After a perfectly executed ceremony the coffin containing the body of Queen Elizabeth II was placed in the royal crypt and buried with her husband Philip
More than 4.1 billion viewers estimated to have attended the last farewell of the British to their beloved monarch, at queen elizabeth ii, in a perfectly executed ceremony.
It’s so about the biggest televised event of all timewhile around 2 million Britons are estimated to have been on the streets of London while the political function took place in the presence of 2,000 guests.
After a long ceremony, which started at Westminster Abbey and ended at Windsor Castle, the coffin with the Queen’s body was placed in the royal crypt.
Before entering the crypt and playing the national anthem, the symbols of power were removed from the coffin — the crown, orb, and scepter — and placed on the altar.
THE King Charles IIIHe could hardly hold back his tears during the national anthem.
Queen Elizabeth was buried alongside her husband Philip in a private ceremony away from the public eye, attended only by members of the royal family.
The queen’s parents are buried in the same chapel.
Elizabeth passed away at the age of 96. In the last period she was clearly depressed, as her health had taken a significant toll. She stopped her public appearances and avoided tiring events, but she remained, until the last moment, faithful to her duties. Two days before she took her last breath, Queen Elizabeth welcomed the new British Prime Minister Liz Truss and anointed her to her new office.
“Lillibet”, however, was more than a queen. She was the symbol woman, the queen who kept the monarchy alive not only in Britain, but around the world. A queen who remained on her throne for 70 years, a mother of four children, a woman who sacrificed a huge part of her personal life from a very young age, a woman who taught ethics, dedication, self-sacrifice and devotion to the duty of her role, still and when circumstances were against her or situations could have bent anyone.
