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 didn't watch,frankly...I didn't know much about her so I DID watch two lengthy Biographies on her life and she seemed a very good woman but I've seen enough death,tragedy and funerals in my own life to not wanna see another one...
If this makes me a heartless callous guy ,so be it

@bookerdana not at all. I don't see this as a tragedy though, she lived a long and full life, it's more a celebration, or recognition and appreciation for a life time of service
