The starting of the processions has begun and dignitaries are arriving.

Biden just arrived, reckon there's a casket in the back incase he pops his clogs being in the open for such a long period.

I stopped caring about the Brits over 200 years ago.

They're the greatest ally of the United States.
That's why you should care.
But you do you.

Love a good bagpipe procession.

FWIW that might be a decision made by the network.

You laugh but this will be a massively watched event. It’s interesting to watch posters on this board trivialize this.

I’m not relating at all to any of these hymns.

Give me a good ole “I’ll Fly Away.”

People don't understand what they don't understand.

There's an absolute frick ton of people that don't understand the fascination with football. And very few people alive were around for the last time this event happened.

If I’m not mistaken the first guards to take custody of the coffin when the procession commences toward the burial site will be the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

How did I trivialize it? I just stated that even my local news channel is not having local news this morning so the network can show this.

Seeing the pageantry of a British state funeral makes me think the US should reserve our state funerals only for two-termers.

Watching on Sky News. Not one mention or showing of Biden (or any other foreign dignitary that I noticed) during the service. When he went to Westminster Hall yesterday, no one in line even noticed him. I thought it was kind of funny.

It’s not about any of them, so why would they show them…especially during the service? It’s not a sporting event.
