- The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were among the final guests to arrive for Baroness Thatcher's funeral. They got to St Paul's Cathedral around fifteen minutes before the service was due to begin at 11am. The National Anthem was played by the Band of the Welsh Guards as the Queen's car arrived at the cathedral's entrance. It is the first time the monarch has attended the funeral service of a former prime minister since Sir Winston Churchill's state ceremony in 1965. Report by Sophie Foster.

And the Queen was like "who's the senior now?!"
a bit distasteful
Of all the prime ministers she had, the Queen only came to the funeral of Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher. That's saying something
@@jonathanrotem251 It sure is.
@@jonathanrotem251 there isn’t many prime ministers that got a full state funerals.
@@gusp6612 Really? In my country Belgium they all can get one if they or their relatives ask for it.
Stop giving the sword-bearer such a hard time, the blade didn't even get close to her face. Elizabeth just flinched because a fast moving object came into her field of vision.
Nobody's giving the sword bearer a hard time you Wild attention seeking animagus. Control yourself.
OK, boomer

Who’s here while watching the new season of the crown?
WHAT, ITS ALREADY OUT????? I GOTTA GO WATCH IT
The lady playing MT is awful
Me
Just watched the whole thing in five days it was great ❤️❤️
I'm watching because I like history.
People love to think she hated Thatcher. But she attended the funerals of just 2 of her Prime Ministers. Winston Churchill. And Margaret Thatcher. That about says it all
She wanted to make sure she was dead.
@@mattdee3213 Lol. Thatcher received a state funeral to be remembered and honored. Socialists get buried shamefully in private and Britain is eager to forget them.
Lol. No it doesn't. The queen never forgave Thatcher for her apartheid views because of how much trouble it caused within the commonwealth.
Hate and respect are 2 separate things. Especially in a world where everyone is watching you.
@@MrStGeorgeIllawarra She didn't have to attend her funeral...
00:39 when The Queen almost got hit and Prince Philip looked at her and laughed 🤣 lmao
@sisu mies I think He laughed because the Queen almost got hit. Not because she laugh because of funerap
the king is dead.....
@@spilledsalt he 'was' but i still referred him as king because he just was the husband of the queen thus making him a king idk lol just my vieuw
@@crpse-qf6rh He was a prince. He wasn’t born into the royal family so he didn’t get the title of king
@@PichuHasStems while you’re correct that he wasn’t a king! However he WAS born a Prince, Prince of Greece and Denmark and just like Queen Elizabeth he is a descendant of Queen Victoria :)
9 years later the Queen passed away, RIP

"IF she dies" sorry i laughed 😂😂
I hope so I loathe Charles. If he becomes King I will charge the palace myself.
why are you talking about her dieing she is so so young only 94, byt the way she is she'll probably outlive all of us
i guess prince charless would be king for a few minutes

The Queen and duke of Edinburgh is the longest marriage couple ever exist in this era I think.
Well, they basically have no choice
@@hotradiogaga like they couldn’t die or anything
th-cam.com/video/GQ7Zma29VlY/w-d-xo.html
Publicly yeah, but they aren’t the longest overall, in my home town (in México) there are many elderly couples that are still alive at the queen and prince’s age. My grandparents for example, they have been married for 80 years, my grandfather is 100 (will be 101 in January) and my grandmother is 95, and just like them other residents of my town are around that age. But I’ll have to say, that the health that the queen and prince enjoy in their 90’s is far superior to the health of all of the other elderly couples around their age I know.
Royal Married Couple? Yes but couple? I think there are plenty of commoners out there who are married longer than hm
I love the moment when the queen steps out of her limo and the guard all stand to attention with a step downward.
And every boot stamped as one.
Yes it’s totally incredible. Spectacular

I love the fact that the Queen & Duke attended, said it all really, brilliant!
HM, the Queen! I still can't believe she's gone. Life doesn't feel the same without her. Rest in peace, dear lady.
These two women will be in the top 10 list of most influential British women in British history for two morally polar-opposite reasons - one for being political, and the other for not. RIP Queen of England.

no time for thatcher or queen

They are British after all
gives me chills
The Queen shall forever be remembered for demonstrating all of the finest qualities of British society. May her soul now rest in peace.
Such a wonderful lady, we've had a constant for 70+ years in our lives when everything is changing for the worse, and that constant is Her Majesty
But her magesty's life hasn't been changing for the worse has it. Her magesty gets to sit in her billion pound Palace doing fuk all whilst ppl project their admiration onto her.
For 70 years, there has been one constant heartbeat of this nation. And that heart belongs to Her Majesty The Queen.
Sucks she's gone now
I've been to a number of funerals here in America where the mourners were moved to clap in reference to a mentioned outstanding accomplishment or act involving the deceased. There's nothing wrong with clapping at a funeral as it shows "appreciation" for the deceased person's life and contributions towards others. It can and is also comforting to the family of the deceased, to know that many people appreciated their loved one. My mother's funeral was sad but joyful, just as she was in her life.
I’ve been to a number of funerals here in America as well and I’ve literally seen no one clapping.

No matter what people say about thatcher, she was willing to say way she wanted and was not afraid to back down. The last politician with a spine! RIP you will be missed!
Que bronca te da que Inglaterra te robe, le guste o no le guste las Malvinas son argentina ladrones siempre se han adueñado de lo ajeno, estamos choros
greedy argentines suddenly want the falklands back due to oil prospecting. Dont kid yourself about national pride or that the islands somehow belong to argentina. You tried to invade and were whopped.
You don't elect a politician to not back down. You elect politicians to represent your interests and work in harmony with other politicians to do what's best for the country. Ironic that the UK's monarchy has done this better than their elected officials like Thatcher
Funny! She may not have been afraid to back down but she was backed down and eventually thrown out.
"had a spine" in the exact same way that Hitler 'has a spine'. Better if she didn't have one.
Even then "not backing down" isn't a quality you want in a politician; you want one that represents you, and she, most certainly, did not represent the interests of the British people.
I wanna meet the queen and give her a hug, she seems like such a wonderful woman, kinda reminds me of my great grandma.

At 0:38 seconds it was humorous how the Queen and Prince Phillip reacted to that sword being swung in the Queens face. I loved their "BTS" candor. 😆
The way those soldiers came to attention when the Queen arrived sent a chill up my spine. Only we in the UK could do that.
what? stand to attention? lol okay then. If you say so.
Oh great thing
😅 I think any head of state can do that unless they're pretty rubbish soldiers
I've seen the North Koreans do better for *their* dictator.

I thought this is a funeral. But when the queen arrived it was like a party
How many couples in their 90s do you know that can walk up a flight of stairs unassisted like they did? I am beginning to believe the reptilian rumors about them.
No one gave a toss about Thatcher she was an evil bitch people were there to see the queen
@@retrosalvy9103 what is your stance NOW?
Who’s here after both queen n Philip died?
Amazing still praying for her !!!!
Both queen of Britain and Margaret Thatcher are patriots for their contry. They all work hard for their liberty and entrepreneurship. The Britain is the most loyal Ally to our country and they always stand by us firmly, no matter what is happening. We should always cherish their valuable friendship and respect their culture and help each other forever. :)
Ally? More like colony. The US is just another empire like the EU

Gotta admire how Margaret Thatcher held her own and threw shade like no one else even if it was the queen!!!
I've got a feeling she might outlive me too and I'm born in 1995.
This was a royal symbol of respect for the prime minister. They may have differed on policy and personal issues, but they had deep admiration for one another.
Well, the Queen attended to just TWO funerals of PMs, those being Thatcher's and Churchill's. That pretty much says on which side of the political spectrum she stood.
@@mellamanluiselio6294 Oh, I'm not so sure about that! From many sources, the Queen was rather appalled by some of Thatcher's policies, and she wasn't astute enough at the time to fully understand Churchill's. I think she attended their funerals because both Churchill and Thatcher were so influential, for better or worse, and made a huge impact on Britain, much more so than any other prime ministers.
I love the ' God save the Queen' playing in the background
So kind & loving of Queen Elizabeth The Second to attend the world's renowed & respectable British lady Prime Minister, the Lady with The Iron Fists.
I love & adore them both !!
The Queen really is priceless and the greatest asset the UK has ever had.
Priceless? You are all paying the price, slave idiot.
Breeded a nonce, dont think so!
😂😂
Queen Elizabeth II is the head of the Church of England and a very devout Christian. She's worked her whole life following the teachings of Jesus, that is to care for the less fortunate. Margret Thatcher was the complete and utter opposite of that. There is absolutely no comparison. The Queen uses her position of power to enrich others. Thatcher used her position of power to oppress others
A part of me wants to say the Queen looks delighted to be there.
0:38 I laughed at this bit a little, the gentleman in the robes turns and spins his staff which causes the Queen to recoil a bit!
If she hadn't died of a stroke, she would be 99 by now and as almost as immortal to the Queen
The Queen is 95 and the was just 6 months between them so I don't think she would be 99 unless some real timey wimy stuff happened
37seconds in the Queen 👑 almost gets hit by a sword. 😂😂😂 she reacted with swiftness
Margaret Thatcher was a wonderful woman. So is the Queen.
Anglican church is so fancy. The catholic ornate style blended with protestant elements. Just perfect. Henry did great.

Margaret Thatcher had her own special thing about her.
That special thing being screwing over working class families and causing the uk to bend under american influence.
One of the most bewildering Amusements to me is that she wear heels all the Frekin time
I like how the British monarchy do this pomp and circumstance when the queen arrives in a certain places and celebration, with all the guards around, the band, the music. Unlike other royalties, that when their monarch arrives is not organized. Royalty means British monarchy or vice versa.
Ceremony is everything especially within the name of the monarchy
0:17 solemn scene of a military band playing a toned-down version of their national anthem to their Queen's arrival for a national funeral - and in the background is casually the word "RAMEN" in full caps

***** Why don't you post about your knowledge of the British Government from 1979-1991 ? Here's a stamp to write on the back of and don't be embarrassed if you leave spaces !!!
Neutral Observer. Quite the contrary. It's actually the fact that I have a strong love for politics, if I can't get anywhere in music you can expect to see me in politics in some formation. Why would I get a job? When I can further my studies at university; that will evidently grant me much higher intellect that a working class pig such as yourself. Why would I get a job in the now where your industry or job will most likely be non existent. The education system now is making a future investment in jobs that don't even exist yet. We are the future, like it or not. You'll be a fossil who is out of touch with the modern world by the time I'm out of uni. I'll get a higher paying job than you and I'll pay higher taxes than you. My dad probably pays more in taxes than you earn in an annual salary . Surely you must know that someone who is taxed 40% contributes more to reform, legislation the working classes beloved NHS. I'll laugh if you become redundant in a few years, have fun getting another job when you are so under educated. You criticism Thatcher yet what she did has probably put you in better stead, for example the Right to Buy Scheme allowed some of the poorest and previously disenfranchised people in society a way to buy their own homes. Thatcher’s government crushed the grip the public sector and government held over the country and created a far better environment for entrepreneurial people to thrive. When she became prime minister in 1979, the top tax rate was a pernicious 98%; the bottom rate was 65%. However much or little you earned, you were paying most of your money in taxes, making any business activity or desire to be self-sufficient very difficult. When Margaret Thatcher left office in 1990, the top tax rate was down to 40% and the bottom tax rate was 25%. By cutting taxes and regulation people could keep and spend more of their own money, businesses thrived and the British economy was revitalized. You'd be fucked without Thatcher you uneducated pig. I also see you call me a *pedo* (which is the correct spelling thus proving how uneducated you are) yet refer to my mother being around in the 80's which suggests I'm in the range between 16-23 years of age... How can I be a pedo if you are obviously older than me? Please go back to school and get a valuable education before you spew a load of socialist shite... It's amusing to see how young adults are much more intelligent than their predecessors, must be the work of Mr Gove. If you need me to educate you further reply, if you persist to be abuse then don't reply at all because it's futile and subsequently conveys how much of a muppet you are! :)
Neutral obsever, I think she was cremated, I hope they played Disco inferno by Tina Turner ''Burn baby burn''
TBH I personally don't think any PM does. Not out of personal dislike for the ex-PM, but rather the fact that most PM's don't receive state funerals. On the face of it it just feels extremely disrespectful to leave it up to the PM of the hour to choose who he prefers.
If the argument is simply that she "Changed Britain" then Clement Attlee had just as much, if not more, of an effect and did not receive a state funeral. It needs to be about state impartiality over all.
Send Her Victorious.
Happy and Glorious
Long To Reign Over Us.

Prince Philip chuckling away there. 😂
0.37 sharing a near miss of the sword with the Queen. Sharp reactions🙏😉. Could have been drama
I bet she said, I wouldnt miss that funeral for the world..!! lol
The applause was for the Queen, who probably was thinking of the Thatchers' cheek in insisting on such a bombastic display of a funeral. Margaret Thatcher was not well-regarded in retrospect, and the unpopularity of the Conservatives made the entire spectacle a celebration of the status quo. I'm surprised that the Thatchers didn't have temper tantrums demanding naval cadets to pull the gun carriage instead of the horses. I think a lot of that applause was sympathy with the Queen's grace in attending such a farce despite her history with the deceased.
Thatcher specifically asked not to be given a State funeral, hence the lesser ceremonial funeral which she actually got.
I must assume you weren't actually in London at the time, as there was a massive feeling of support for Maggie and sadness at her demise.
Robert Holloway Nonsense. There were celebrations everywhere !!
She's THE most hated woman in history !!
Neutral Observer. And one of the most loved.
Never before has an ex PM's death been met with such joy in all corners of the UK. The only shame is that she died before she could be brought to justice for her cover up of Paedophilia. Personally I find paedophilia absolutely disgusting and for her to protect these scumbags is beneath contempt. But if Paedophilia is your thing Robert that's your choice !!
The monarch is a symbol of prestige for this counrty. It unlike a president balances out the authority of one person calling the shots. The monarch holds powers that are only allowed use in the most dire of circumstances. These powers have never been exercised so we have no idea the extent of their influence. The monarch is the head of state, the PM's boss. He/she MUST answer to the Soverign. A recent senario in the Cold war is a prime example of the Soverign's influence over the government:
I'll always remember PM Margaret Thatcher THE IRON LADY and her role in the Cold War era with President Ronald Reagan. May God Bless both of these Great and Memorable Leaders.🇬🇧🇱🇷
The Queen and her consort!!!!!!!!!! (A consort is one that is married to a person within the royal blood line - but they can never be king or queen - because they are either outside of the royal bloodline or not in succession!!)
Jeff Schwartz Philip is in the succession--but way down the list (around the 500s).
The consort to a queen is never called king because traditionally king has been a higher rank than queen. If he were called King Phillip, it would be assumed he was the head of state.
The Queen isnt german. She is more like 2 quarters german, 1 quarter scottish and a quarter english. Her father was of mostly german decent due to both of his parents, and her mother was half scottish and half english. It is alot easier to say that the queen is simply British. NO ONE in this country is 100 percent anything. Do your own ancestrial research for yourseld and you might be suprised with what you find.
Actually, by blood, The Queen is about one sixth or even one eighth German. The name England means Land of the Angles, who came from what is now Germany.
it was a great gesture of the Queen for our Maggie.

Someone should give her majesty few lessons on emotional intelligence , everytime she arrives at a funeral she smiles.
When your introduced to people it’s politeness that you smile. Not all of us are miserable
Politeness = emotional control
Thatcher was a criminal. She didn't deserve such splendid treatment.
Whe she attended the funeral she probably did not think that 8 years to the day, she would bury her husband.
