its seem likely the queen doesnt show much emmotion as the other daughters and why is the prince consort staring at

I think that Queen Margrethe has learned not to show her sorrow in public an grieve home in privat..I think that Prince Consort Henrik is looking up in heaven to see that his mother inlaw is safe....I did the same when my grandmother was buried in April this year
The hardest time at my grandmothers funural was when the coffin was put down in the ground, so therfor i chose to look at the flag in the heaven.

Back to subject i think it must be very hard so say godbye to a parrent thinking of Queen Ingrids daugthers and their ages.

I think royals have learnt not to show emotion in public not just Queen M.
Queen M looks just as distraught as Quee AM or Princess Benedikte.

I think that Prince Consort Henrik is looking up in heaven to see that his mother inlaw is safe...

It's a sweet thought, H.M. Margrethe, but please take a closer look the next time you watch Prince Henrik attending a church ceremony! He invariably looks as if he'd rather be some place else! He is bored stiff when in church, but then again religious beliefs don't mean the same to him as they do to the Queen.

You mean after the "service" in Christiansborg Slotskirke right?

 

[kalnel]

I'm curious why Queen Margrethe, Queen Anne-Marie, and Princess Benedikte are wearing formal mourning clothes and veils, while the other female members of the family aren't. Is this a matter of etiquette, personal preference, or tradition?

At the time of the funeral, Alexandra was still married to Joachim, so I'd have imagined that all "princesses of the house" would be dressed similarly.

 

[IloveCP]

Were Pavlos and Marie Chantal there?

As he is when he is in the Royal Theatre...

 

[Grandduchess24]

Wasn't Crown prince Frederick the one who was close to his grandmother Queen Ingrid?

 

[FasterB]

Yes, but all her grandchildren was close to her

Remembering Queen Ingrid today. 11 years since she passed away. What a marvellous woman she was.

It was Queen Ingrids brothers Count Sigvard and wife Marianne Bernadotte attend Ingrids funeral. Count Carl Johan and wife Gunnila Bernadotte was attend Ingrids funeral. Oldest brother Sigvard and youngest brother Carl Johan Bernadotte. Sister-in-law Marianne and Gunnila, Princess Lilian.

The fir branches were silencing the procession, but it is also a token of honour! I can't say whether 'the palace' requested this or if it was organized by the city of Roskilde. I haven't seen this before .. nor after, for that matter. However previously in rural districts flowers were often strewn along stretches of the funeral procession route - depending on the season.

Hard to believe that was over 20 years ago

Thanks, Polyesco.

I remember it clearly. Not least the details.

That twigs of fir had been scattered on the streets close to the cathedral, to lessen the sound of the horses hoves and the wheels of the carriage.
That the train was pulled by a steam locomotive.
There is a grand style over a steam locomotive that modern locomotives simply don't have.

In the Roskilde Church Queen Margreta II will be buried alone ...a première!

I don't know whether it's true or not but I read somewhere that the churches of Copenhagen had been told to toll their bells until a man positioned in the tower of Copenhagen City Hall couldn't see the steam from the train anymore. Unfortunately the clear and cold weather meant that the steam was visible for miles and the bells kept on ringing and ringing.

I came across a video of Queen Ingrid's funeral on Youtube and as the coffin is being carried out of the church Prince Henrick turns and says something to Prince Frederick while touching him on the shoulder. Queen Margarethe then turns to Prince Henrick and there appears to be angry words spoken between them. Did anyone else notice this?

Indeed… It was a very solemn and beautiful day… In a way it felt like a joint Danish/Swedish Royal Funeral given Queen Ingrid’s uniquely position in belonging to currently reigning dynasties both by birth and by marriage… Something we may never see again.

The sound/look/view/feeling/atmosphere that a steam locomotive gives can never be matched by diesel locomotives or the more modern trains….. I hope the Danish RF will continue to arrange the funerals of their King’s and Queen’s that way for as long as it’s technically possible to do so (but i ofcourse really hope that the next occasion is still several years away)
