Why a gun carriage is used to carry the Queen
In the care of the Royal Navy since 1901, the gun carriage was removed from active service for Queen Victoria’s funeral.
It has also been used for the funerals of several other monarchs, including those of King Edward VII, King George V and the Queen’s father, King George VI, in 1952.
It also featured in the funerals of the Queen’s first prime minister, Winston Churchill, and was last used in 1979 for her cousin, Lord Louis Mountbatten.
In keeping with tradition, the gun carriage — which set off from Westminster Hall, where the Queen had been lying in state, at 10:44 a.m. — was being drawn by 142 Royal Naval Ratings, who are service personnel.
The tradition of sailors pulling the coffin was brought in after the horses used to pull Queen Victoria’s coffin in 1901 for her funeral were spooked and almost tipped her coffin.
The carriage was being flanked by the bearer party, pallbearers made up of the Queen’s service equerries, as well as detachments of the King’s Body Guards of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen at Arms, The Yeomen of the Guard and the Royal Company of Archers.
After the funeral at Westminster Abbey, it was part of a procession that stretched about a mile. King Charles III, as well as other members of the Royal Family, followed behind the carriage.
The Queen Consort, the Princess of Wales, the Countess of Wessex and the Duchess of Sussex joined the procession in cars.

Darkest Dungeon 2 Early Access trailer shows carriage rides and combat
Careening through the night
The Early Access for Darkest Dungeon 2 is right around the corner. But before the fateful day arrives, a new trailer is here to show just how gorgeous and dangerous the journey will be. Buckle your seatbelts, or whatever the horse-drawn carriage equivalent is.
The new trailer for Darkest Dungeon II gives a brief rundown of what a journey through its Early Access will look like. There are lovable rogues to recruit, maladies to manage, and in-party bickering to distract from the demonic foes in front of you.
But also, there’s the carriage. I can’t get over how good this carriage looks. Early impressions of Darkest Dungeon 2 compared its runs to Slay the Spire or FTL: Faster Than Light, games where you take branching paths down a main road. Here, it’s more like choosing the best option through a madcap dash across ruined lands. I love it.
While Darkest Dungeon 2 is taking a new approach to its paths, I’m happy to see it still retain all that gritty, gorgeous art that made the original pop in the first place. It really embodies how grim and dangerous runs are in Darkest Dungeon; where other roguelike games (or even roguelite) made me feel more and more powerful over time, Darkest Dungeon always felt like it was just waiting to destroy me at any moment.
If you’re eager for some grim death and destruction, the wait isn’t long now. Darkest Dungeon 2 hits Early Access on the Epic Games Store on Oct. 26, 2021. May your Halloween be filled with successful carriage rides and hopefully very few descents into madness.
