WHICH OF THEM? >> MAJOR NETWORKS THERE. YOU KNOW THIS THIS OBVIOUS PAGEANTRY. AN EVENT WE’VE SEEN EASILY MORE THAN ANOTHER DOZEN CAMERAS USED JUST IN THIS PROCESSION. TODAY AND AGAIN THE IDEA THAT THIS REQUIRED A TECHNICAL REHEARSAL BECAUSE IT IS MANY THINGS AND AMONG THE THINGS IT IS IS A TELEVISED EVENT.
AND THE PLACEMENT OF A CAMERA RIGHT HERE IS OBVIOUSLY VERY DELIBERATE. AND THEN REALLY SYMBOLIC AS. PROCESSION CONTINUES. WE TEND TO APPROACH IT FROM A FACT-BASED. THIS IS WHAT’S HAPPENING. WE MIGHT BRING IN SOME COMMENTATORS WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH HER LEGACY. BUT IN BRITAIN, IT’S 24 7 IF THEY CALL IT ROLLING COVERAGE, AND WHAT IS SO INTERESTING IS PEOPLE OVER THE YEARS THAT YOU’VE SEEN OCCASIONALLY ON TELEVISION HERE.
THESE CORTICAL ROYAL COMMENTATORS. I’M ON SOME E-MAIL CHAINS AND THEY’RE THEY’RE LITERALLY BOOKS ON AND YOU NORMALLY WOULD IT WOULD BE. WHAT I WOULD BEST DESCRIBE AS POSSIBLY REPORTS OF WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH MEGHAN MARKLE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT IS ALL THAT HAS BEEN PUSHED TO THE SIDE.
AND THERE’S JUST SO MANY REMINISCENCES AND MOST OF VERY FONDLY A AND THE KNOWLEDGE THAT SOME OF THOSE EXPERT HALF IS JUST. >> IT’S REALLY INCREDIBLE. IT’S A CAREER-HIGH IS OCCURRING AND A CAREER HE IS THE TYPE OF THING IN FACT I WAS ON THE PROGRAM. THE OTHER DAY.
AND THERE WERE SOME ROYAL PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO ARE SHOWING EXTRAORDINARY PICTURES FROM THE IT BUT BUT. PEOPLE’S SINGULAR ENCOUNTERS WITH THE QUEEN ARE THINGS THAT THEY NEVER FORGET ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A BOOK ON IT THE AND IT LITERALLY IS THE SIZE OF A DICTIONARY BECAUSE WOW THAT’S HOW FULL HER LIFE WAS AND HOW MUCH HISTORY THERE IS AND HOW MUCH THERE IS TO SAY.
AND SO AGAIN THESE THESE EXPERTS I CAN I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW FASCINATING IT IS TOO. I’VE BEEN HEARING FROM THEM ESPECIALLY IN THE UK WHO HAVE DEDICATED THEIR LIVES THAT KNOWLEDGE. >> AND THEN ALSO HEARING ABOUT HOW KING CHARLES, THE 3RD IS EXPECTED TO RULE IF YOU WILL IN HIS ROLE IN THE MONARCHY AND YOU KNOW IT WILL HE BE YOU KNOW MUCH LIKE HIS MOTHER WHO WAS VERY RESERVED AND TRIED TO STAY OUT OF MOST POLITICAL MATTERS AND AND FELT IT WAS HER JOB TO BE A QUIET AND STEADY HAND IT SEEMED VERSUS SOMEONE WHO MIGHT BE MORE POLITICALLY ACTIVE WAS IT >> I HEARD SANDRA KIRK WHAT IT’S LIKE NEVER EXPLAIN NEVER COMPLAIN RIGHT WAS ACTING RIGHT IS IT TAUGHT SORT OF STIFF UPPER LIP.
AND THEN THIS BEHIND THE SCENES WHICH IS VERY WELL. REALLY PSYCHO TAKE A WHAT WAS THE PHRASE AGAIN I NEVER COMPLAIN NEVER EXPLAIN. YEAH IF YOU’RE EXPLAINING THEN WELL, THEN YOU STEP GET YOURSELF INTO MORE TROUBLE KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON EXACTLY. >> WHICH IS OF COURSE VERY IT’S THE VERY BRITISH WAY OF BEING ISN’T IT EXACT?
YES, YES. AND THEN I THINK OF YOU YOU DO SIMPLE MATHEMATICS. PRINCE CHARLES YOU SEEN AT PARTIES KING CHARLES. PERHAPS COULD EXPECT A 2025-YEAR REIGN, BUT IT WOULD NEVER. >> EVER A CAN’T COMPARE RIGHT. >> SO BASED ON OUR TIMING WHICH HAS BEEN ON THEIR TIMING WHICH IS IMPECCABLE THEY SAID THEY’RE GOING TO BEGIN.
AT 6.22 AND THEY’RE THEY’RE KIND I WOULD IMAGINE THEY’RE GETTING CLOSE AS WE NEAR THE TOP OF THE HOUR WHICH IS WHEN THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE AT WESTMINSTER HALL AS WE BRING BACK IN LAUREN LYSTER RIGHT NOW I IMAGINE THEY’RE GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THAT THAT DESTINATION FOR TODAY’S PROCESSION AND LAUREN LYSTER CAN YOU HEARS SOME A BIT MORE NOW MAYBE.
KRISTEN I I THINK I CAN HEAR SOME ITS HARD TO TELL WE’VE HEARD THE GUN SALUTES WE’VE HEARD BIG BEN WE BELIEVE AT ANY MOMENT WE WILL BEGIN TO HEAR THEM SOONER BECAUSE AT THE TOP OF THE HOUR IS WHEN THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO ARRIVE HERE WESTMINSTER HALL AND THEY HAVE BEEN RIGHT ON TIME I MEAN IN LOCKSTEP OUR TIME IS WHEN THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BEGIN AND THAT IS WHEN IT DID SO ANY MOMENT THEY SHOULD BE GETTING VERY CLOSE TO WHERE WE ARE IS JUST ABOUT A MILE FROM BUCKINGHAM PALACE WHERE WE ARE WESTMINSTER HALL WHERE THE QUEEN’S COFFIN GOING TO BE BROUGHT IN AND PUT ON A AS IT AS IT’S CALLED AND THAT’S WHERE SHE’LL LIE IN STATE MAN IS SEEN ON THE STREETS OF LONDON IS JUST YOU KNOW SUCH A SIGHT.
THERE’S BIG BEN AGAIN. YOU SEE THE CROWDS YOU SEE THE ROYAL FAMILY IN LOCKSTEP BEHIND THE COFFIN. YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THE CROWDS OF JUST PEOPLE SOLEMNLY WATCHING MEANING THIS IS THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY THEY’VE HAD TO SEE. THE BRITISH MONARCH THAT SERVED THIS COUNTRY FOR SO LONG 70 YEARS SEE THAT COFFIN IN-PERSON EXPOSE LAST NIGHT IT WAS DRIVEN THROUGH THE STREETS OF OF LONDON FROM THE AIRPORT AND YOU CAN SEE THE COFFIN THROUGH THE HEARST BUT THIS IS NOW ON A GUN CARRIAGE WHICH IS WHAT IS CALLED IT OPEN SO THE COFFIN IS THERE ON DISPLAY WITH THAT ROYAL FLAG WITH THE CROWN ON TOP AND THEN WITH ALL OF THIS REGALIA SURROUNDING IT THAT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE’VE SEEN AS MANY MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL FAMILY WITH THE COFFIN, QUEEN’S CHILDREN THAT KEPT VIGIL AROUND THE COFFIN IN SCOTLAND AT SAINT JOHN’S CATHEDRAL, BUT NOW YOU HAVE THE CHILDREN YOU HAVE THE GRANDCHILDREN ON THE STREETS JUST IN THIS PERIOD OF YOU KNOW SO PUBLICLY NOW SEEN WITH THAT COFFIN AND MARCHING SO SOLEMNLY AND YOU KNOW IN SUCH A DIGNIFIED EXPRESSION, I CAN HEAR THEM GETTING CLOSER.
THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE TAKING PART IN PAIR PARADE AS MANY AS 1000 MEMBERS, THE ARMED FORCES AIR TRAFFIC HAS BEEN HALTED DURING THIS PERIOD. SO BASICALLY A TOTAL OF ABOUT 40 MINUTES 38 MINUTES THAT THIS IS GOING WALKING WALKING ABOUT A THROUGH THE STREETS OF LONDON WE HAVE SEEN PEOPLE GATHERED OUTSIDE BUCKINGHAM PALACE FOR DAYS NOW, BUT THIS TIME.
THEY ARE KIND OF SEEING QUEEN ELIZABETH DEPART FOR THE VERY LAST TIME AFTER STAYING THERE OVERNIGHT. KRISTEN MEGAN. >> AND LAUREN YOU KNOW YOU’VE BEEN THERE FOR DAYS NOW YOU KNOW YOU’RE EXPERIENCING KIND OF THE MOOD WHEN THINGS FEEL LIKE YOU KNOW 24 HOURS A DAY DO YOU GET THE SENSE EVEN WHEN THIS IS OVER AND FOLKS ENJOYING THEIR DINNER TONIGHT AND THAT SORT OF THING DID CAN YOU FEEL THE SOMBER NUS KIND OF.
THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE DAY IN YOU KNOW IT. >> WELL YOU KNOW WHAT THAT’S A GREAT QUESTION MEGAN YOU, IT’S INTERESTING WHEN I WAS OUT AT WINDSOR CASTLE, WHICH IS ONE OF THE PLACES WHERE THERE’S BEEN A PUBLIC OUTPOURING OF GRIEF AND CONDOLENCES, IT’S ONE OF THE ROYAL RESIDENCES IT WINDSOR IT SOMEWHERE WHERE THE QUEEN SPENT A LOT OF TIME WE’RE TOLD AND IT’S ABOUT AN HOUR OUTSIDE OF LONDON.
SOME OF THE PEOPLE SAID YOU KNOW IT WASN’T A SAD SOMBER. >> FEELING THERE. IT WAS RESPECTFUL IT WAS THOUGHTFUL. IT YOU KNOW ONE OF REVERENCE BUT NOT TERRIBLY YOU KNOW RESTRICTING. YES, I’VE SEEN PEOPLE YOU’RE JUST PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MOVED, BUT I THOUGHT THAT ONE MAN SUMMED IT UP AS RESPECTFUL AND THOUGHTFUL AND I THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS.
KIND OF AN APPROPRIATE WAY TO PUT IT BUT ABSOLUTELY PEOPLE ARE ALSO VERY STRONG WITH EMOTION AT TIMES YOU KNOW MY CAB DRIVER ONE NIGHT TOLD ME HIS WIFE CRIED FOR HOURS AFTER GETTING THE NEWS. SOME PEOPLE TELLING ME THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW THIS WAS COMING AND DIDN’T COME AS A SHOCK AT 96 YEARS OLD THAT WERE SURPRISED AT HOW SAD THEY FELT REMARKING ON HOW IT WAS THE ONLY MONARCH THEY’D EVER KNOWN IT REALLY GAVE A SENSE OF CONSTANCY THAT WAS IN SOME OF THE NOTES TOO THAT WE SAW AT WINDSOR CASTLE ALSO TO SOME LIGHT HEARTED KNOWS YOU KNOW A LOT OF THE OF THE NOTES FROM KIDS.
THAT I’VE SEEN IN THESE TRIBUTES.
