How must the Queen have felt when she watched her husband's coffin finally disappear into the vault below the floor in front of her...?

I am sure she felt extremely upset. She was married to prince Philip for 73 years. That is longer than many of us have been alive. She knew him for longer. So I am certain it was a heartbreaking moment for her.

Hmm. On a scale of 1 to losing-a-boat it must have been pretty middling. 

She would have felt the same as the rest of us that has witnessed the committal of a loved one 

I'm sure she felt that what is left of her life will never be the same anymore.

If you are a believer, as the Queen is, then it is not the end.

I attended a service many years ago where the coffin lift screeched

and groaned as it made its descent. At least she was spared that.

It is on occasions like this that pampered people will feel exactly the same as we all will feel when that day comes for us.  The one thing that wealthy people, royalty, film stars, thieves and rogues, government officials etc. cannot escape is their own mortality.  Most of us will witness the death of a loves one and ALL of us will, ourselves, die - unless we are still here to witness THE RAPTURE.

How does any woman feel when she is burying a much-loved husband and watching the coffin lowered?  The Queen's feelings, while intense, I am sure, will not have been unique.

The Queen feels as one would expect, witnessing her beloved, supportive husband of 73 years being lowered into the burial vault...

all she can do, as a woman of faith can do, is to hope, one day, be reunited in God's presence.

I remember watching my father's coffin being lowered into the site, and my mother saying,"I guess I will be seeing you again one day..." She is now with my dad as she wished.

Run away and troll somewhere else.
