Here are all the memes and viral moments from Queen Elizabeth’s funeral

Bagpipes. Union Jacks. Brooches and black hats. Hymns and horns aplenty. Narrow lines of Royal Guards and Royal Navy officers.

The state funeral for Queen Elizabeth II was, predictably, a sombre and tightly-choreographed spectacle, the extreme pomp and pageantry befitting of a monarch who sat on the throne for seven decades.

Outside of Westminster Hall, thousands of straight-faced mourners lined the streets to catch a glimpse of the massive and impossibly slow-moving procession - led by members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police from Westminster Abbey to Windsor Castle, the queen's final resting place.

For the millions of online viewers following along from the comfort of their homes, things were a little more chaotic, and a little more humorous.

Here's a look at some of the memes and miscellanea that rose to the surface during Monday's funeral.

A spider hitches a ride on the royal coffin

Early on in the day's proceedings, some viewers caught a brief glimpse of spider scuttling across a card that had been placed by King Charles among the flowers and wreaths covering the queen's coffin.

In loving and devoted memory. Charles R," the handwritten card read.

You had one job!

Someone was bound to slip up.

After a relatively slow start, the funeral provided its first taste of scandal when a relatively important-looking person (a vicar," perhaps?) dropped a piece of paper near the queen's coffin, disrupting the otherwise perfect service.

Social media was quick to hop on this moment, adding a dash of intrigue to the day that will surely be memorialized in a future episode of The Crown."

The Emoji Movie" hits prime time

With most workplaces and restaurants closed for the day, millions of folks across the U.K. were expected to tune into the queen's funeral on television. But come on, we can't expect everyone to be interested in this stuff, right?

In a stroke of good luck for monarchist-adverse audiences, at least one public broadcaster opted for alterative programming.

As Variety notes, while BBC One, BBC Two and ITV broadcast the funeral live and Channel 4 showed a documentary on the Queen, Channel 5 instead broadcast The Emoji Movie," the critically-panned but commercially successful children's movie from 2017.

Those lads are going to be sore in the morning

A royal round of hip-hip-hurrays" for the queen's eight pall bearers, who trudged Her Majesty's lead-lined, quarter-tonne (550-pound) coffin in and out of Westminster Hall. It's a pretty important job, and these strapping and steel-spined lads pulled it off without breaking a sweat.

RCMP lead the procession

While we're at it, we might as well give a hup-hup-ho" to the four Canadian Royal Mounted Police officers who led the queen's coffin from Westminster Abbey in a two-kilometre procession past Buckingham Palace.

Poor little Prince Louie

I'm not going to lie, I didn't know who Prince Louie was until about 20 minutes ago. But it turns out the gregarious four-year-old son of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, was one of the only members of the royal family that was not in attendance on Monday.

The cherubic little prince - apparently known for his playful and silly antics around Buckingham Palace - was considered too young" for a funeral. That ain't right.

A few more fun ones

What good is social media if not to add a bit colour and irreverence to an otherwise serious and sullen historical event?

Here are a few more lighter moments from the queen's funeral.
