I didn’t say you said it, I said you supported the tweet which did and implied Charles was not an honourable man.  I grasped it very well thank you.

Understanding, ommenting and explaining doesn't mean supporting. A common mistake, I find.

Yeah right.  BTW I don't need you to explain tweets to me - the meaning and intent was quite obvious thanks.

Phew.  What a marathon it has been for us all, let alone for The King, poor soul.

On entry to Windsor chapel he looked as if he had had enough.

His Mother has just died.  And not a second for him to grieve.

I'm not a royalist by any stretch but the pomp cannot be matched imo, but we have witnessed it, imo never to be repeated, where now from here.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

So ended one of the most remarkable day/period's in history .

The slow marching was getting a bit tedious towards the end though, to be fair.
I mean, God bless the Queen, & all that, but there's only so much monotonous pomp & pageantry I can take before I start to sympathise with republicans. Yep, if there's one thing Charles needs to bring into the 21st century then it's state funerals. Thirty minute service at the Crem then a knees up down the local in future me thinks.

Utterly impeccable send off but quite draining (and I spent the entire thing on the sofa, for those taking part I can’t even imagine the exhaustion and emotion they must be feeling, probably quite a lot of relief right now).

The royal family are officially in mourning for another seven days.  I hope the king will manage to take advantage of some respite during that very brief period.

Me too!
I was on the nerves as the cavalry horses got a bit restive at the pace during the march up the long drive at Windsor.

It's not over for the family yet though; they still have the very private ceremony of the queen's interment which I am sure they will attend.
I don't see the devoted Princess Royal missing out on that.
