For all the discussion in recent decades of our decline, it is clear that much of the soul of Britain remains intact. In this instance the bonds between us have been highlighted amidst shared loss. Watching the funeral of the late Queen Elizabeth II was an occasion for so many ideas central to conservatism take their physical form. Whilst we often speak of the nation, and of our shared bonds, their abstract discussion is easier than their physical conjuring. Yet during the funeral, that the nation is a contract between the dead, the living and yet-to-be-born took on a self-evident, undeniable form.

I truly sympathise with the yearning for a sense of permanence and the need to value one’s own culture and traditions. I have watched the collapse of everything over my adult life and have grieved.
I found the comment section interesting, however, in that they were overwhelmingly negative toward the monarchy. These were coming from people who, we would expect, would likely be most supportive (except that they are awake to the NWO and global agendas etc.). For example, here is the top comment (satire):
“I was never particularly a monarchist but the way the monarchy opened up its many residences to the nation and dug deep in its very deep pockets during the recent "pandemic" and the way the recent monarch so eloquently defended people's right to choose which medicines to take,and the way all the monarchy have spoken out so forcefully against the erosion of the English people and culture and mass immigration and the way none of them are elitist entitled rich radical activists has completely changed my perspective now I realize they care about the people and country they reign over as opposed to just caring about themselves and the current minority ideologies.” Zakisbak
I don’t think Charles will be popular at all — after all, he sees himself as the WEF King of the NWO. To give my own answer to the question posed:
“Was the funeral a timely reminder of who, and what, we are? Or is it a closing hurrah of a Britain that people have neither the understanding nor desire required to keep going? Time will tell.”
This will be neither a return to monarchistic tradition, nor a people abandoning themselves and laying down to die. Rather, it will be the end of something, and the start of something new.
'Charles III, with one of the hardest acts to follow in British history, faces an uphill challenge.' What? doing what he's told to do, smile, shake hands and be polite and not being allowed to be any way political is par for the course, no? Sounds a doddle to me.

There was a recent piece on TCW in support of the new king: https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/why-we-need-a-king/
