Spot on the steps exactly at the right time for the minute of silence. I've said it before, but the Brits do this kind of thing so well. The precision logistics demonstrated at these ceremonial events always blows me away.

Those stairs were scaring me.

They've had lots of practice with the stairs, fortunately.

Where is QE? She was sitting in the front row but now I don’t see her at all.

Black and dark wood and hard to see people
There emptiness of the church is certainly adding to the poignancy and solemnity of the occasion.

She’s so petite and stooped over, wearing a mask and a hat. I don’t know if it’s respect, or if the director realizes showing her shows only the top of a hat.
In her position, I would be very comforted by being so concealed.

This is why she usually wears bright colours, she's hard to spot otherwise.

I tuned in, and I was ok until they showed her. I pointed stuff out to my kids for a bit. I said, "see there is where we were Christmas 2019 when we visited family. There is Prince Charles. Then the camera panned to her. I am not a hugger, but I did want to give her a cuddle.
