  • Everybody's gloves are white too. Also they are in Horseguard's Parade. Why would they be there for a funeral. It looks like a Trooping the Colour or some kind of similar ceremony. By the way, those women in the carriage are not only not in mourning, they are exactly the people who would be. The one on the left (our left) is Queen Alexandra. The one next to her appears to be Queen Mary.

  • @davedoug99 FOI, this is the real footage.

  • I would give anything to make Britain like it was then. Without all the unpatriotic people and rampant gobalists and leftists there are now.

  • @Myles0Harcourt with the then attitude that caused the tensions leading to WW1? cheaper to just shoot 50000 of your own men each week

  • @speedcoregewalt

    No, everyone prepared to get behind their country, not be ashamed of their flag and of their Queen/King. Nowadays most people in Britain are more concerned with their COD rating or their latest designer jeans/smartphone/boob job than their country's glory and welfare.

  • She died of acute fatness.

  • @madisonelectronic If that's the case you'll probably die of a fat head.

  • @wirepaladin58 Paladin, Paladin, where do you roam-o? Paladin, Paladin, you are a homo. hahahahahahaha

  • in one of the clips of the funeral, King Edward cans be seen on his horse talking to his nephew, Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany

  • the last time all the kings and queens got together

  • @Helotes420 produce a living example then....but let me get my sterile mask first please......

  • That last coach shown is mind-blowing! I have never seen that one before in any photo or film--is it still preserved and kept at Buckinham Palace? I would love to see photos and hear/learn more about it . . . ah, the stories it could tell. Thanks so much for posting this.

  • @doltbezoar It looks like the gold State coach used for the Queens coronation. Its hard to tell because of the grainy b&w footage but that was just what I thought when I seen it. Check out the coronation videos. If it is the same one, it was used for the Queens golden Jubilee in 2001 and will be used again next year at her diamond jubilee.

  • @aeronuk1 golden state coach made for coronation of George II......

  • @LEIREANN - I guess they wore white because this was what Queen Victoria herself decreed - nobody was to wear black, as she thought it was rather sombre. They just followed her Last Will.

  • Comment removed

  • The clip at 35 seconds is NOT of the royal funeral. The women in the carriage in Horse Guards Parade are dressed in white. Under court mourning, all women wore black. So the clip is either before Queen Victoria died or after the long period of court mourning for her had ended.

  • @LEIREANN To have pointed that out you must be very knowledgable About all of this Your cool!

  • @LEIREANN I thought Queen Victoria instructed everyone ( at least the women in the family) to wear white instead of black. I read this in a book.

  • It's amazing to see such old original footage from 1901. I know back then film was only 16 frames per second, but old film is still always shown at modern speed of around 24 frames per second which speeds it up to 1.5x speed. It's awkward to slow the film down by 1.5x since you can't have 1.5 frames in every 2, it wouldn't therefore sync and the playback wouldn't work properly frame for frame. They could only slow to 12 FPS where there would be 2 identical frames in pairs on a 24 FPS system.

  • no HD?

  • 1901, the year when Britain lost its mojo...

  • @nick4uuk

    No I think we lost our mojo in 1918

  • The time will come when we have all been dead 100 years, 1000 years, 5000 years. I suspect the time will come when, just as we divide things into history and pre-history, they will make a division between those they could see walking about and those who went before.

  • Incredible. Queen Victoria died over 110 years ago, and Edward VII died 101 years ago.

  • the end of an era

  • Everyone in these clips is now dead....

  • @macbrack04 Indeed. I am old enough to have known some people (my grandparents, great uncles and aunties and others) that were born in the last decade of the nineteenth century (the 1800's). All of them are gone now....

  • @macbrack04 what about 2-4 years childs XD

  • What a wonderful record of these events.

  • Astonishing
