Amazing this procession with these bagpipes played for the kings and queens since the middle ages. Hope this goes one and god forbid muslims don't take over Great Britain. Muslims will end this type of life.
@lanksareit Those of us who supported maggie do not propose it, she left a country on the up. That is untill Blair and Brown fucked it all up, but I notice you do not mention that.
Queen Elizabeth was very dearly loved in Scotland. She was our Scottish Queen ! A fitting tribute to hear the sound of Scotland on the day we remembered her.
R.I.P HRH queen elizabeth the queen mother, you were a woman who made me proud to be english, I was only four years old when she died, and I wish that I could have remembered her more than I have, a woman who lived through two world wars, three recessions, and even managed to hit one hundred years old, something that many of us want to do. She died peacefully in her sleep at the age of 101, the way that we would all like to depart this earth with no pain and her family were at her side.

@phineas117, I'm sure that her spirit was with them, and his royal family. and I also think that Princess Diana was also with them in spirit too, and I too wish that she could meet her new Daughter-in-Law, She would've liked and loved her.
In my soul the royal family is as it is with with billions of others aroound the world,the family may not have much political power but you better believe they have *real* power.. ,when they say something must be done,it gets done,no questions a asked..they have the true honor and loyalty of billions...
What a first class Lady and Queen! Every-time there is a Royal Wedding, or event, I still keep looking for her, then, I remember- The Queen Mother is severely missed! What a treasure she was!
Hearing the commands - FUNERAL PROCESSION, BY THE CENTRE, SLOOOWWW MARRRCH (Garrison Sergeant Major Perry Mason) - that's when you realise it's the real thing - she's gone
She was a most remarkable woman as was her husband the late King. They stayed with their people through the thick and thin of WWII. They did what had to be done, not like the king who abdicated for the "woman he loved" sad always a black sheep in every family. I applaud our current Queen (yes I am American, but to me England is the homeland. God Save The British, God Save the Queen
this is so sad she was a beautiful woman and beautiful queen and wife to king george . may she rest in peace. gone but never forgotten always in our hearts. RIP sweet Queen and beautiful lady. God bless your soul.
Yes a true lady. There will never be her like (unless is is her daughter, Her Most Royal Majesty). God rest her soul. She was one in a million (or more). £ance.
There is something inevitable about the Pipes that resonates deep in the soul. It's like walking the long road of history -- as the Queen Mother has done -- and to keep moving forward no matter what happens. I'm not even a Scotswoman, but I feel it anyway.
@Threepwoodist It was the largest, but to say an empire that conquered far-off lands where they fought with spears and shields is the greatest is a bit of a stretch.
clearly hear the Garrison Sergeant Major London District - Perry Mason - funeral procession, by the center, slow march - the hairs on the back of the neck stand up & there's a shiver down the back - that's pride
Most Americans don't understand what a close thing WWII was for the Brits in the early days of the conflict. Queen Elizabeth's courage in the face of great odds cannot be overstated. The world lost a very great Lady when this fine person died.
@RoflcoptersASSEMBLE. Well said!!! The bagpipes were to honour her Scottish roots, & there'd be no current Royal family if it weren't for the Scots. BTW, I'm Scottish, too, & proud of it! B. : )
@rockinbillyboy, What grace and composure during some of the worst times. This is the little woman who, with the King as well as Sir Winston thumbed their noses at "...that jackal" (Sir Winston's words), & stood....alone!
you miss the point. The Monarchy is the rallying point for the British people and in
its present form was created out of a great civil war to remain according to our agreed way of doing things and a tried and tested set of values. An occasion
like this tests our resolve to carry on and exercises our discipline in the way we
have of doing things in time of war, tragedy and loss - as well as celebration.
Think of this on the day when William and Catherine are married.
@clocks05 Very old British tradition (and I don't know why) that women do not attend funerals so they broke with that here. When my grandad had his military funeral, I was 13 yo. I was the oldest male in line so I had to lead it.
I remember coming into the lounge when I was four and my mum was watching this. I recall a low qualtiy wide shot of westminster abbey with some procession slowly moving from the left to the right of the screen.
I think this does show exactly how the british people come together in times of sadness, regardless of race, religion or creed - we're all the same deep down...
We all die in the end.But you should not mourn the dead.Celebrate how they lived remember their life not their death.An have comfort that they are free of this awful,and unjust world.Those of us who fight on fight for u not the memory of the dead.
i respect all human beings but to see this much attention for a monarchy is toooooooooo funny. all i can say is, grow up or wake up. we are all born the same.
I am Scottish and proud to be Scottish. My best friends are English and together we are British. Lets not foget who we are and that American (Geography challenged) people realise that
How come she died so young in these modern times, they have the best medical care on hand 24/7, best food money can buy, live the life of riley yet barley make a 100..
I would expect the queen to make 100 and charles about 105 as advances in medicine progresses through the years..
Hard life innit, when your own parents grandparents are lucky to see 80 before they pop there clogs.
Oh well some people are just to stupid to be allowed to live long
was a graceful but feisty woman - give her credit for staying at home during the war she could have come to Canada my home - for protection but she dug her heels right in with her people - and husband. thanks for posting this clip - and yes - NOBODY does protocol or State Events like the English
@timothyj1966 em do you not mean the british england is not britian scotland ireland and wales with england are british and can you imagine brass bands having the same affect because that is all the english can play
Nonsense there's plenty of English pipe players, when pipe playing fell out of fashion in England and Scotland it was only revived because of the British army Northumbrian pipes never went out of fashion and are still popular in northern England, Scottish pipe bands only exist because of the British army
I stood about Ten Feet from the Queen Mother in early 1998 on my Visit to London. It was a Friday afternoon at about 1 :15 PM. She was getting into a Tinted Window Sedan and she was this Small Rotund Figure in a Coat with a Wide Rimmed Hat On.
She was coming from a Residence not far from Buckingham Palace,adjacent to ' the Mall " I can't recall the name of the House she was leaving. The Royal Family I was told was getting assembled for their Weekend Together.
Fitting to hear the pipes skirling for a Scottish lassie and a grand lady! I've Scottish background myself and my dad made sure my brother and I shared his love of the pipes. "Well done, old girl!", as a man was heard to say on Queen Victoria's 60th anniversary .Well done, indeed! May she rest in peace .
@bulked It wasn't a full State funeral, it was a ceremonial funeral. In a proper State funeral the gun carrage is pulled by members of the Royal Navy rather than horses.

Thank you. I am British but as a young man I lived and worked in the USA and there received nothing but kindness and encouragement. Let me respond with "God bless America"
@ayank3891 Your forefathers of 1776 died and fought to oust any type of monarchy... and here you here 2011. How times have changed... and not for the better.
@ayank3891 Over 200 years ago, Yanks hate King George III and broke away from British Crown but like you, today Yanks like our royal family so I wonder if the Yanks wants them back or just seeing them as celebrities?
Last Empress of India? Good - as we don't run our own country so successfully let alone others'. Courage in the Blitz? Some, but my family lived through it too and didn't have arrangements to be evacuated to Canada like the Royals did.
@likethepear While I totally agree with your comment, I have to let you know Queen Elizabeth I was Queen during the 16th Century. The Queen Mother, was officially known as Queen Consort to George VI.
@likethepear Queen Elizabeth I died at the age of 69 years at the beginning of the seventeenth century (b. 1533, reigned 1558 - 1603). This was Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother (b. 1900), reigned as queen consort to the present day Queen's father, King George VI (1936 - 1952).
the world is slowly losing all its great men and women....will we ever see the likes of them again?.....Lord God, thank you for blessing us with these great people.

a well placed piper and a gang of Glasgows finest would sort them afghan ragtop godless vermin out in a couple of days!!
many thanks for your kind remarks ,and best wishes from your good friends across the pond

@ayank3891 Over 200 years ago, Yanks hate King George III and broke away from British Crown - Now they like the royal family.
I wonder if the Yanks want the royal family back or just as celebrities?

Last Empress of India? Good - as we don't run our own country so successfully let alone others'. Courage in the Blitz? Some, but my family lived through it too and didn't have arrangements to be evacuated to Canada like the Royals did.

@likethepear While I totally agree with your comment, I have to let you know Queen Elizabeth I was Queen during the 16th Century. The Queen Mother, was officially known as Queen Consort to George VI.
darksim168 1 year ago
@likethepear Queen Elizabeth I died at the age of 69 years at the beginning of the seventeenth century (b. 1533, reigned 1558 - 1603). This was Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother (b. 1900), reigned as queen consort to the present day Queen's father, King George VI (1936 - 1952).

@likethepear - she wasnt Queen Elizabeth I. That Queen reigned over 400 years ago. The Queen Mother was Queen Consort to the current Queens father.

A most wonderful queen and a true war hero.
Hitler once called her "The most dangerous woman in Europe" because of her courage and resolve during the Battle of Britain.
