The United Kingdom was a minute in complete silence in honor of the death of Queen Elizabeth II this Sunday (18).
The British fell silent out of respect for the monarch as the Big Ben clock struck at 8 pm London time (4 pm GMT).
Soldiers stood in a position of order and the entire nation of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland stood in admiration of the Queen.
The symbolic tribute takes place the day before the Queen’s funeral, which begins on Monday morning (19), at around 6:30 am Brasília time.
Completing 11 days of solemnities, the burial ceremony of Elizabeth II will be at Westminster Abbey, in the English capital. A series of rites will be performed.
The monarch’s coffin has been in the Palace of Westminster since Wednesday, when it arrived from a procession from Buckingham Palace.
