The is going to be a very tough day for our country.
The first sight of the Queen’s coffin.
#QueenElizabeth
In the car following the Hearse is the Queen's daughter Princess Anne and her husband Sir Tim Laurence.
Anne is a formidable person, but this six hour journey behind the Queen’s coffin would challenge the resolve of anyone.

Immediately the King makes his son William, the Prince of Wales - and Catherine, the Princess of Wales. Wasting no time bestowing that title on his son and heir. Image
King Charles: “ that promise of lifelong service, I renew to you all today“. Image
