Britain And The World Mourn.
Her Majesty passed peacefully yesterday and the World now mourns. (Washington Post)
“Britain’s new king, Charles III, will deliver his first address to the nation Friday, as the country begins a period of national mourning for Queen Elizabeth II, who reigned for more than 70 years. A gun salute of 96 rounds, one for each year of her life, will be fired. Bells will toll and members of parliament will convene to pay respects.
In coming days, Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin will lie in rest in Scotland and then make its way to London, ahead of a state funeral expected to be held in around 10 days at London’s Westminster Abbey. World leaders, likely including President Biden, are expected to attend. They started paying tributes as crowds gathered to lay flowers outside Buckingham Palace.”
The Queen was a source of great stability in a World that knows only rapid and constant change. Shew was a throw back to an era of stern but loving guidance that many people knew only from grandparents and great grandparents. She was turned into everyones’ grandmother and now everyone mourns the passing of a pillar of stability. God save the King.
