Everything done with so much respect, reverence and honour. Beautiful in every aspect. Completely struck by how beautifully ethereal the combined choir sounded in Westminster Abbey.
I love the hymn that the choir sang as her late Majesty's coffin was brought in. It is very beautiful indeed, hauntingly so! 🤍👑🤍🕊🕊🕊 It's taken from the Bible, apparently written by King David. Psalm 139: 1-18, 23-24. It was set to music by Westminster Abbey Choir Master James O'Donnell.
This ceremony took place in Westminster *Hall* , part of the Palace of Westminster (where the UK Parliament meets but not often in this hall). The Abbey is a completely separate and unrelated building and was used for the funeral service which took place several days later. There was another funeral procession to transport the coffin from one to the other: the music was provided by pipe bands and the gun carriage was dragged by a body of Royal Navy personnel on foot instead of by horses. The choirs were Westminster Abbey and the Children of the Chapel Royal, St James's Palace.
I really took notice and paid attention when this started with the procession dirge, so appropriate. Then thrilled at the heavenly choirs' performance at Westminster House.
Westminster Hall. The Hall (over 900 years old) is the oldest surviving part of the Palace of Westminster which contains the chambers of the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
Incredibly moving and tear jerking tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II. The funeral music composed by Beethoven, Mendlessohn and Chopin played by the Grenadier Guards was spine-chilling..
such an amazing, solemn occasion - the band play and everyone else maintains the constant, solid march for almost an hour. beautiful. (And all the better for having no commentary - it is often well done but frequently they just prattle on all over the occasion)
In saying "Anachronistic - feels like its 18th or 19th C... Old Fashioned" .. Paul is missing the entire point of this ceremony and those other ceremonies. 18th C isn't anachronistic in these islands, this institution is 1200 years old in both England and Scotland, there are elements of this ceremony that are over 1000 years old. What your commentator, Paul, doesn't understand is that the UK is a Kingdom, the Monarch IS the nation, without the Monarch there is no Kingdom, this isn't just a funeral for granny, it is an important part of reaffirming the succession, the constitution and the nation. The UK is not a Republic, these ceremonies are not done out of some sort of obsession with the past, they are done to reaffirm the future and the continuation of what has come before.
I happened to turn the tv on when they were doing this march to Westminster Hall. It was an amazing spectacle. How long was the walk? I couldn't believe they all kept in step the whole way and the royal family following behind I don't know how they did it. I'm 71 and I know some of them are my age and I couldn't have made it that whole way. I'm glad I was able to see it on tv live.
Deepest condolences to to all the Royal family in their loss of their mother, grandmother and friend Rest In Peace Queen Elizabeth Now you are united once again with your beloved Prince Phillip
The queen guarded British law. She promoted British Commerce. She fostered democracy. She was Worthy. Everything America hopes to become and to be the British have been in their fashion for 200 years. Caribbean Nations , India
Commonwealth African nations and the United States are the great inheritors and benefactors of British history. For a small nation to have wielded the influence that they have to the present day is d u e n large part to the overall steadfastness of the royal families that have sent qualified men and women to the throne.
I just love the way the military band played this march. I have watched the procession probably four times or five, because of the music. I couldn't find out what it was, until now!

My deepest condolences to all of Her Majesty's family. Keep Meggitt out of the proception, she should be on the side lines, with the commoners. She's a disgrace.

Wow. That chorus at the end was beautiful.
The armed forces were absolutely incredible today, especially the guards. Nobody else does it like the British.

Watching the Performance was GREAT! but the music and the coffin walk was heart breaking
Incredibly moving and tear jerking tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II. The funeral music composed by Beethoven, Mendlessohn and Chopin played by the Grenadier Guards was spine-chilling..
It really was something else and along with he sound of the shoes stepping in time made quite an impression on me.

Beautiful history and disciplined respectful culture .perfect send off for one of the best queens in history

Such precision with pallbearers, choir, family. Heartwarming but heartbreaking also.
Those pallbearers were professional, masterful. Well done.
This did a fantastic job.
Rest in Peace Queen Elizabeth. In the end, she was the world's devoted Queen. She will be remembered fondly. 🕊️👑❤️
What is that song the soldiers are playing with the drum . It gives you goosebumps

What a wonderful Queen .
That is so so sad, what a wonderful person 😢
Espetacular and very moving
Could you please give me the reference of this choir song inside Wesminter Hall ?
I would like to know also 🙏
Psalms 139 (KJV)

Cette belle cérémonie fut exemplaire ! Vive la Royauté britannique ! ❤
Is the music Beethoven's Funeral March?
Yes, it is
Oh wow, I wondered what it was. It had just the right sound and pace for this procession, beautifully done.
I just love the way the military band played this march. I have watched the procession probably four times or five, because of the music. I couldn't find out what it was, until now!
@@ursulareeg1171 Thank you!!!!! No one was saying what it was. I really like it.
Cordiais condolências do Professor Franquêta de Sergipe no Brasil.
The commentary is pretty poor. The main presenter could barely identify Prince William!
Not the death of a “Queen” but of humanity
That's it 😔
They should Not Clap. This is a Funeral and no one claps at any Funeral.
They were showing love and respect to the Royal family and Queen Elizabeth in yhe only dignified way that they could
@@arthurnolasco185 How about just standing in silence instead of clapping like monkeys.
They have influence of Prussia as well on the crown and helmets
Rest in perfect peace our Queen
I loved the choir song as the coffin entered the abbey I'd love to know what it was also
@@Bret121 it was very beautiful. 🥹
Psalms 139 (KJV)

Why did the Orb and Scepter continue to disappear and then reappear?
Does anyone know where I can find the choir singing after this?
Psalm 139: 1-18, 23-24. It was set to music by Westminster Abbey Choir Master James O'Donnell. That famous choir has recorded quite a few albums over of years. It's possible Psalm 139 is in one of them.
@@mysticalmargaret6105 Yes I have a great recording of it sung by the Choir of King's College, Cambridge and settings of other psalms...it is 👌
what is the song they are singing when the body arrived at the Westminster hall ?
Psalm 139
Harry and Andrew were wearing morning suits, not mourning.
Anyone know what music they were playing btw?
Beethoven: Funeral March No.1.
The same music played during Remembrance Sunday wreath laying at the Cenotaph.
It’s such a majestic and ethereal song, I feel like it was the perfect pick
@@zara4793 they used it for Prince Phillip as well. I get the feeling they both planned for it.
what is this beautiful hymn the choir is singing?
Psalm 139
What is the band playing?
💔💔
Všem klobouk dolů.... 👍👍👍
What is the choir singing since 43:35 please?
Psalm 139 : -18; 23-24
whats the hymne ?
My deepest condolences to all of Her Majesty's family. Keep Meggitt out of the proception, she should be on the side lines, with the commoners. She's a disgrace.
Feels like you have a racial grievance with her.
