If it’s private then keep it private not be broadcasting about it !!

BBCLookEast It was a lovely service, especially when they played his song at the beginning. Lovely messages from the whole family.

Bless his cotton socks an amazing man xxx💕

I’m sorry but I’m actually tired of this! A “simple funeral” with a 21 gun salute, a fly past and members of the armed forces carrying his coffin?

RIP True hero

Wasn't that private was it ffs... Its been blasted across the UK like a bad case of the squirts.

family visiting hospital and barbados holiday has pissed people of ! so all good work sir tom did spoiled ! by family

SirTomMoore Personally, I think his funeral service should have been family only and not with TV cameras Whilst he did raise a lot of money via a viral video and media exposure, I feel is daughter, Lucy, expolited this He did too much media The Barbados trip was a mistake

RIP..

Im sure she will tell us all about it on Monday on this morning, bbc news, good morning Britain, channel 4 news...🙄🙄

Get 7% double 5 times of your money invested. Ask me how.

Rip tom

Good bye Captain Sir!

RIP SirCaptainTomMoore

Private yet his daughters can't stop speaking to the press. He's the hero not you.

daughter just said 38 .9 million raised beeb wrong figures again

rip sir tom

How much is she charging to watch it on PPV

This 100 years old Gentleman Braught back to our Memory what a true Englishman is like So Prould of him Rest in Peace Captain Sir Tom Moore. You have been the Pride of UK.

Watching Captain Tom Tom funeral today, is beautiful we have lost a wonderful man, I hope you rest in peace next to your darling Pamela x.

Everyone tweeting about milking it. Need to grow up.

Wonderful man! Another good one gone from a great generation! R.I.P Sir!

Feel sorry for Cap Sir Tom, he wanted a simple funeral yet his attention seeking family have ignored his wishes, gone to various media outlets for interviews, police escort, flypast, army salute the list is endless

Yea but no one cares though. 🥱

I thought that the family had asked for the funeral to be private. Why are both BBC news and Sky news showing the journey of the coffin live?

He deserves a great funeral. He was a great man. ♥️

Dear BBC,your correspondent at the funeral of Sir Tom Moore needs to know it's a firing party at a military funeral not a firing squad.

Who going to be arrested today for upsetting his family?

Dancing pallbearers?

Hopefully this is the last time we will hear from his daughter. Let this great man rest in peace

Glad the nhs wasn't invited.... After what he did for them and they couldn't protect him... Shameful!

Should build a statue of him, hope his expolits can inspire some of the selfish, me me me, parts of the young society we have today

Sir captain Tom Moore was an inspiration to millions of people, he raised millions for charity and he will be remembered by millions. Thank you so much for your amazing fundraising effort. RIP RestInPeace CaptainTomMoore CaptainTom CaptainSirTomMoore TomMoore LestWeForget

So much for his wishes to have a quiet funeral. RIP Sir Tom!

All the people accusing his daughters or milking it or cashing in are kind of showing their own mentality & what they'd do. Maybe, just maybe they're just telling people their plans as lots of people supported Tom. Even though a racist vicar tried to ruin that.

Thought it was supposed to be a quiet one.

Legand Sir Thom

RIP hero. Such an inspiration

This lovely man was everything that is good about our country. RIP Sir Tom ❤

It’s shameful how this allowed to be. RIP Sir. But the fly over etc is not necessary surely

His family are certainly milking it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

An older generation that taught us what real men behave like.

He did better than the doleys and bum crying

God bless x🙏

He did this country good lets honour that

Since it is PRIVATE, stop talking about it and leave Captain Sir Tom Moore family alone to mourn him in peace! \r\rThankYou

A real man. R.I.P. Sir Tom Moore.

RIP Tom but your family are milking it all for who’s gain.

Hope they follow the rules... so many grandparents buried with few relatives allowed... but the privileged end of society has different rules...

I feel genuinely upset when they show the montages of Captain Tom and I use his words “tomorrow will be a good day” often.

RIP Tom. Shouldn’t this be low key considering we’re in the middle of a pandemic & lockdown?

Thanks Tom....RIP

Wow. But the Beeb should film it.

Is it true the family want it private but his daughter is pushing for publicity/money?

'Spectacular' is never a word I would use if I was talking about my beloved fathers funeral...but that's just me Sir Captain Tom, a wonderful, inspiring man, God bless you

Best wishes to the entire family.

HERD THERE WILL BE STRIPPERS!!

RIP captaintommoore fly high ❤❤
