I Missed Something.

I missed a bit. After the service at Westminster. I watched the entourage, but missed where the hearse made its way to Windsor. I assume that the 24 mile journey was made at respectable speed with no pedestrian accompaniment. Information appreciated.

Sorted. I was not aware of the distance involved. Thank you bookbinder. Rather a foolish question really.
royfromaus Yeah?

Yeah

just about identical to the journey to Aberdeen
Nothing like the screaming and groaning that Di's last ride caused

THEN it stopped outside windsor and the bands took over - short time on the road and then the long walk

The bagpipes when engaged played a pibroch
the military bands went thro
Beethoven Funeral Marches, 1,2 and 3
and Chopin's setting of the Death March in Saul ( Handel)
