As the funeral for Queen Elizabeth II began, hundreds, if not thousands, of people stood up in London’s Hyde Park, according to reporter Victoria Seabrook.
Most of the crowd stood with their hands together, listening to the service as the previous chitchat subsided.
It is also striking how few people held up their phones to take photos or videos – now a familiar sight at big gatherings, especially music festivals.
Seeing everyone sitting down again gave a better sense of just how many people are there.
Other than the audio from the ceremony, booming through the speakers, it is staggeringly quiet for such a large crowd.
