I have always enjoyed the moments she uses sword.

"This is something that is more unusual," she said when someone tried to get her to use a knife.

I will truly miss her.

Carry on King Charles

Does anyone know what time (BST) the grandchildren are doing their vigil?

Please post it, or I shall miss both! lol. Tx

I'm not seeing the uniformed constables at the peripheral 4 corners that we were seeing for the last two days.

Grandchildren on now

At least Louise is wearing comfortable shoes. Beatrice's shoes look uncomfortable to me for standing without moving

The grandchildren... so touching.

Does anyone know how long the grandchildren will be stand vigil? I'm worried about Princess Beatrice as she has awfully high heels on.

I suppose that she is still young enough to want to look perfect. Me, I would have gone for a pair of sensible Gucci loafers, a favorite of the Queen.

The children, by the casket, very formal. William is looking very grown-up. That must be so difficult for them.

The Queen's children stood vigil for about 15 minutes, so I would imagine that the grandchildren will do likewise. JMO

WHo is the young kid? And the lady with the blonde hair (up in a roll), and the older guy (next to the kid) standing vigil - if anyone knows?

And who is Louise?

I believe the youngest male is James Alexander Philip Theo Mountbatten-Windsor, Viscount Severn (born 17 December 2007) He is the younger child of Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, and Sophie, Countess of Wessex.

Thank you!

The two youngest, the young man and the younger blonde woman are James, Viscount Severn and Lady Louise, the children of Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie

The other older blonde woman is Zara Phillips daughter of Princess Anne and the tallest man in a suit is Peter Phillips, son of Princess Anne.

And who is Louise?

Lady Louise Alice Elizabeth Mary Mountbatten-Windsor, generally known as Lady Louise Windsor, is the elder child of Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, and Sophie, Countess of Wessex. She is a granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

Very moving and respectful to see the grandchildren.

They are back now. I think they moved to allow the bodyguards to stand in their place whilst the grandchildren stood vigil.
