    To me, symbolism is VERY powerful, and growing up with a great-grandmother of my own. Yes, was very powerful to me... Rest in Peace Queen Elizabeth II.

      More than one tear, lucky to have a crappy webcam so the constant flow wasn't seen. Though when rendering the video I did see my lip shaking a lot. And yeah... my fellow countrymen leave a lot to be desired, and luckily I understand a heck of a lot more of non-American customs than the average American. Failure to learn from others just withers away your own understanding.

Seeing Charles III getting emotional as they sang God Save the King as yet another reminder that yes he's King but that means his mother is truly gone and now he bears the weight of what being the new Monarch means.

      @ RipGhyll I would like to add my very resounding THANK YOU's to this honourable and caring American for remaining quiet through the service I was STUNNED by his respect for Her Late Majesty and his kindness towards the British people, some very poor examples of which are evident by their insulting comments on this channel. I am 80 and have been a monarchist all my life, I have served the Late queen in the military and have always, repeat always, loved her deeply for who she was and everything that she represented.
      GOD SAVE THE KING
      God Bless The Late Queen Elizabeth II and the British Royal Family.
      To the vulgar naysayer commoners I say GO AND LIVE IN RUSSIA. LIVING IN A REPUBLIC RUN BY A SELF-AGGRANDISING MAD MAN MIGHT JUST WAKE YOUR SORRY HEARTS UP TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT YOU HAD & WILL NEVER HAVE AGAIN. I FEEL SORRY THAT YOU NEVER WENT TO SCHOOL AND THAT YOU LOST YOUR SWEETIES ON THE WAY TO THE HEROIN DEN THIS MORNING. UNLIKE OUR GRACIOUS LATE MONARCH I CAN BE VULGAR TOO, JUST LIKE YOU TWATS. AND IGNORANT, AND HATEFUL. IF YOU'D CROSSED MY SIGHTS WHILE I SERVED HER MAJESTY YOU'D BE PUSHING UP DAISIES BY NOW. NO HONOUR !!
