Wonderful. I like the mix of Old and New Testaments and the music should be lovely. |

This is an article from The Times about how the coffin will be lowered into the vault and also where it is in the chapel https://www.thetimes.co.u...-year-old-vault-wrsxsxgt8In the quire, adjacent to the first step leading to the altar, there is a slab of black-and-white diamond-shaped stones. Normally sealed, this is removed for certain funerals, exposing an aperture with a lift originally operated by a process of windlass and levers but now more mechanically. Coffins are slowly lowered about 15 or 16 feet then conveyed along a passageway and through iron gates into the vault. |

Prince Philip designed his own hearse, a modified Land Roverhttps://apnews.com/articl...705121adce01a73c7e3b0752fLONDON (AP) — Prince Philip, who liked Land Rovers and drove them for much of his life, will make his last journey in one — a no-nonsense vehicle customized at his direction, down to its military green color.
The modified Land Rover TD5 130 will carry Prince Philip’s coffin in a procession at Windsor Castle on Saturday as the queen and other members of the royal family follow before the funeral and interment in St. George’s Chapel.
Buckingham Palace said the prince’s hearse was built at the Land Rover factory in Solihull in 2003, when Philip turned 82, and modified over the years with an open-top rear section to hold his coffin, with final changes being made up until 2019, the year he turned 98. Philip died April 9 at the age of 99.
Among other things, Philip asked that it be repainted in dark bronze green, a color used in military Land Rovers.
The plain vehicle and its military look reflect the man himself, a blunt-spoken former naval officer. Before he married the future Queen Elizabeth in 1947, Philip, then a prince of the Greek royal family. served as an officer in Britain’s Royal Navy during World War II and took part in the battles of Cape Matapan and Crete in 1941.
Land Rover has maintained the vehicle since it was built and kept it ready for the funeral in collaboration with the royal household.
Thierry Bollore, Land Rover’s chief executive, said that the company was “deeply privileged” to have worked with the prince, who visited company sites over the years and met hundreds of the company’s employees. The company was “honored” that one of its vehicles would be used at the funeral.

What are all of you watching? I can't watch any of the local german live streams, since whatever they had for breakfast leaves me wondering about their blood sugar levels and possible hallucinations. Is BBC live streaming?

My cable package here in the states carries BBC World News which is just running the BBC news broadcasting that is on in the UK from right now, so that’s what I’m watching today. |
