While watching the funeral, I noticed that a very nice song was sung. I believe it is called O Mamm, léif Mamm. Does anyone know the words of that song? I would greatly apprecitate it. I can't seem to find the words anywhere.

How were you able to watch it in the US?

RTL.lu had streaming video of the entire event. I think it's still up.
 
Those are some nice photos of the late Grand Duchess Josephine Charlotte when she was younger.
 
Re;

Happy Birthday to the Grand Duchess.

It's still hard to believe that she's gone. :( - She always looked so regal when she came to Britain and I loved seeing her talking to late Queen Mother at the special birthday service.
 
Re:

I've just been looking through the photographs of King Harald and Queen Sonja's Silver Wedding Anniversary and Josephine-Charlotte looks so happy, laughing and joking. It was so sad to see her slowly decline and the Luxembourg RF doesn't seem complete without her.
 
She will be truly missed:( and remembered:) .
