Bill Leckie who writes in the Scottish Sun has made the point that at the funerals of Princess Diana and The Queen Mother the crowds were actually there and watched events unfold through their own eyes but yesterday in the Capital, so many captured the moment her Majesty's coffin passed them through their phones.
Would you have recorded the moment or would you have put your phone in your pocket and watched through your eyes and not a screen?
I don't have a mobile phone, and this is one of the reasons why.
Life is so much better lived 'live'....watching it endless times through a small screen afterwards cannot compare.
