London – Queen Elizabeth II is dead. The British monarch died on September 8th at the age of 96. On Monday (September 19), numerous mourners gathered in London for the Queen’s funeral service and funeral. In addition to millions of citizens who made the pilgrimage to the city center, numerous celebrities and aristocrats also showed up.

Arm in arm, in close proximity, the couple went to the church to take their reserved seats. A surprising performance given the past speculation surrounding the couple’s future.
