Did anyone else get emotional watching the funeral procession for the Queen?

I’m not a Royal watcher by any means and I’ve never met the Queen, but I was moved watching the images from today. Maybe it’s the general sense of loss, and empathizing with the family. Maybe it’s the fact that something that has been a constant throughout my life, is now gone, the end of an era, and endings are generally sad.
Or maybe it’s a reminder of my own aging and mortality. That not even the Queen lives forever.

I'm a bit of an Anglophile, and I love the traditions. I admired Queen Elizabeth, and I got a little choked up when they removed her casket and carried it into Westminster.
@exexec I did as well, and seeing her little crown on the purple pillow on the coffin 😢
