I am very glad I did. The service at Westminster was quite wonderful - very moving. No one was long-winded. The Archbishop of Canterbury's sermon was a masterpiece. Fantastic music. How did they manage to get so much into ONE hour? And the service at St George's so poignant.<br />I agree "Farewells are..." captures the day, actually the week, of people watching.Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12921562843698278516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-42730081227563282832022-09-19T18:18:36.356+02:002022-09-19T18:18:36.356+02:00That rainbow!!That rainbow!!rottroverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12040584911302243673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-1502694619014221822022-09-19T15:45:27.783+02:002022-09-19T15:45:27.783+02:00Thank you for the order of service.

Or did you just get stuck at the word haggis... <br /><br />As for the other - I'll be otherwise engaged. The Edinburgh end of it all was sufficient, ta.

Cer...Hard to beat a good home made Victoria sponge. Certainly preferable to the haggis/chocolate offering. <br />Reading the order of service for this morning's funeral brings back memories of both my parents' funerals. For my father's funeral my mother chose the hymn 'Love Divine, all Loves Excelling' then left the rest of the musical selections to me. After the service she complained that the tune used, the same as will be sung in Westminster Abbey was the "wrong one". For her funeral I rectified the error and made sure that the version composed by Rowland Prichard (which was the one we always sang at school) was played. I hope those in charge today know which version the Queen preferred! <br />WFT Nobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315143664245246248noreply@blogger.com
