“I’m glad there was a queue, because that gave us time to see what was ahead of us, prepared us and absorbed the whole atmosphere,” health care professional Nimisha Maroo said. “I wouldn’t have liked it if I’d had to just rush through.” Late Monday, the queen will be buried in a private family service at Windsor alongside her late husband, Prince Philip, who died last year.
“Her conversations with me were always candid, we talked about anything and everything, she gave her best advice on a range of issues, she was always curious, engaged and thoughtful,” he said at a special session of the Canadian parliament in Ottawa. William told well-wishers that walking behind his grandmother’s coffin on Wednesday was “challenging” and “brought back memories” of the funeral of his mother, Princess Diana, after her death in 1997, when William was 15.
Charles, his siblings and sons marched behind the coffin, which was topped by a wreath of white roses and the queen’s diamond-studded crown on a purple velvet pillow. The military procession underscored Elizabeth’s seven decades as head of state.
