Sir! Sir!!

Two bellringer-type comments on the commentary.

The BELLS did not toll before the service: it was one single bell .

And [my much-better ringer Mrs LB agrees] no attempt was made to ring the Stedman Cinques after the service, at least during the live broadcast: they just rang rounds 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, 1,2,3,4 ......... Stedman is far from easy, perhaps they simply did not feel up to it? Good decision if so. For weddings we always ring to the lowest common denominator in the band, the bride and groom do not want clattering errors on the big day.

The bearers were excellent but we noticed a few bare hands on the way out, presumably to help grip on opposite shoulder?

A very very good show by a very very sadly depleted military.
