I had to do a double take at 3:14
Something seemed incredibly off and anachronistic to me, until I realised the crowd weren't holding up smartphones to take video and photos, but mirrors to be able to see the procession from further back.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
I had the same thought too 😂
Apparently the queen disliked the phones. She said all she sees now is rows of phones and can't see the people's faces.
Good catch!! I showed it to my son... we just couldn't believe it. People do not change, the people in 1936 would have loved cellphones I think. LOL
Came here for this comment!
That is amazing, I didn't notice on first viewing. Wow!
Chapter 5 broke my heart. The bagpipe music on the background, the imposing Queen Mary getting out of the carriage with her head bowed and her gaze downwards, the songs in the church and in the final part the English national anthem.
God bless the King.
My mother who is in her nineties, after watching the funeral of Elizabeth II on television said that when she was a girl she remembered her mother, my grand mother getting up earlier to travel across London to watch the funeral of King George V. She would have been one of the many standing in the crowd.
87 years ago today. A criminally underrated monarch. “Grandpa England” must be so proud of “Lilibet” and all she did.
I love King George V. He rebranded, modernized and saved monarchy
The Queen visited my state of Virginia four times. First being in 1957 for the 350th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown. She also returned fifty years later for the 400th anniversary. During that visit she went out of her way to visit and console the families and friends of the victims of the Virginia Tech shooting that took place a couple weeks before. That right there truly shows her character. An icon.
😂Who cares!!🙄
Thankyou Chris L
@@zyxw2024 so far about 50 people and counting. but thanks for asking, Justin Bieber! 😉
@@zyxw2024 I care!
Thanks for sharing Chris L 👍
seeing how dreadful the weather was for her grandfathers funeral in this film reel - it was truly a blessing for the incredible sunshine in Scotland (no less) and then the weather improved during the laying in state from London’s dreary September rain to the partly cloudy but dry autumnal days while so many paid their respects to the late Elizabeth II - God save the Queen
It’s fake
@@scottharper6593 The weather is fake?
King's and Queens funerals are so spectacular nothing compares.
You just see a quick small glimpse of Princess Elizabeth of York getting out of the carriage and taking her mothers hand.
She’s wearing a black beret.
Incredible.
Time stamp?
@@wilsonlj7543 9:32
Her life truly spanned an epoch. Watching this footage makes me feel a sense of longing and loss. I look out at the scruffy, standard-less, multiculti, disloyal, gimme generations that have followed and I realise that the Britain she knew has gone and I miss it.
3 years later those sailors , soldiers and young men in the crowd would have been fighting in WW2 , RIP 🙏🏻
The Spanish Civil War began six months later in July. The month after that was the Berlin Olympics. Somewhere in this parade also was Charles Edward, one of Queen Victoria's grandsons. He's the one who showed up in a nazi uniform complete with german helmet as he was also a German prince and lived there.
Thank you for remembering the soldiers and sailors
In 1968 the Queen visited my country, Brazil. It was a great occasion for us and she was much applauded by the people. Hugs to all Brits.
🇧🇷👍
Thank you!
@@HilaryB. obrigado.
Obrigado
Few hours ago his grand-daughter get the same honors and procession, we witnessing and became a part of that historical procession
Now, having lived through and witnessed the death of our Queen in my lifetime, it's remarkable to come and review the previous Monarchs' state funeral occasions for which there exists film and discover how virtually identical they have been.
Obviously the details must all be recorded somewhere. I wonder where the instruction manual is kept?
And of course Princess Elizabeth back then at her grandfather's funeral would have been the same age as her grandson Prince George (give or take).
@@graememorrison333 no she wasn't, she was crowned queen at this time lol
@@harrymonk6 No, you've jumped 16 years and one King George into the future there!
@@Vortigan07 im always doin that
Almost exactly. Tradition that will go on long after we are gone. We were lucky enough to look back
King George V is seeing his grand daughter Queen Elizabeth and we will witness the funeral of Queen Elizabeth on September 19, 2022; 70 years after her father passed away.
Many of us are here today viewing this video because of the Queen’s Funeral earlier today. God save the King.
As others have commented, it's remarkable how almost identical both funerals were.
I believe you can catch a glimpse of Elizabeth climbing the stairs of St. George's Chapel behind her grandmother at the end of the video.
At 9:34 the then-Princess Elizabeth can be seen in the bottom right corner of the screen. 86 years later her own funeral procession would go up the same steps.
The scene inside the Chapel is also a still photo which has had a film camera aimed at it. Guess they weren't allowed to film the actual service.
Amazing to think everyone in this video has also passed. God save the Queen.
Yes it's a sad thing but also they are steeped in history
There might be a few still alive if they were children
And today, 86 years later, I watched virtually the same ceremony for Queen Elizabeth II.
The queen died 70 years after her father and 20 years after her mother and sister. Impressive.
Imagine being born 1900 and it's 2000 on your calendar.
QE the queen mother.
And 1 year after her husband. Sometimes I wonder if she would live longer if her husband were still around?
@@Down-South I think it had been clear that the Queen's health deteriorated rapidly after the DoE's death. At that great age, it must have had quite an effect on her wellbeing (her mother was only 51 when George VI died, and she lived a very long life after him).
@@Down-South I think about that too, and honestly it might be true, she seemed relative fine before he passed away, but that’s usually what happens when a life long partner dies, the other person doesn’t last too much. I always thought she’d outlive her mother.
Nara Santos : And 50 yrs after her Uncle Edward VIII/ later Duke of Windsor. 86 yrs after her grandfather George V, 112 yrs after her great grandfather Edward VII, and 121 yrs after her great, great, grandmother Victoria I .
And yesterday was the most incredible historic event I've ever seen. It was humbling and a privilege to witness the funeral of the greatest monarch of all. Rest well Princess... Queen Elizabeth.
Her namesake had her points.
Amen! It was done so well. A fine send off. May she RIP.
She was not the greatest of all, she was the worst. The country went downhill with her at the helm faster than any other monarch in our entire history.
Certainly not the greatest monarch. There were monarchs in the past, including this one George V that ruled more than a quarter of humanity. George V was crowned in India as emperor! Elizabeth never experienced something like that.
if i had not watched the Queens Funeral yesterday, i would not have understood what was happening in this video. Amazingly familiar.
Old B&W documentaries are wonderful and classic. Great narration done here, too.
Hello from NZ I am amazed yet not surprised at how her Majesty has closely followed tradition. God save the King 🇳🇿❤️🇬🇧🌹
I was just a little girl at the time of the passing of King George V yet I remember vividly those amazing days and ceremonies related to His Majesty's funeral. I was so said that I cried for days.
RIP Queen Elizabeth II. We remember you forever. Thank you Majesty for show us the history and thanks God for make her part of our history.
As an American , I believe this is how it should be. There is something special about the Monarch. Rest in peace, Queen Elizabeth. You are truly remarkable.
Hahaha what? Then you must not really believe in the idea of America. We don’t like dictators over here. You are more then welcome to move over their if you prefer dictatorship.
Every country in the world could take a note from England and how they hold and honor their traditions because it's what binds them together
Britain/UK. Scotland and Wales have some very noble traditions.
@@emilydavison2053 definitely 😊
I agree!
Monarchies aren't necessary for traditions. Traditions come from the culture not top Bureaucrat(king).
Wow. After watching the Queen’s funeral today I am taken aback by how almost identical this is. RIP to her majesty ❤️❤️🌈🌈🌈
Ahh I just commented the same! It's really quite striking, isn't it! RIP Elizabeth II 🌹
@@Vortigan07 yes, it’s so similar!
Hi pretty lady. how are you doing today? And how is the weather over there???
Imaginar que 90% das pessoas desse funeral já partiram.
3:19 a real moment of temporal dissonance - "have they all got iphones?!" before eventually it dawned that they were holding up mirrors to see over other people's heads.
I had the exact same reaction! 😆
Me too 🤣
😂😂
There were no smart phones in them days
Even I thought the same for a second as cell phones...if we think of today its same but people are holding phones instead of mirrors....its all about time
Very impressive and moving. Both this one and the recent Queen's funeral.
Most impressive: no one with mobile phones trying to film and take pictures. Just holding a photograph and being present. That was the real life.
I noticed that many at the back were holding up mirrors facing away to they could see
They also didn't have the ability to watch video and other types of Media in the palms of their hands. They would consider what we have today as simply marvelous. They would do the same thing if they could back then. Btw, you would have to go to a old dampy room for to find the film of this and look all over for something to play it, instead of find it on TH-cam.
09:30, we can see a glimpse from the young Princess Elizabeth by them.
The last moment where “Abide with me” was playing made me cry
Could not help but think how many of those soldiers marching in that funeral perished in World War II which was at the brink in 1936.
There is something more impressive watching the old film than the modern tv coverage. It’s also too bad that they didn’t get all the sailors on the train to pull her through Windsor. That said, Monday’s funeral was a very fitting tribute, and according to her wishes, I would imagine.
Not quite as grand as her father or grandfathers funerals. Their processions went all the way to Paddington Station and the sailors pulled them in Windsor too.
May he rest in peace and always be remembered guiding the British during World War I. I am glad that though Great Britain suffered a lot during both world wars they were brought back on their feet and seem to be doing okay economically. May Her Majesty live a long life and reign for another many years.
I am distant related to him so if you insult George V you are insulting me.
@@britainluver431 You have a fine beak.
lol
She’s dead lol
This is indeed one of the beauty of England.
Notice how the crowds dressed appropriately.
Not like today. It’s embarrassing
The way people dress today is dreadful. I’ve seen people go into a court room wearing tight leggings and a long t shirt ….completely disrespectful. Also, people attending church dressed like they’re going to a cocktail party…totally inappropriate.
What you’re watching happened on a January… it was cold…
@@diegos.4985 People dressed like this year round back then.
Its illegal to cover up nowadays and encouraged to be almost nude😷
I know. Standards have almost completely disappeared. Except David Beckham now there’s a proper British patriot 🇬🇧
The crowd holding up mirrors at King George V's funeral so that they can see better over people's heads - for just a second I thought that this long ago 1930s crowd were holding up cell phones like a 21st century crowd lol! 👑📱📱📱
Me too . I had to look twice !!
I had the same thought.😂
3:24 - that moment you think the 1936 crowd have selfie sticks
Worst year for uk people in 1936
What is it then?
@@jedski5956 mirrors
@@sodapop83 Ow. Thanks for informing!
We can all breathe a huge sigh of relief that Edward abdicated.
Why?
We would have still got the Queen
But twenty years later. The American
Was getting older and was probably
Barren.
@@adminemails He died without children in 1972 so Elizabeth would have become queen just over 20 years later.
He was also a nazi sympathizer. who knows what the world would have been like.
If I remember correctly, he was a Nazi sympathizer, and was suspected of having passed secrets to the Germans.
Wow this is great video! Thank u!
its crazy but there are probably a good amount of people who remember and maybe even attended King Georges funeral who are still alive today, and maybe even attended Queen Elizabeth's funeral
One of those people are Queen herself you know
This funeral, George V's, was in 1936; anybody who still remembers it would have be in their 90s at minimum.
@@christinewolfe5481 life is interesting.
Some day to come another generation will be watching this same video and we'd be all gone.. history!
maybe a few dozen who were small kids, otherwise every single person in this is dead.
@@conor987 not really, a 14 yr old lad attending this would only be a 100 yr old man if he attends the Queen's funeral. That's not a big deal.
It's amazing to see this today, I will never forget it . Rip queen Elizabeth ii
8:28 If the same process occurs for Queen Elizabeth I do think it will be an emotional moment. The last goodbye to an immense historical figure of the later 20th century and early 21st century.
Omg its exactly like it i watched it live
It was
At 9:33 you can see little Queen Elizabeth II at the bottom Right
King George V died six months before my mother was born. She was five months old at the time of the Abdication. This period would have been my grandparents era, as they were all born before 1910.
wow
my grandparents were younger than elizabeth ii and they're all gone for a long time now
Who care about your mother 🙄
@@sodapop83 I'm so sorry your grandparents are no longer with us. Three of my grandparents were younger than her, two of them are alive today.
Industrialist and magnate George Skakel's two children (out of seven total, five deceased) who were born in 1928 and 1933, are still alive.
Rosalynn Smith Carter, born in 1927, and her sister, Allethea Smith Wall, born in 1936, are still alive while their brothers who were born in 1929 and 1932, both died in 2003.
It's interesting how longevity works.
Two of my grandparents, one on either side, lived to be over 90 (Granny Cooper made it to the new millennium, dying in April 2000!)
@@angelacooper2661 you were fortunate, so was your grandmother, for her to live to be 90.
I've been tracking George Skakel's two surviving children to see if his youngest, born in 1933, will reach 90. She will if she lives until February. Both Skakel and his wife were 63 when they perished in the 1955 air tragedy over Oklahoma. Their other five children met their demise at ages 64, 76, 44, 79, and 75. If his surviving children live until January 2, 2023, that would mean his two younger children lived 20 years past the death of the most recent of his children to die.
In the case of Allethea Smith Wall, Rosalynn Smith Carter's sister, Mrs. Wall will have to live until November 10, 2026, in order to reach the age of 90. Their mother was 94 when she died on April 1, 2000; their grandfather saw the age of 95 before his death in 1966.
9:33 Princess Elizabeth, the future Queen Elizabeth ll (bottom right hand corner)
Just imagine the Queen having seen her grandfathers funeral.
You can tell this was the 30s. They still showed their proud German heritage with the German Helmets you can see at times, the sound quality, everyone acting like they worshipped their king while not being under dictatorship, the train was the only and quickest way to get to Windsor, the somewhat charming quality, not being able to show the coffin going into the Royal vault, and everyone paying attention and paying respects to a great warrior.
incredible footage… we have just seen this recently, in full colour.
Honourable King George.5th.
They can't be too many alive now from that era. We are all passing through.
Yep life is a wheel
This poem is dedicated to Queen Elizabeth II may she rest in peace
Queenie
I love the Queen she was never horrible I never mean,
she was a wonderful head of state,
with all the worlds problems on her plate, like politicians destroying her country, upholding traditions and all their superstitions, she was assiduous to her duties, carried out with grace and beauty, she Devoted her life to the service of this country,
a dutiful wife, bringing life, bearing the sorrows of her nation, Regal and sovereign A Jewel in the Crown Of gods beautiful creation,
Love Litany ✨👑🙏🇬🇧👜✨
It’s crazy to me to think most if not all of those people, all of those people who look the same ages as some people now, all of those people whom had their lives ahead of them, have now all passed away. It trips me out so much
Amazing to see the traditions just have not changed.
I’ve just realised Queen Elizabeth would have been 10 years old when this happened and apsoultly no idea that one day she would be Queen!
Her parents suspected. As George V correctly said of Edward Vlll "the boy will ruin himself within six months." Meanwhile in Berlin...
She was 2nd in line at this point. As Edward had no children.
Remarkable footage. One can imagine that having watched the funeral of Queen Elizabeth that historical events such as this which is available will be viewed much online.
The funeral today for the late-queen, Elizabeth II, was pretty much the same. Tradition is a wonderful thing.
@Ballon D'orson Would those be the same “plebs” who took quite an active role and who had a focus in today’s events? Those who had been awarded the Victoria and George Crosses, the thousands of armed forces personnel, representatives from hundreds of charities and other organisations, elected officials from around the world and not to mention the countless members of the public paying their respects and affection?
@Ballon D'orson What a shame to label all those people, who have served and contributed in the ways they have done, as “plebs” because of your very shallow view on one of our most important institutions.
@Ballon D'orson The authour, C. A. Alexander was expressing the equality of rich and poor in the eyes of God. A comparable text in Alexander's Verses for Holy Seasons (1846) makes reference to "The poor man in his straw-roofed cottage,/The rich man in his lordly hall" and states that their prayers to God are of equal importance: "He listens, and He answers all“.
However, some people give it the gloss that everyone is where he is by gods will, so the verse is usually omitted to avoid that.
Those same ‘plebs’ you speak of effectively deposed Edward VIII. His behaviour did not suit them. The current King has a realistic view of the monarchy: “If people don’t want it, they won’t have it”.
When people say ‘God Save the King’, it really has nothing to do with the fallible ordinary fellow who holds the office. It is about the system of liberty and order that he represents as the head of a constitutional monarchy.
It can go wrong, of course, but so can republics. From my republic, which has gone right, I send this greeting to Britain:
God Save the King!
Queen Maud of Norway wasn't Queen Mary's sister; she was King George V's sister.

***** You're just here to stir up trouble. Royals are a key component of history.
Not much odds when you go to bed together Prod style.
00:45
That's what he said the King's sister
The video says the King's sister
It’s interesting, after having this happened with Queen Elizabeth II, how we can observe the similarities and all the tradition behind all these protocols.
09:32 The Queen with her mother attending her grandfather's funeral!
Not a phone camera in sight 👍🏻
This would be so amazing if it were colourised.
The whole family gone but never forgotten 😔
??? You know some of George V’s grandchildren are still alive today? And his Great-Grandson sits on the throne now?
3:15 it almost looks like people of today recording with their cell phones but it was just people holding up mirrors so they can see the procession as it passes by.
at 3:11 you can see people using mirrors in order to adjust the angle and get a better view of what was happening.
Looks weirdly similar to taking a selfie.
9.35 Princess Elizabeth coming out of the carriage? To think 86 years later it would be her turn at the exact same spot.
Yes just a glimpse.
Wow, this is incredible
R.I.P H M K George V.
RIP King George V (1865-1936)
It is embarrassing how many people can't tell a mirror from a cellphone. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Elisabeth at 09:32?..Now at rest.. God save the king...🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
3:04 Not a cell phone but mirrors to catch a glimpse of history. 8:35 what is the Scottish melody, please? Thank you for posting.
Are those mirrors they are holding in the crowd to get a better view of the King by turning their back…much like the selfies we take today
3:08 Looks like people taking selfies in the crowd.
what's the name of the tune that plays from 7:44? ive heard it also played during the funerals of 2 of Kenya's past presidents and president Magufuli of Tanzania, such a beautiful tune which i believe originated from Britain.
“The train is over half an hour late” some things never change
3:05 For QE2, they had smart phones. For KG5, they had mirrors.
In 2108 people will watch Queen Elizabeth II's funeral on TH-cam (or maybe on a other platform) like we do right now.
Watch it? They'll probably be able to participate in it with virtual reality.
The beautiful old bells of Westminster abbey ☺️☺️
Looked like the person at 3:05 was holding up a phone I had to re-watch it again!
Wow after watch our queen Elizabeth II funeral how surreal it is to watch this, so similar in every way including the same peice of music by the bagpipes .
It’s insane watching this after seeing what’s happened today
The way he treated his sons made me cry. They were so terrifed of him, thats why Bertie had stomach trouble and the stammer.
Yes his sons make me cry the most whatever I am in bad mood
What?
@@christiancolarusso5835 king George v was known for being horrible to his children, his son had a bad stutter because of him, but I guess u can put that down to the era they were in but wouldn’t of killed him to treat his kids with a bit of respect.
So the queens father and uncles?
Their nanny also abused them which wasn't picked up by George V or Queen Mary.
King george v sons king george vi make me cry the most look at his father furneal
King edward make me cry the most whatever I am in the bad mood oh my god 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔. At his father furneal........
The main difference between the two funerals appears to be that trains were actually running from Paddington in 1936 unlike in 2022 😔
Yeah I got stuck there and had to go all the way across town to Waterloo 🙄
Every person here is dead,please let's love ❤ each other,we are going to be like them one day and other new generations will watch us like this on screen. 😔 😟 🙁 😥
9:33
The girl in the black hat coming out of the carriage in the lower right corner of the screen looks like Queen Elizabeth.
It is her.
“And there’s his son, the new King, who, we are all sure, will do a wonderful job and make us all proud.”
Hey, he was king for most of the year, give the guy a break.
Anyone watching after Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth's passing?
Hello…!!🥸
9:33
Little Elizabeth. Too young to wear a veil, in a black beret.
So similar to her fathers funeral.
I thought it was beautiful.
This is grandfather not father
10:14
This was played in movie theatres. Everyone would have been expected to stand up for the national anthem.
Those mirrors at 3:12 lok uncannily like today's cell phones.
Most if not all of the people we are seeing are dead. The same will be said about us when in 80 years time people will watch the funeral of ERII
He was an amazing king and her daughter too.
This is the funeral of King George V, he was the grandfather of Queen Elizabeth II
