I think broadcaster Huw Edwards explained the pomp and traditions around a State Funeral to me better than anyone else has.
He said a few days ago that a State Funeral is designed to be SEEN .
That resonated with me
It makes sense.
The lying in state, the Grandchildren’s vigil and the Queue ( which was a phenomenon all of its own) all had a theatrical, visual and ceremonial power of their own and in the case of the “ the queue” allowed the public to give a nod or a curtsy with their own faces joined in the spotlight.
I’m watching the tv now and will add to today’s blog as the morning progresses.
Justin Trediau has just arrived who , apart from King Felipe of Spain, must be one of the most attractive world leaders.
The gun carriage has just left WestMinster hall amid a blast of bagpipers
The hair on my neck , stands up.
