It was "The Last Post" that got me, and then seeing her pony and her dogs so very clearly waiting for her to come home. It's such an end to an era sort of feeling.
*hugs*
It is, though. Just because time passes willy-nilly doesn't mean its passing doesn't mark something real. One of the broadcasters kept saying that most of the viewers would never have seen anything like this funeral in their lives and it wasn't celebrity hyperbole, unless you saw the funeral of her father in 1952 it was true. And even if it weren't a line across history, it's still a death. I know you don't get chevrot kadisha in the Church of England, but I found myself hoping that people were kind with her body, my disappointment in the lack of chanteys notwithstanding.
