The UK and the world bid adieu to Queen Elizabeth II


THE UK said farewell to Queen Elizabeth II yesterday at a state funeral attended by world leaders, before a historic last ceremonial journey through the streets of London packed with sorrowful mourners.

Huge crowds gathered in near silence in London to watch as the queen’s flag-draped coffin, topped with the imperial state crown, her orb and sceptre, was carried slowly to a gun carriage from Westminster Hall, where it had lain in state since Wednesday. – September 20, 2022.
