The Queen Mother's funeral. Westminster Abbey Choir and Chapel Royal choristers sing a long amen after the benediction, then buglers play the Last Post.
I actually sang in the funeral, I'm two to the left of the boy with the medal in the panning shot of the choristers, it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life! (Interesting note: there were more than two buglers playing in the last post, but they were hidden by the shape of the organ loft so couldn't get in shot.)

The bugler on the left weeps throughout his presentation. God bless good Queen Mother Elizabeth for her dutiful service thruout the War Years and beyond. Our nation mourns.

It was one the most amazing things I've done to date! I do, I sing countertenor now though (used to sing bass but then there were no altos at my school!).
