the King/Queen” 😊 🎶
So sad to see our Nowegian King Harald V even struggling to stand up while singing. Sadly I think he'll be next after Queen Elizabeth II
Well his daughter gets married this year, hopefully he will be able to attend.
Only the Church of Rome rivals such in pure inspirational majesty, powerful hymnody, honor and glory to God and country. Truly a woman and Queen for the ages.
He looks like he would rather have his mother alive than be King 🤴 👑
Of course he would! Nobody with a good familial relationship with their parents want them to pass away (even though it’s inevitable)… even Kings…
I bet William will feel the same way, as well as Harry.
Bless them. One and all. It shows a love a dedication to his mother that is very endearing. Their huge loss of both their parents is etched on them all. May His richest blessings rain down upon them and protect them during the time they are suffering through now, on top of all this. xxx
God save the King!!! Rest in Peace HM Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022)
I miss the Queen, 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 I think King Charles will step up, but his mum was the best 😢😢💜💜🇦🇺🇦🇺
The acoustics must of been breath taking in that cathedral making it more emotional. 😢
Its nor a cathedral
The lyrics, for those who wanted them:
God save our gracious king;
Long live our noble king;
God save the king!
Send him victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us;
God save the king!
Thy choicest gifts in store
On him be pleased to pour;
Long may he reign!
May he defend our laws
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the king!
@@drt1605 I don't see why we in America don't also do that with third verse "The Star-Spangled Banner," especially given the accusations of racism against it in recent years. That verse was already deleted from sheet music during WWI because of its anti-British tone, so it's not like it makes much difference at this point. Just declare the verse officially defunct and keep the rest of the verses in it.
Absolute Amazing .Best Ever
I'm over here in the United States watching this, and it's impressive online. I can only imagine what it's like being there in person.
Let's be honest, he wasn't the only one. After a lifetime of 'God save the Queen', it still gets me when I hear 'King'.
That face of Charles says it all. Heartbreaking 💔 it must be for him
I feel if King Charles had his way, they would still be singing “God Save the Queen” for a very long time. Eventually, they will get used to the pain & the void that’s there. Maybe one day, he will be able to smile in appreciation when he hears it, but for now he’s probably thinking they should be singing it for his mother & he probably misses her. Even though he’s had a very long time to prepare to be king, he may even feel that he needs more guidance from her. I have loved ones who’ve passed that I think at least once a week that I wish I had known to ask their advice about this or that, but I can’t now.
Rest in peace queen Elizabeth
You were the best
Sadness in already troubled times, with her Majesty's sparkling example of humanity still a beacon of light.
Yes shes with The Legendary King George Thw sixth Now her father And its amazing to hear God Save the King after like 70 years or something
RIP YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS QUEEN ELIZABETH THE SECOND .THE ONLY QUEEN THAT I PERSONALLY HAVE FOLLOWED,ADMIRED AND WILL MISS .I DO HOWEVER SAY "GOD SAVE OUR GRACIOUS KING" .GOD SAVE OUR KING ! LONG MAY HE REIGN OVER US .
It's her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth. HRH (His / Her royal higness) is for Princes and Princesses. Queens and Kings even after death are Majesties.
RIP QUEEN ELIZABETH 2ND.
At 02:33, you can see the royal heads of Europe together in one section of the church, including Queen Sophia of Spain (now the queen mother) who is in middle of second row next to her husband King Juan Carlos who was forced to abdicate in favor of his son (standing on aisle). Queen Sophia, as a former princess of Greece, was a first cousin to Prince Phillip, a second cousin to King Charles III and a double third cousin of QEII.
I was taught the first verse of this at age 5 by me very English Grandfather. I love the trumpet fanfare at the beginning, and this always bring tears to my eyes.
May the Lord have mercy on the soul of HM Queen Elizabeth. And may He give strength and encouragement to her son, King Charles.
Emotional, of course, but steady. I hope I have a fraction of that control at my mother’s funeral. Godspeed, Queen Elizabeth. As one son to another, King Charles, my deepest sympathies.
He looks so tired
Your right, dracula has been out too much in the daylight lately.
Princess Anne was really worried about him during the Windsor service, Charles looked as though he needed a good old cry. I hope he gets to have time to rest before work goes on.
@@ChrisLee66 You really are a special kind of asshole, aren't you 😒?
His expression spoke volumes at that moment, a moment that can likely be summarized with these words, _”It will never be the same without mother here, without having her affectionate warmth and wisdom gleaned throughout history to guard and guide my family, my country, and myself. I will not let her departure be in vain. I swear to carry her mantle for the rest of my days, however weighty it may be.”_
Wow. Indeed - that was a very emotional reaction by King Charles. Haven't seen many folks reacting more emotional at the wake of their mother.
A day that saddened us all. May the Queen rest in peace and God bless her and her family
This was one of the sadest moments of the whole ceremony. RIP Queen Elizabeth!
So stunning and moving. God Bless King Charles, no doubt he was moved. After 70 yrs he’s finally King but he has to balance his joy with the most unimaginable grief of all. No doubt Prince William had an equally heavy heart.

The solo trumpet at the beginning sounded very much like a Prussian cavalry march. But that actually goes quite well with the Count of Battenberg, which is Bonnie Prince Charly...
The 'Trumpet solo' at the start of the clip is actually the 'Reveille' sounded by the trumpets of the Household Cavalry. It followed the sounding of 'Last Post', by the Royal Marines. 'God save the King' (2 verses) then followed.
@@Seagullias12 That was not the point, or the question...
When you think about it.. he was never given a chance to mourn for his mother in private… he was always in the public eye and had to maintain himself… this had to be so brutal for him. :(
Overwhelming for King Charles,just lost his Mother ,no time to mourn,just has to get on with it .
King Charles has waited a lifetime to become King and it came at a great loss, losing the Queen is one thing but losing your Mother is another. This I know all to well, my Mom passed away when I was 10 ( she was 36 and passed away on her birthday to boot ain't that a kick in the head ) 😪
It's relatively well documented that Charles really did not want to be King.
2:39 monarchs or ex-monarchs in the view, from front row on the left: Beatrice of the Netherlands, Wilhelm-Alexander of the Netherlands (and his queen consort), Carl XVI Gustav of Sweden (and his queen consort), Margarethe II of Denmark (and her heir apparent), Harald V of Norway (and his queen consort), Juan Carlos I of Spain (and his queen consort), Felipe VI of Spain (and his queen consort), Albert II of Monaco (and his princess consort), Henri of Luxembourg (and his grand duchess consort), Philippe of Belgium (and his queen consort).
Sorry to see that King Harald V looks a bit tired (really don't blame him, he's probably the oldest among the above), while the cameraman seems deliberate to use the candle to obscure King Juan Carlos I.
Beautiful... Just..... Beautiful..ty
I'm not a big fan of the Royals - least of all King Charles - but I saw the look on his face, abd I know what he was feeling at that moment. I lost my own beloved mother suddenly just three days before Christmas of 1996, and now, almost 27 years later, it still hurts, and always will. For this, my heart goes out to him, because I know that feeling all too well.
Even the King needs to cry from time to time
Long live the King!
Imagine the national anthem changing because your mother died. And then hearing it on every other occasion.
Very emotional for me, many tears. Watched the Coronation of our faultless Queen and now her funeral. We will miss her ❤
In some way I was hoping they would've sing *God save the Queen* one last time
