A British Transport Police vehicle and stewards responsible for managing crowds watching the passage of the coffin of Queen Elizabeth the Second along the A40 from RAF Northolt to Buckingham Palace. Pedestrian bridges and subways on the route were closed and people watched from the side of the road or from houses. I didn't manage to reach Greenford in time to see it there, I had a surprisingly clear view from a 95 bus which stopped just before the Medway underpass. For once I did not use my camera to record it, instead I will always have the image etched on my memory, a few seconds of the hearse, its interior lit so that all could see the coffin draped with the Royal Standard, emerging from the tunnel under her image on an advertising screen. Photographers with their long lenses and workmen in hi-vis stood alongside residents of the communities she passed through. It was a rock star moment. I was the idiot clapping on that bus and I don't care who knows it.

On our last day in England my husband and I visited Windsor Castle which was on our bucket list for many years and we have not regretted it. Seeing the splendor of the state apartments, St. George’s Chapel (where Meghan Markle and Prince Harry married 2018), and the impressive royal art collection were just some of the highlights of our visit there. I was delighted to find this beautiful garden located on the castle grounds with one of the impressive towers in the background. I wonder if the Queen ever wanders around here when all the tourists are gone? Of course, our vacation is long over but I still feel nourished and rejuvenated by all the beautiful things we saw on our trip a d the experiences that we made. For all you Anglophiles following me, rest assured I have plenty more photos from our England trip to post. Lastly I would like to apologize that I haven’t been posting here since we returned to the US from England in the middle of July. I have been visiting accounts I follow, though. Somehow it was difficult for me to settle back in and once I got out of the posting rhythm it was hard to get restarted, again. I guess many of you can relate. But I intend to publish now more regular again and I am looking forward to it. I would like to thank everyone for sticking with me and staying faithful to my account. My follower count didn’t go down during my silence here which in the fast paced social media world is a miracle, and I am very grateful for that! I hope to continue to provide you with content that you enjoy!

THE QUEEN AND 'THE QUEEN'...

Summer of 2008; Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth the Second, is seen here on the starboard bridge wing of the QE2, the ship that she had christened on Clydebank back in September of 1967.

Captain Ian MacNaught is escorting the Queen around the ship. The liner was due to be retired from service in November of 2008, and The Queen was following up on a fondly expressed wish to visit the ship that bore her name for one, last time...

When she came to the throne in 1952 it would have taken some time for posters to be made available and then put up to mark the death of Queen Elizabeth the Second in this way. Seventy years later, in the digital age, it probably took minutes to put this image onto the back of telephone booths across the UK. #QueenElizabeththeSecond #digital #Greenford #LondonBoroughofEaling #London #UK #September2022 #suburbs #suburban #suburbia #photography

At the Palace of Westminster, the Queen sits seated on the throne. She was brought back to London from Balmoral, where she passed away on Friday. Until the funeral on Sunday, the body will stay at the Palace of Westminster. For the queen's funeral, hundreds of thousands of mourners have gathered. The Queen's coffin, according to the Daily Mail, has been placed on a raised platform known as a "catafalque" and is being watched over 24 hours a day by members of the Sovereign's Bodyguard. The guard briefly left the stage, collapsed, and then resumed his place, according to the Daily Mail. People gathered to pay their respects to the Queen could be heard gasping as they witnessed the man falling forward and crashing on the ground.

I’ve always wanted to buy a Union Jack Flag but I will get one now in honour of Queen Elizabeth II. May she rest in Peace. 🇬🇧😢
