>> Anchor: YOU HAVE DONE SUCH A
GREAT JOB FOR ALL OF US HERE AT
HOME AS YOU HAVE COVER THE MANY
DAYS WE HAVE SAID OUR GOODBYES
TO QUEEN ELISABETH II.
ONE THING I WOULD LOVE TO TALK
ABOUT IS YOU WERE THERE. YOU
GOT TO SEE THE QUEEN’S COFFIN
BEING TAKEN AWAY FROM
WESTMINSTER ABBEY AND THEN THE
STREETS OF LONDON TO WINDSOR.
WHAT WAS IT LIKE FOR YOU?
WHAT WAS THE REACTION OF THE
CROWD AS THE COFFIN WAS PASSING
THROUGH?
A BIT OF A DIFFERENT TONE THAN
WE SAW EARLIER A FEW DAYS AGO.
IT WAS A LITTLE MORE SOMBER.
WE EVEN SAW PEOPLE CHEERING AND
SORT OF BEING JUBILANT GIVING
THE GOODBYES TO THE QUEEN.
>> Reporter: YES.
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM THE
LAST TIME WE SAW THE COFFIN
FROM BUCKINGHAM PALACE DURING
THAT PROCESSION.
THIS TIME PEOPLE ARE A LITTLE MORE HOPEFUL FOR THEIR FUTURE. MORE OF LIKE A THANK YOU TO THE
QUEEN.
THEY WERE EXCITED TO SEE THE
COFFIN GO BY BECAUSE THEY FELT
LIKE IT WAS THEIR LAST CHANCE,
SO EVERYONE WHO DIDN’T MAKE IT
IN THE LAST 10 DAYS PAYING
THEIR RESPECTS TO THE QUEEN
THEY FELT IT WAS THEIR MOMENT
TO BE HERE.
YOURSELF OUT OF WORK MODE.
YOU SEE THE COFFIN GO BY AND
TAKE A MOMENT TO TAKE IT ALL
IN.
IT REALLY IS A MOMENT IN
HISTORY.
>> Anchor: DEFINITELY.
AND THE PRECISION IN WHICH THE
MILITARY MARCHED IN STEP.
SO MUCH WENT INTO MAKING THIS A
PERFECT DAY AND THE CROWDS WERE
IN SUCH CONTROL.
THIS WAS SUCH A BIG POLICE
SITUATION AS WELL IN TERMS OF
CROWD CONTROL.
THEY PULLED IT OFF MASTERFULLY.
>> Reporter: YES.
ABSOLUTELY.
10,000 POLICE OFFICERS DAILY
PATROLLING THE CITY OF LONDON.
THE LARGEST MOST COMPLEX
SECURITY OPERATION THEY HAVE
EVER HAD.
DEFINITELY A LOT OF POLICE AND
VOLUNTEERS.
WHEN THEY WERE LINING UP TO PAY
THEIR RESPECTS TO THE QUEEN,
MANY VOLUNTEERS AND PARAMEDICS
AROUND TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE
WAS SAFE.
THE PRECISION YOU TALK ABOUT
ABSOLUTELY.
WHEN I SAY THEY WERE GOING TO
START AT 10:44 AND THE COFFIN
WILL GO FROM THE HALL TO THE
ABBEY, THEY STARTED AT 10:44
AND DID EXACTLY AS IT WAS
LISTED.
THE POSITION WAS SUPPOSED TO
START AT 2:22 AND STARTED
EXACTLY AT 2:22. QUITE
IMPRESSIVE.
>> Anchor: QUITE A SEAMLESS A
MAN AND HISTORIC EVENT WE ALL
GOT TO WITNESS.
THANK YOU.
WE WILL BE CHECKING BACK ALL
THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
RIGHT NOW, WE WANT TO TAKE YOU
BACK TO THE LIVE PICTURES.
THIS IS WINDSOR CASTLE.
THE COMMITTAL SERVICE WRAPPING
UP AT ST. GEORGE’S CHAPEL.
REALLY ABOUT 30 MINUTES AGO.
WE SAW MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL
FAMILY LEAVING THE CHAPEL AND
LATER TONIGHT THEY WILL HAVE A
PRIVATE MOMENT FOR THE ACTUAL
BURIAL OF QUEEN ELISABETH II.
SO MUCH MORE LIVE REPORTS LATER
TODAY AS QUEEN ELISABETH IS
