BREAKING NEWS: “YES I DO”… Travis Kelce Proposes to Taylor Swift with a $13 Million Ring Hours after Pat McAfee remarks. The proposal reportedly took place in a private and intimate setting, with close friends and family present to share in the joyous occasion
King Charles III led his four siblings, the Queen’s grandsons and other members of his family in walking behind the state gun carriage carrying the Queen that was being pulled by Royal Navy sailors.
The Duke of York – wearing a morning suit after being stripped of his titles – was visibly emotional, signifying the pain of his and his family’s crushing grief.
Once at the Abbey, the Queen’s state funeral – an event not seen inside that historic church since Winston Churchill’s in 1965 – took place in front of her family, closest aides and nearly all of the world’s leaders and senior royals.
As the Archbishop of Canterbury hailed the Queen’s ‘abundant life and loving service’, there were more tears, this time from King Charles.
Then came the procession from the Abbey to Wellington Arch, and then on to Windsor Castle. An estimated 2million people had gathered along the route or were watching on big screens.
Crowds threw roses in front of the Queen’s coffin and cheered her for the final time as the state hearse drove from West London to Berkshire, with even the Queen’s beloved fell pony, Emma, standing by as her coffin was driven past her in Windsor.
Then, once in St George’s Chapel, the final televised service took place in front of Her Majesty’s family and aides.
In a highly symbolic moment, the Imperial State Crown and the Orb and Sceptre – those potent icons of royal authority – were removed from the Queen’s coffin.
