More than a million people are physically present in central London to see the Queen’s coffin and say their final goodbyes, despite the fact that a billion people are watching her burial on TV and online.
Additionally, it was the largest and most intricate law enforcement operation in the history of the nation.
A huge number of politicians from around the world, such as President Biden, Prime Minister Trudeau, President Macron, Prime Minister Truss, and so on, are there to pay their respects and keep the crowd under control.
Some people waited for the procession, which is winding through London with a grandeur we don’t typically see in the United States, for more than 24 hours to get a good view.
In sleeping bags on the sidewalk, some mourners got some rest.
As the Queen is ready to be laid to rest, the majority of the crowd are silently observing the occasion. As they stood quietly and watched the casket pass by, many of them were visibly moved and wiping away tears.
As you are aware, Queen Elizabeth served as the country’s only monarch for 70 years, making her a familiar figure to the majority of the population. This set her apart from other world leaders, who typically hold office for shorter periods of time.
Large TV monitors were placed along the route so that onlookers could view the entire procession as her body was carried past Buckingham Palace, where she called home, in a casket that lay on a gun carriage.
