RIP to the Queen of Canada. She was our Queen for almost half of our nation's 153 year old history. And we are immensely proud to have her as our sovereign and head of state. Long lived the Queen. Dieu protège le Roi! Great to see our Mounties leading the procession.

The bagpipes and thunderous drums are just immense. Most emotional part of the state funeral for me. Incredibly proud of our armed services but even prouder of her late majesty. What a lady, missed by us all but she will live on in our hearts and minds 💔😢
