The long goodbye

Today it was the state funeral of our late dear Queen Elizabeth ll. No nation does pomp and pageantry like the British they say. And one could see why.

There were kings, queens, presidents, an emperor and others from around the globe representing billions of people. And it seems like millions were actually there with Her Majesty or lining the routes to pay their respects.

London was closed down for anything but the funeral. Everyone here had a public holiday... except maybe the thousand of soldiers, sailors and airmen and women on duty.

I wasn’t sure how I might react...
