The Queen awarded the Victoria medal to the coffin bearers for The Duke of Edingburgh, and various other awards and medals for others who undertook other roles, i would expect that Charles will also show his thanks in a similar way.

Dougy Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 Must admit it was all very moving, also very emotional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 Sorry I missed it all now. ☹ The coverage is a bit wall to wall and I am trying to stay ahead of news and weather and service here is a bit hit and miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you've highlighted this,,,, their actions were very noticeable, to me anyway 👏 8 hours ago, Spr1985 said: Engines an light’s off heads bowed well done gentlemen, a job well done Their final action of the night and a touching sight,,,, hat's off to them 👍 The whole 'final journey' home was very emotional, and fully respected by the many thousands of people along the whole route. It was an emotional and tear- jerking 45 minutes 😥 Welcome home Ma'am !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only saw it on the news late on, I think of London as being busy, frantic and plain ignorant, last night looked nothing like that as the city stopped to pay there respect. Very touching.

wymberley Posted September 14, 2022 Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 Not to mention the escort rider(s?) from Balmoral to Edinburgh. (s?) because I'm not sure, but every time I looked it seemed to be the same guy - certainly the same rank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jega Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) Totally agree with all the above. I sincerely hope that the pall bearers are given some sort of recognition, absolute perfection at all the various venues they attended, the pressure of this task is beyond the imagination of us mere mortals and they carried it out superbly.
