Just wondered who will be watching the funeral service tomorrow for Ptince Phillip 

I will watch it and I totally respect they are keeping to covid restrictions like everyone else who has had to say their final goodbyes to loved ones this last year

    I also will be watching.  And I agree observing Covid rules is a wonderful gesture and mark of respect to the whole nation.  My thoughts this evening are with the Queen, bless her. But I’m sure tomorrow we will see the strong, dignified woman that we all know and love.

    Was a good send off. I felt so sorry for the Queen just sat there on her own.

    I agree @MarkN88 a good send off 

    The Queen looked very fragile I think and was struggling to walk only to be expected after what she has been through recently

    Yeah she looked pale and frail. I hope she gets support from her family, friends and staff and can eventually move on with doing the job she does so well.

    Was a nice funeral, didn't think they would show inside for the service. Loved all the pomp, the gun fires, the bag pipes etc.

    I feel it was a very fitting send off, as Prince Philip himself had planned. There was an understated pomp & ceremony about it. The Queen certainly looked fragile, &, like Jane, it crossed my mind that she may not be far behind him, as they were so close. I also hope I'm wrong.

    A good funeral indeed and very moving I thought.

    It was a beautiful service, dignified and sincere. The music was wonderful. The queen looked quite fragile but maintained her poise throughout. An amazing feat for such an elderly lady.

         I watched the funeral,  I observed the minutes silence not because of who Prince Phillip was but for what he and thousands of others ( including my mother and father) did for "us" during world war 2, we said goodbye to an old man who fought for our freedom...not many of them left but each and every one of them deserve our respect.
