From Balmoral Castle, where she died on September 8, to Westminster Hall, where Brits gather before her coffin, franceinfo looks back on a week of mourning and tributes in the UK.
Historic funerals for an equally historic reign of more than seventy years. The UK has been in mourning since the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday 8 September at her castle in Balmoral, Scotland. Ceremonies and commemorations followed day after day. The monarch’s coffin was taken in a procession to the Scottish capital, Edinburgh. Then taken back to London, to Buckingham Palace and then Westminster Hall, where tens of thousands of British subjects parade each day to meditate and pay one last tribute to their sovereign.
The Queen’s children, Prince Charles, now King Charles III, Princess Anne, Princes Edward and Andrew, their grandchildren Prince William and Harry, their wives Kate and Meghan, accompanied the Queen’s coffin and measured the affection of a large segment of Britons on Elizabeth II. Franceinfo looks back on those days of intense emotion in the UK in pictures.
