Here's a selection reactions online to the Queen's funeral.
It was the honour of a lifetime, and among its saddest moments, to preach at the State Funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, whose hope and faith in Jesus Christ inspired her servant leadership. https://t.co/APvh1o5Fdh

The funeral service for Her Majesty the Queen contains some of the most hope infused passages in the Bible.

Jesus attended the funeral of a friend of his and said:“I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die" pic.twitter.com/7Jf3f89Bhv
Hamilton levels of not throwing away your shot there from @JustinWelby.

Magnificent sermon.
What an absolutely outstanding Gospel message from @JustinWelby. Whilst the world watches on the message of hope was so clear, challenging & profound. Praying it’s impacted millions. What a tribute to the Queen. Now looking forward to all the world’s leaders singing the below… pic.twitter.com/VogYhpc7zd

I must say, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the other Church representatives did a great job of proclaiming the Good News.

All glory be to Christ. 🙏 https://t.co/qPnqBekaC5
Something about hearing the lines ‘’til we cast our crowns before Thee, lost in wonder, love and praise’ at the funeral of our late Queen that totally undid me. A profound reminder of the majesty of Christ before whom we will all bow, whatever our status.#funeral #RoyalFamily pic.twitter.com/ZAvhG8qgmF

There was a bee investigating the flower tribute on the coffin.

Son: “That bee has no idea how special that is. To the bee, it’s just another flower.”
Daughter: “We might eat that honey and never know.”
Feels profound but I don’t know why.
A rich and moving sermon by my dear brother Archbishop @JustinWelby at today’s State Funeral of HM #QueenElizabethII, focusing on #TheQueen being a model of servanthood, selflessness, Faith, and the belief in the promise of #hope in our Risen Lord. https://t.co/lpVzXx6ToU

‘Her example was not set from her position… but by who she followed.

Her allegiance to God was given before anyone gave their allegiance to her.’
Incredible to sit with the hushed multitudes in HydePark to listen to @JustinWelby pic.twitter.com/VdSfVJdlKQ
A funeral, perhaps especially today's, is a time when we sense our need of eternity. Only when our lives are rooted in something more substantial and lasting than a tweet, or even our own brief lifetimes, can they find their true dignity and worth.

Watching this ceremony of Christian monarchical burial is like a journey into the deep romantic heart of Britain - where transcendent honour & due accord are not given to money or political power but to those who serve our deepest beliefs & extend them into the future & the world

As a Cromwellian Republican I have to say that was a spectacular and great funeral service - entirely fitting for a Christian queen. And as a Scot i have to say it made me proud to be British! God save King Charles! SDG #QueenElizabethIIMemorial
