Hi Connor. On the day of Queen Victoria’s funeral in 1901, her coffin was to be carried on the gun carriage through the streets of Windsor but in the bitter cold of that February day, the horses which were going to pull it panicked and reared up, threatening to topple the coffin off the carriage. Captain Prince Louis of Battenberg - the future First Sea Lord of the Royal Navy - intervened and suggested to the new monarch, Edward VII, that the senior assembled Royal Navy should step in. Ropes were found for them to pull the 3 tonne gun carriage. It became an immediate tradition and the same has happened for every state or ceremonial funeral since. The gun carriage used today is the same one used to carry Queen Victoria in 1901

This so-called 'Queen' leaves behind a legacy of denial of treacherous plunder from nations, killing of innocent, unarmed civilians through inhuman laws and staying defiant on the crimes against humanity that her Empire perpetrated. She had 70 years to openly repent for their actions, but never once did I hear I'm sorry, or please forgive us, not once. She also had all the time in the world to return some or all of the stolen stones and artifacts from Africa and Indian subcontinent but never did. The torture, and Mutilation of people in the colonies can never be forgotten, or forgiven.She must be remembered in the light of her greedy, selfish actions and not some romanticized, redundant title. May those who perished because of her family's greed find peace. May humanity be spared from such characters in future.

This so-called 'Queen' leaves behind a legacy of denial of treacherous plunder from nations, killing of innocent, unarmed civilians through inhuman laws and staying defiant on the crimes against humanity that her Empire perpetrated. She had 70 years to openly repent for their actions, but never once did I hear I'm sorry, or please forgive us, not once. She also had all the time in the world to return some or all of the stolen stones and artifacts from Africa and Indian subcontinent but never did. The torture, and Mutilation of people in the colonies can never be forgotten, or forgiven.She must be remembered in the light of her greedy, selfish actions and not some romanticized, redundant title. May those who perished because of her family's greed find peace. May humanity be spared from such characters in future.

What got me was seeing the coffin stripped of the orb, scepter and crown to disappear into the burial chamber in the floor for yet another "service". You realize this was an event of the century and it happens with seamless precision, from the announcement to the crowning of the new king. To see little George in the limo with his parents, the new Prince of Wales (next in line) William and Kate, knowing that when his grandfather passes away his father will be king and he will be the new Prince of Wales. He probably gets it but doesn't understand the changes in his life that will happen.

I'm not a patriotic brit...( such mixed heritage) but this gave me legit chills....we will never see a monarch like her again, she served her country through the war, through the minefields of countries wanting to be republics....even when her family caused her tears, she put that smile on and did her duty.....I could go on, we will never see her like again, but God bless and rest nana.....and to the absolute pathetic trolls, have an opinion when you haven't spent your life asking for the State to support you

Thank you for your very kind words from over the pond. I should imagine that the Americans loved the ceremony with all the love and sadness in equal measure for our wonderful Queen. Rest assured that no one on this planet does ceremony like we Brits, but with a history as rich as ours, we’ve had much practice, celebrating tragedy and triumph equally. God Save The King. 🇬🇧

I don’t think my coop funeral plan is going to get this kind of send off. Truly amazing display of precise drill and pageantry!

This was so beautifully done I don't think we will see the likes of this again well done Great Britain for giving your Queen the send off she deserved. truly amazing.

Respect to the close family especially the King who has not had a moment to grieve for the loss of his mother and had to go on official duties all over the place from basically the moment of her death . It`s only now they and him can have time to finally grieve at their personal loss.

Everyone from the services did her Majesty proud . This is the early procession to Westminster Abbey . It's been an emotional day for the whole Country and our thoughts are with the King and family . The most emotional part may have been later at Windsor where the Crown , orb and scepter , the symbols of Office were removed from the coffin and placed on the altar , representing the transfer of power .

I've seen the overnight footage in the week leading up to her funeral of the rehearsals...mind-blowing. These men & women were as well prepared as they possibly could have been - yet still when it came down to it I'm sure there were nerves running throughout - they all did their Queen very proud. May she rest in peace.

This was a beautiful tribute. Thank you. Having her as our Queen brought a sense of absolute loyalty. We would have followed her to the ends of the earth.

What a great reaction. Thank you for not pausing and talking the whole time like some reactors to. :)

@@bostonblackie9503 Prince Louis of Battenberg was at the time Admiral of the fleet. The carriage was used during the state funeral of Queen Victoria in 1901.In the days after Victoria's death the carriage was issued to the X Battery of the Royal Horse Artillery (RHA). It was to carry the Queen's coffin from Windsor railway station to Windsor Castle, where it would be interred in the adjacent Royal Mausoleum at Frogmore on 2 February. According to the Naval Historical Society of Australia there are two accounts of the events that followed. According to a naval observer, Lieutenant Percy Noble, the RHA's horses had not been exercised while awaiting the Royal Train's arrival and were unhappy when the coffin was placed on the carriage. They are said to have reared up and threatened to topple the coffin. Noble stated that Prince Louis of Battenberg asked the Royal Navy party commander, Lieutenant Algernon Boyle, for his sailors to pull the carriage. The navy kept the gun carriage and refused to give it back to the army. Royal family serve in all three of the services not just the Royal Navy.

A beautiful procession and ceremony, befitting and celebrating the Queens life. All of the soldiers, sailors and naval personnel were utterly magnificent. The horses were truly beautiful, and seeing Emma her fell pony waiting to welcome her home to Windsor for the final time was so special.

Hey Connor it's Royal Naval Gun Carriage 146 , built By Vickers, son and Maxim in 1896 . The sailors were used to pull it as the horses used to pull Queen Victoria were spooked and nearly tipped her coffin since then it has become tradition for the senior service to pull the Carriage.

There is something timeless with this. When America is 1000 years old, I hope our descendants aren't totally woke. I feel British this month, and teared up when the ceremony took her coffin out of Westminster to Windsor. I have ancestral connections to Windsor myself. Walter FitzOther was the first Baron of Eton and first Constable of Windsor Castle is an ancestor of mine. By Walter's wife, I am descended from the real Princes of Wales.

Loved the Canadian Mounties. See the rest if you can especially Windsor. At the end her coffin is lowered mechanically through the floor into the crypt. Couldnt halp but shed tears.
