this morning, i watched the re-broadcast of the queen mother's funeral. well, i fast forwarded through most of it. mainly i caught a few parts of the service and a few parts of them driving toward windsor castle.

i was excited to see them turning down cromwell road on their way to the castle. the processional went right through south kensington/gloucester road -- where i went to school for a little while. ahh, memories.

my favorite thing said, though, at westminster abbey was this poem, written by an unknown author:

i think that's a real lovely thing to have said about you.
