Funeral Queen Elizabeth II

Well, I'll tell ya...That was incredible. Fortunately, I have no other to compare it to. The footsteps of those in the procession were precisely synchronized to the beat of the funeral march, which, if I am not mistaken, in turn mimics a beating heart. When the procession was in an enclosed space the footsteps echoed, sounding like a drum beat. Those in the procession swayed slightly to left and right with each step creating a fluttering visual (heart valves opening and closing?) Along the procession route black-uniformed guards stood with heads bowed, a protocol that I first saw around the bier as Sir Winston Churchill lay in state. It is a very moving practice. The funeral was impressive to the n-th degree.
