    Go on then, how many of us knew the second  verse of God Save the King?
    I was just saying to my wife... Why is it only the first verse that gets played @ Sporting Events and the Olympics etc.

    Cant be many other countries that shorten our National Anthem for the sake of it

    Not a fan of organ music, just sounds like random noise.

    Whilst I was googling what the second verse was I read that FIFA only have a limit of 90 seconds for National Anthems which is why it is not sung.

    I wonder what wood is the coffin made, it seems to light by the way it is handled.

    Love organ music myself, it really sets the atmosphere, whereas I find the marching music a bit too upbeat

    Read somewhere that its made of english oak and is lead lined. Thats why theres 8 pall bearers instead of 6 as its so heavy

    Dont hold your breath About 60% of Aussies want a National to be head of state .Albanese is only being respectful while his party has a Republic on its agenda

    There are 3 men either side of Charles, they are in dark green uniforms with a long feather out of their hats - anyone know who they are?

    What an incredible and moving spectacle this is being transmitted around the world and how great it is for the image of the UK.

    Pity the poor soldier who has to clean his boots later - Not sure if he (and others) managed to break step enough to avoid the horse toilet
