The Queen's funeral will be a "transient day" that will affect millions of people.

"Also, of course, I will say that she was a young woman in the 40s and listened to the big show music of that time.
“I don't think he was passionate about music, but he was very clear about good or bad performances, whether people were doing well or not.
