A royal birthday gift for me

 

 I received the crochet set as a gift last May and wanted to take on the task, but by the end of November, nothing had happened. My dear husband secretly gave the set to my sister-in-law, who finished the Queen and gave it to me as a birthday present.

Two weeks of mourning follow the Queen's death. I took several screenshots from various TV broadcasts to fill my blog entry.

On the 9th of September King Charles III gave his first speech on TV

On the 11th Sept., the coffin with The Queen's remains has been taken on a journey from Balmoral castle to Edinburg, accompagnied by her daughter, the Princess Royal Anne.




The late Queens' coffin rested overnight at Holyrood House

On the 12th Sept., King Charles III - along with his brothers and sister - led the procession as The Queen's coffin has been taken from Holyrood House to St. Giles' Cathedral

King Charles III - Princess Royal Anne - Prince Andrew without any military signs - Prince Edward guide The Queen's journey through Edinburgh

Outstanding strength, resposibility and honour to carry The Queen's coffin into St. Giles' Cathedral.
Thousands of mourners took the chance to say good bye to The Queen
