I cant stand the clapping, cheering, whooping etc.
Do these people really not understand the concept of quiet, reverential, respectful mourning.
It was like they were greeting the arrival of their favourite pop star or footballer. 
On top of that, most people filming it on their phones rather than being part of the moment. Makes me wonder just how much respect they really had for the Queen. 
I understand what you saying. The people today do not conform to the traditional ways of the past, of standing, heads bowed, as the coffin goes by.
But, this is 2022. The way you have seen the crowds behaving is how the people of today do show their emotions. Those emotions are no longer kept at bay, inside their heads, and never shown. That was unhealthy, and led to complications in themselves.
It is wonderful how, especially the young who you could think would not care a damn about all this, are releasing their feelings of support for the late Queen, and at other times for King Charles III.
That is far more acceptable than no one showing any interest, and not lining the streets.
The late Queen even was involved in the designing of the Jaguar hearse (what a beautiful car!) so that when she, and her descendants are taken in funeral Ceremonies the great openness, and good lighting, encourage people to see what they want to see.
No, all in all, I feel it is all good. Those who want to are paying their respects in the modern way, but adhering to the centuries old basic traditions of historic ceremonies that this great country of ours is famous for.
