He must feel absolutely shattered mentally, physically and emotionally after the last 11 days. I hope he's given some privacy in the next few weeks.

What a monumentally historic and emotional day. The many thousands involved should all be so proud of themselves, most of all the Royal Family who must be exhausted. Goodbye and God Save The King!

The walk up the drive at Windsor was powerful, poignant time with drums, but the bagpipes as the coffin descended, got me, tears n’all…
The Royal family held steadfast through an emotional day, how they held it together god only knows.
Thank you Elizabeth, the last connection with my grandparents generation, whom fought for you and your father against evil for the greater good of this country and the world.
Long Live The King.

Magnificently organised event, which went incredibly well and was a fitting end for our Queen, who will be remembered historically as one of our greatest monarchs of all time.
She evolved throughout her reign, and the esteem in which she is held worldwide, should tell us everything we need to know.
Amazing job by all involved.
Incredibly poignant and quite sad.
RIP Elizabeth and thank you…..

Up at 3.30 and flying over Kefalionia and surrounding islands at 11am with dimmed plane lights. Humans and nature.

I lost it when I saw Emma, her pony, and then her corgis. The personal touch in the middle of State Ceremonial.

If you’re not proud to be British after that…..
That music and Kirsty Young almost in tears at the end set me off.
What a day. Never to be forgotten.
I just hope Harry makes peace with his brother and father before he returns to USA.
I lost it at the first service - the lone piper fading away

I bet demand for lone pipers goes the the roof, reasonable rates imho.
I'm in.

They’re cute and gentle dogs. Wonder if there’ll be a Corgi’s fad.

They should get their own special gong.

Britain does these things so well. And today was certainly no exception.
A fine and fitting send-off for Her Majesty and the end of an era.
May all learn from her example of duty, service and sacrifice.

Found the removal of the orb, sceptre and crown at the very end really quite emotional, a kind of final moment of being relieved of duty for her majesty. BBC were wonderful as ever, they just do this sort of thing so well, someone give Huw, Kirsty and Dimbers a gong.

If anything close to that number, that really is a mind blowing number.
Must of up there as one of the most watched events in the history of television.
Thought the Beeb did a fantastic job today, the reminder why we need first rate public service broadcasting.
