Queen’s coffin being moved

Does anyone else think there’s something ‘undignified’ in taking mobile photos of the coffin whilst its being moved? I suppose it’s the social media world we live in nowadays; just doesn’t seem right some how.
On the tv tonight one of the people giving background commentary said a parent was involved in reporting the previous Kings death and how the entire world descended upon Nairobi airport awaiting the Queen. However, when she arrived there, they all laid down their cameras out of respect for her fathers death.

The owning of a camera in 1952 was something of a rarity especially one that could discernable photograph's of more than 20 metres away, therefore a different class of people as were the press photographers then, there was no mad scramble to take the photo in a million and retire on it with instant transmission. my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

I’ve no problems with it . Respect is shown to people whilst they are living . Once they’re gone , they’re gone , you can’t offend them by taking a photo . The Queens death is a seismic event that won’t ever be seen in this country again . If people want their own personal record so be it . 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

would I want happy snappers take pics of a family funeral. NO. DAVE.

What I don't get, is in this day and age, when anyone can record an event on TV by Sky, BT, etc; why do spectators see the need to record the event on their own personal camera? Surely, they could set up "record" on their home device and see a professional recording of the very same event later and forever?!
And what's more, they've made the effort to see the event live; why watch it through a miniature flat screen? Just put the phone down and watch it with your own frigging eyes!

It’s all so they can shove it on Facebook, Twitter, whatever.

BUT, if I'm not mistaken, you can only keep it as long as you keep the box and subscription running for the relavent box.
If there is a way of removing it from the box so you can have a permanent copy I'd be interested to know it.
I've lost a few things in the past when the box has been 'upgraded'!

Any box connected to a TV can be recorded, you just need the right leads and Utube where there are instructions for most things, most TV's have
USB sockets to record anything playing on the TV by selecting Record from the menu. my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

I can understand people wanting their own record of the sad day.

As long as they're not taking selfies with the coffin in the background. Mad Steve

I bet 99% of those snaps will be deleted by the end of the month. DAVE.

My wife died during the Covid restrictions.
Only 30 were allowed inside the crematorium - considerably more were outside paying their respects, the whole sermon, coffin bearing etc. was videoed by the crematorium and broadcast live on tinternet so that the people outside could join in with the ceremony. Because it was on tinternet family and friends who couldn't make it were also able to feel apart of the ceremony.

Some family recorded the video - I don't see any difference, and if it gives them comfort I am glad of it. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner

Andy131, I can fully appreciate your situation. However, I would say that a large number of those that recorded any part of the Queen’s coffin being moved went away and said “look what I’ve got on my phone”
