The Queen was not just the head of the nation but also the head of the Church of England: “In grief and also in profound thanksgiving we come to this House of God, to a place of prayer, to a church where remembrance and hope are sacred duties,” the Dean of Westminster said. She was among the handful of those in attendance who had also been present at the previous royal funeral: that of the Duke of Edinburgh, in April, 2021, which was held in Windsor in accordance with COVID restrictions, the Queen seated alone and masked in the Quire of St. “It’s been a case of giving the news to them over and over again, and going through their raw emotions with them, whether it’s crying or telling you the same story of when they met the Queen,” she said. They would include representatives of the charities of which she was a patron, members of the royal household, heads of state from the Commonwealth and beyond. “John Donne poem in that,” the writer and broadcaster Matthew Sweet remarked on Twitter. It was the first of a monarch to be held in the Abbey since that of George II, in 1760, though the Abbey contains the tombs of a number of England’s kings and queens, including Edward the Confessor, during whose reign the Abbey was first built and who died in 1066, and Elizabeth I, the Queen’s Tudor namesake, who was crowned there in 1559 and laid to rest in the Lady Chapel in 1603. President Emmanuel Macron, of France, whose tribute to the Queen had been among the most immediate and most eloquent from a country’s leader—“Above the fluctuations and upheavals of politics, she represented a sense of eternity,” he said—took his seat. Gyles Brandreth, the broadcaster, noted that only two days before her death the Queen had performed the royal duty of asking Liz Truss to form a new government, and then immediately afterward watched her own horse, a two-year-old filly called Love Affairs, win the 3:05 from Goodwood: “What a way to go!” he marvelled. Lady Susan Hussey, the youngest daughter of the twelfth Earl Waldegrave and, at eighty-three, one of the Queen’s longest-serving ladies-in-waiting, who joined the royal household in 1960, entered the Abbey. There was the Duke of Norfolk’s announcement of the accession of King Charles from a balcony of St. The Queen, who was intimately involved with planning the sequence of events for her future appointment with the eternal, knew that for her own exit anything less than the full cessation of metropolitan and civic life would seem inadequate.

The service was also simulcast on dozens of other television channels, which created some unusual juxtapositions. Despite the enormous interest, the commemoration of Queen Elizabeth II did not meet predictions of becoming the most-watched broadcast in British television history. Comparing the audiences for different events over time is also a challenge as methodologies change. Donelan said most British people would view the cost of the Queen’s funeral as “money well spent”, but that she could not put a figure on what that cost was. When asked on Sky News about the cost of the funeral, she said: “I’m not sure of the exact costings, but as I say, I think the British public would argue that that was money well spent.

Still, the heavy rain that had been forecast held off until the ceremony ended, with the skies opening into a downpour just as mourners left the church. “The horrors committed against Indigenous peoples in British colonized lands by past monarchs will be spoken about around the council fire in the spirit land,” Dumont said. Monday’s service began with a soul-piercing version of Amazing Grace by violinist Evan Pyne that wafted through the cathedral doors to the street outside where 17 honorary pallbearers waited. But in my judgment, and for I believe the overwhelming majority of Canadians, the role of the monarchy, and in particular the irreplaceable role played by her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II for 70 years, was absolutely indispensable,” Mulroney said. But we are largely unaffected by the major spasms of social and political discontent that have destroyed so many other countries around the world,” Mulroney said. “She held the course to the end,” Clarkson said. “Our human rights.” To the skirl of bagpipes and the echoing booms of a 96-gun salute — one for each year of the Queen’s long life — the parade made its way to the church where mourners had gathered, among them former prime ministers Brian Mulroney and Joe Clark, former Gov.

Thoughtful québécois would understand that having someone above their premier whom their premier didn’t appoint would be good for their democracy.
