New music at the changing of the guards, Buckingham Palace.
The BBC calls it "an unprecedented break with tradition":
Oh say can you see, by the rockets' red glare...
(Oh, and they showed a brief clip of "the royal family of neutral Sweden joining its government in mourning.") [<-- wording corrected upon re-run of the clip]

Coldstream Guards played US national anthem. If indeed unprecedented, quite a touching thing to do. Tragedy always brings out the very best; maybe it's a natural law.
The word "solidarity" was about all I could think of at the moment.
The only other time I've really cried was last night listening to a Firefighter talking about how every company had lost a brother. It was more than I could handle. It was life.
