What an emotional day. I managed to stay awake for the whole process. We are 9 hours in front of you here in Australia, so it didn't finish until just after 2 am here.
I didn't watch all day (couldn't have concentrated as I was feeling wiped out after my Covid booster on Sunday) but did manage the services at Westminster Abbey and St. George's chapel.
Felt sorry for the chorister who sang a solo at the abbey and whose face was unseen in the broadcast because it was square-on blocked from the camera's view by a lampshade! Poor lad's going to get some teasing about that, I expect.
Found the part where the orb, sceptre and crown were removed from the queen's coffin particularly moving and symbolic.
