Thousands of people, from all walks of life, passed by her coffin queen elizabeth ii during the night, as the body of its longest-lived monarch Britain exhibited in popular pilgrimage to Westminster.
The body was taken to London from Scotland, where last Thursday Queen Elizabeth II breathed her last at the age of 96.
Passing on either side of the coffin, which has been placed on an imposing plinth, citizens – visibly moved – bowed their heads in respect. and the eyes of some were swollen from crying. Vigilant guards are the guards of the Tower of London (commonly known as Beefeaters) and soldiers who rotate every few hours.
The princely couple of Wales, William and Kate, will today visit the royal residence in Sandringham, eastern England, to see up close the flowers and dedications left there by thousands of Britons.
Security measures on Monday, the day of Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, will be draconian. Kings and heads of state and government from every corner of the world will meet in London for the “last joy” to Elizabeth II of Britain. The crowd attending the ceremony is expected to be one of the largest the country has ever seen.
