The vigil by the grandchildren, from 14 years old to 44, is heartwarming. They mourn their granny under public eyes. Their poise and grace made the Queen proud.

Great Britain has the most breath taking traditions. People should be very wary of getting rid of things that carry on for generations. This golden thread can tie us so closely to those that have gone before. As an American, I have learned much from the Queen. How to put love of God and service to others as the first priorities of one’s life. God rest her

Rewatching and it still makes me emotional seeing this. I have no idea how they were able to do this and not cry. Much love

I never noticed before how equal the siblings are: 1 set of brothers, 1 set of sisters, 1 set of brother and sisters with the brother being older and another with the sister being older.

Big Respect to the youngest one there to be so young and take part in something so important publicly .🙏

That moment when these 8 gradchildren bowed their heads, in total silence is heartbreaking yet astonishing to see. Definition of respect.

While you can see them each hurting in different ways, this was still an extremely beautiful thing they all did, and the fact that they all decided to do it together as a family is awesome and heartwarming

The Vigils brought me to tears because it was such a break from tradition. Traditionally it was only males who preformed the Vigil for the monarch, yet for the Queen’s Anne was the first female to do it. Then they had, not just the male Grandchildren, but also the female one’s as well. She was our modern Elizabethan Era, she was Queen not just in name but in heart and mind. It was like losing your nan, I’ve lost one of the them and it hurt just the same. She represented us when we couldn’t rely on Politicians to; she did it mind, body and soul. The only person in power to actually live up to what she told us when she came to the throne.

As the youngest grandchild in my own family, I can't help but feel a bit more sympathy for James, Viscount Severn. He's fourteen years old and doing as good a job in this very public setting as his older sister and cousins. Love to all of the family. God save the King.

Losing one's grandparent is very, very difficult, and thankfully most of us can grieve in private, but these grandchildren are grieving in the public eye with criticism coming from every angle. Although I am definitely not a Royal watcher, I am very touched by the grace and dignity they have portrayed in this very sad time. Their Grannie was always very proud of them and equally, they all loved her very much. R.I.P. HRH Queen Elizabeth and may God protect your family & county.

This is really a historic moment. It shows us that the traditions of respect, familial relations and human spirit cannot be overshadowed by a materialistic world. Mourners are focused as they were forced to forget about their mobile phones. A very realistically human moment, indeed.

Despite what modern day society wants us to believe, tradition really is important. This was beautiful, and moving. May the queen Rest In Peace.

The queen will be looking down on her sweet grandchildren with tears of love .. Family is family no matter what and these young ones coming together to honour their beloved grandma is priceless and shows how truly their love was and that it will always live on

I'm astounded by how quiet it is in there. Literally not a peep; I'm very impressed. The UK has always been so dignified.

Historical moment What a beautiful tribute to their granny 🥺❤️🇬🇧

A very moving moment.....The hardest part of her funeral for me to watch was when I saw the late queens horse and dogs at her funeral, and when the queens crown was taken off her coffin, I couldn't stop crying.

How brave they all are. I'm 62 years old and I don't live in the UK. I'm in tears, nothing but respect for her Majesty the Queen and her grieving family.

It’s one thing to be “loved” by the people who only know you as a public person but to be loved and respected by your family who knows the real you - that is worth everything!

I love the grandchildren all together honoring their grandmother the Queen. Absolutely heartwarming!!!!!

no matter, how are you may feel about this family, this was a powerful, touching & loving moment to witness!

This brought me to tears. As a grandmother myself, I'm sure Queen Elizabeth II, had to be looking on with such humble pride at her amazing, strong and beautiful grandchildren.

A very heartwarming tribute given by Queen's grandchildren....The crowds waiting for hours to pay their condolences are so well behaved and dignified... This is a true reflection of modernity, civility, dignity and unity displayed by her majesty's subjects or must I say her larger family....She would be so proud of her Nation...❤️

Absolutely beautiful and elegant to see Queen Elizabeth grandchildren honor her in this lovely way 🙏🏻👑👸👑🙏🏻🕊🕊🌹🌹🌹💔💔😭😭❤❤❤

THE most influential person of ALL TIME. Never felt such emotions and never will again.

For those who have waited and queued for hours to pay their Last Respects to our late Queen, and then to have been there to witness this.....they are all part of a historical event. Very moving 💔 👑

My heart goes out to each of them at this difficult time ❤

From the U.S., may I please send our love and condolences for the woman we hold in high regard as a person of great esteem, decorum, and tradition. She was the most exceptional of ladies, and we take off our hats to her. May she rest in peace and be at peace with our Lord. God save the Queen!

How difficult this must have been for them.She was loved by her people.Her own grandchildren loved her intensely.

Funerals are one of the hardest experiences in life. The Queen’s grandchildren acquitted themselves so well especially Viscount Severn at the age of 15. Both Prince William and Prince Harry looked magnificent in their uniforms and the ladies were very smartly dressed. They all carried themselves with dignity and poise. Such a beautiful but sad tribute. One can almost feel their pain. 💔❤️‍🩹❤️💜

It is this vigil with the eight grandchildren that I will remember most. Dear Lord Jesus keep, guide and bless them always we do pray. Amen, God Save The King

She wasn’t just their queen. She was their beloved grandmother. In my experience, life isn’t the same when you lose the matriarch of your family. My great-grandmother and her daughter, my nana, died and we feel their deaths keenly during holidays. The two empty chairs they once sat in just reminds us of what’s missing. It does get better, just not quite yet.

I was so proud of Prince Edward's youngest child, Viscount Severn. He and his older sister Lady Louise didn't put a foot wrong, and stole the show for me during the vigil. P.S. Prince William was very handsome and extremely dignified leading the procession. Very proud of Diana's oldest son. I have faith that he will be a Great King one day.

What a lovely and historic thing to see.God bless them all.

Very touching, especially seeing youngest grandson there. 🥺 Forgive me from saying this at moment like this but prince William looks dashing in uniform. ☺

The most impressive procession so far has been these young people. Under the eyes of the world, they carried on with their solemn duty and did so to perfection. Well done.

Absolutely breathtaking.

Beautifully done. A great tribute to the Queen from her loving grandchildren. They were all brilliant. Well done.

Just one word: RESPECT!

What I appreciate is that the British people could see all the scene by themselves. It's so rare to see the royal family so close. Amazing moment.

How all of these amazing grandchildren didn’t break down and cry.. just amazing strength.

The fact that they wanted to do this speaks volumes......aside from being a Queen it's evident that she was an amazing mother and grandma❤❤❤

As a grandmother, this was the most beautiful thing I have seen through his whole ordeal.

The dignity and respect shown by the Queen's grandchildren was so beautiful. I still get very emotional seeing this footage 💔💔

Oh, they all must so miss their Granny. RIP Your Majesty, with Love and Respect from Auckland New Zealand ❤️

Beautiful family, I hope certain members realize family means everything ❤️. Respect each other and honor your wonderful grandmother, Our Queen by carrying on her legacy ❤️. RIP Queen Elizabeth II

I love this. Love and condolences to these young adults who lost their grandmother and grandfather in such a short period of time.

Moving and beautiful RIP Queen Elizabeth

We need traditions like this more than we know.

Queen Elizabeth II was loved dearly by her people, her children and grandchildren and around the world. For William and Harry, the public farewell must be particularly difficult🌹.The images that England sends out into the world are unique, how people behave respectfully and this 1000-year monarchy should definitely continue. 👑

As an American citizen I was moved to tears seeing the queen’s grandchildren standing vigil around her coffin.

I Love Those Boys whom are great men now. They'll always be Princess Di's boys to me I keep them in my heart w her. Good job, Boys you're beautiful ! I cried thru all of this! Country is good when ur in a safe one. Free.

Very proud of Sophie's son. Its hard to control the emotions at that age but he was amazing.

This was a very touching moment; they look so protective of her......

Seeing the grandchildren standing watch over the coffin broke my heart. 💖🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

So touching to see our Gurkha brothers honouring their Commander-in-Chief.

She was such a humble woman! I've seen many people throughout the years who didn't quite understand the rules that came along with being in her presence and I've also seen others who did know better but instead chose (for whatever reasons) to not abide by the protocol and never, not once, did she publicly scold or admonish any of them! She remained poised, polite & dignified through everything she's ever done in the public eye! She is absolutely missed by millions across the globe! RIP, QUEEN!! ❤

This is lovely and very moving. I'm sure this means a great deal to the Queen's grandchildren, and to those lucky enough to be present.

Your grandmother would be so proud of you all very well done to you all .the respect you have shown is amazing considering what you are all going through at this time.

Done with all of the class, grace and iron willed discipline that Her Majesty showed throughout her reign.

So beautiful to see the grandchildren, oldest to youngest, and in a longer version, prince edward and the countess of Wessex can be seen watching them, obviously keeping watch over theirs the youngest children, who did so well along with their older cousins

I was a little younger than Lady Louise when I lost my first grandparent. I can’t imagine what her brother is going through taking part in this being so much younger than the other grandchildren. RIP your majesty.

Grand and eloquent. Ceremonies are very important in all societies. Sadness and grief is not pleasant but the ceremony signals a permanent closure here.

I’m from Texas and have never set foot across the pond but I have always loved Her Majesty. This moved me greatly. I hope to pay my respects one day in person. What a loss to the whole world. She was a remarkable woman.

One of the most touching moments of all the funeral.

Superb. Beautiful grandchildren of a beautiful grannie and Queen.

So touching. I think the camera should have given each grandchild the same amount of airtime, she loved them equally.

Never knew her, yet she has been in my life my whole 47yrs. Her life was unique and something to celebrate. I certainly mourned her passing and if the lines of mourners were anything to go by so did many. You'd need to have a heart of stone to see this and feel nothing. Her grandchildren must have found this so hard. I'm sure she's proud. 😢

still breaks my heart watching this GOD BLESS

How sad to see them so full of sorrow. But also sweet and kind of them to stand vigil at her coffin.

I love this tradition. Britain is showing the world how it’s done.

First of all, my condolences to her family, love what they did, the love and respect was awesome! Queen Elizabeth II will certainly be missed.

I was amazed at how much this still hurts I watched it again today and saw much more than the first time and ended up crying more this time because its still so moving and sad It hurts more NOW????"

So sad, so touching. I have never witnessed how things work out, every step taken is in sync. From the guardians to the grandchildren. Out of all the videos of the vigil for Queen Elizabeth, this is the most moving. Beautiful tribute to their grandmother. She will be missed a lot. RIP Queen Elizabeth !!

im glad to see Lady Louis Windsor and princess Beatrice taking part tonight x

Beautiful and moving. For me the most emotional and heart warming part is watching the young viscount Severn doing this. He was only 14 at the time.

I’m respectful Queen Elizabeth with her grandchildren ❤R.I.P 🙏🙏🙏 from California state American 🇺🇸

Very moving indeed, history in the making... William already looks like a King. Their gran would be happy seeing her grandchildren together...

HRH Queen Elizabeth II had 8 grandchildren who stood vigil around their Grandmother's coffin. Their faces showed respect, grief & love. They are The Royal Family, the most important word we mustn't forget: Family. Rest in Peace, HRH Queen Elizabeth II. 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Tear eyed while watchingThe Queen grandchildren vigil to their great grannie, each of them had especial part of the Queen’s heart…their action speak louder than words. Sending my sympathy to the Royal family and for the eternal repose of The Queen. 🤲💐🤲 From: HK 🇭🇰

When we talk about the queen, it often escapes us that she was also a mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She will be dearly missed by us all and perhaps heart-wrenchingly by those closest to her. RIP Queen Elizabeth II.

This was heartbreaking and beautifully done at the same time. Grannie knows she was loved by many.

This is really special and I bet the queen would have been so proud of each of her adoring grandchildren. The crowds are so respectful. ♥

She was a Great Queen. May the Lord still smile upon her, and keep her close.

WOW, standing by for the Queen,as she has always done for you so wonderful and moving,Rest in Love Your Majesty ❤️👑🇬🇧💐

I recently lost my father-in-law. My 14-yr old had a difficult time to come to terms with it. These 15 minutes must have be extremely overwhelming for all 8, but for Viscount Severn in particular. My heart goes out to him.

My heart breaks for these grandchildren. How brave and incredibly respectful. I would not have the strength to do what they have just done. We hug you all in your grief

For those of us lucky to have known our grandparents and had significant relationships with them, we know the sadness and the weight of this moment would have been crushing. They did their beloved Granny proud.

I mean the tradition behind this is so unbelievable

Great admiration and respect for the Queen's grandchildren to stand vigil beside their beloved Grannie, all in the public eye. Incredibly touching.

GOD BLESS THE QUEENS GRANDKIDS AND VERY BLESSED LOVING FAMILY

What a beautiful way to honor their beloved “Granny” the Queen. My heart & prayers go out to them.

the grad children coming down the steps reminds one of the VonTrapp children from the movie "sound of music "...🥰🥰🥰🥰

My cup runneth over of the love and respect I feel watching the grandchildren standing vigil at Queen Elizabeth's coffin. Words cannot express!!

What an amazing honor these grandchildren have given her majesty..they loved her so.

Shabbat Shalom Glad to be with my church family today. Thank you for beautiful day.🙏🌺

I couldn't even speak at either of my parents funerals, I was a mess. I am strong minded, and I know these royals are stoic, but I take my hat off to them I really do. Copious amounts of respect. God bless, the Queen and her family and friends 💞

What an astonishing view. The Princes Vigil, as it is called, is usually performed by the children of the late sovereign (which was done already the other day by the King and his siblings). Today is very historic and significant that Her Late Majesty's grandchildren were here to offer a moment of silence for their Grannie. Family and tradition, private mourning and public duty rolled in 15 minutes. Historic and heartbreaking 😭💔

This is just beautiful. So much respect and love. I’m American and I’ve never been to 🇬🇧 but for my 58 years on Earth, Her Majesty has always been there in the world and I guess I took it for granted. I’ve always admired and loved her from afar and I send all my love and condolences to the family and to so many others who mourn her right now. 💐

I feel sad watching this. I’m crying. She really is gone. She meant something to me. I will miss her smile. I am American, and like billions of others outside of the U.K. I mourn. Rest In Peace dear lady and may your soul be released in glory.

How beautiful! Boy, Wills is going to be a magnificent King, I believe. ❤️👑👌 RIP, your Magesty Queen Elizabeth II. Long Live the King.
