    • Watching the funeral from a big screen in the city centre, people in Hull told us how they couldn’t help but become emotional during parts of the service today.

      Dozens had gathered together to watch it in Queen Victoria Square.

      Julie, from east Hull, said she felt a “wave of emotion” as people stood up to sing the national anthem.

      “It’s not just because we’re singing God Save The King now, it was because we’re not singing God Save The Queen any more,” she said.

      “It’s like a finality to her reign.”

      Carol, who’s lived in Hull all her life, said she thought the service was “marvellous”.

      “The Queen’s made this country a better place, so I hope Charles follows his mother,” she said.

      And Francis, who lives alone, said he was thankful for the opportunity to watch the service in a crowd.

      “I think a lot of us thought she’d never really go,” he said.

      “I did my job for 50-odd years and it’s hard to be consistent all the time. She’s done it for 70 years, she’s been an absolute trooper, and to come through and be supportive of all of us is just what we all needed.”
