Half Mast

A shadow of grief will pass over the whole globe today.

Like billions around the planet I'll be viewing the ceremonies on TV, too busy watching and respectfully not taking any photographs.

[Diana]

Such a lovely post! As we have so much loadshedding, doubt I would be able to see much, so sad!

[Maggiemae]

@ludwigsdiana Oh, so sorry about that! We don't know how lucky we are over here! I'm not going to stay awake all night though. We will probably see it 10 times in the next few days!

[Kathy A]

I too will be up half the night watching and grieving

[Joan Robillard]

Nice capture

[Susan Wakely]

Not one for daytime TV but today I will be glued to the set.

[Peter]

An event that will be seen by millions Jackie:)

[CC Folk]

There will be 9 hours of coverage that started at in the USA. I am staying up to watch as well as record. Katniss is keeping me company.

[Babs]

It is 7.15 pm here and coverage of the funeral is on TV. We are 9 hours ahead of you, so it is going to be a long sad night

[Valerie Chesney]

Oh Jackie, we will be watching too! At one with so many others!

[Louise & Ken]

My thoughts are with all of you today. The Queen was a lovely, well-loved, admired, and respected Lady who will be greatly missed. RIP

[Jacqueline]

I’ll be watching it too!

[katy]

This is a lovely tribute for such a sad occasion.

[Kathy]

I woke up early and was able to watch most of the funeral service and procession until the casket was transferred to transport to Windsor. The even was very solemn, emotional and majestic. May she RIP and long live the King.

[Cazzi]

I watched the tv all day. It's been an emotional day for many people.

What an emotional day watching TV. My Heath Robinson system failed but the flag still flew, wonkily.

The next time I expect my Union Flag will fly will be for HM The King's coronanation ( unless that takes place when we've booked our holiday!)

A sad day for us all but a memorable send off for our dear Queen.

[jackie edwards]

I think it's a bit lovely that she is reunited with her husband. Such a lovely woman.

[Shutterbug]

We saw quite a bit of the ceremony over here. The ceremony and the crowds were all amazing.

[Diana]

I only managed little bits between our power outages, 9 hours in total yesterday! I am thoroughly peed off! Same today! What I did see was so touching that I was sad all day.

[JackieR]

[Walks @ 7]

[JackieR]
