How very sad,may the Countess rest in peace.

How very sad

Sad is perhaps not quite the right word in reference to the death of a 93 year old ? A life well lived,but marked by the appalling tragedy for losing a Father and Son in that ghastly terrorist atrocity.. may the Countess rest in peace with those loved ones taken from her, and us that awful day..

The Queen, Prince Philip, Prince Charles & members of the royal family will attend the funeral of Countess Mountbatten of Burma tomorrow

[Osipi]

I was wondering about that and frankly, I would have been very surprised if there wasn't a large royal turnout for the funeral as this is family funeral.

[An Ard Ri]

The Funeral will take place at St Paul’s Church, Knightsbridge ,I had thought it might take place at Romsey Abbey.

[cepe]

The Countess hasn't lived at Broadlands for many years. I've also read that she is being buried at Mersham.

Thank you for posting this Royal Protocol. I normally do not open and read things from the Daily Fail but I'm glad I did with this one.

If anyone has any kind of doubts that Charles and his parents do not have a loving relationship, these pictures are, as one would say, "the proof is in the pudding".

Its also made me realize how after the horrific tragedy of losing quite a few of her family in the IRA boat bombing, Countess Mountbatten threw her energies into Child Bereavement UK which now has the Duke of Cambridge as its royal patron. I hadn't realized the royal silver thread that formed this link before.

Child Bereavement was founded in 1994 by Julia Samuel who was a close friend of Diana and now George's godmother. Diana was the royal patron . His mother's involvement is a way closer tie to William than the Countness's .
