London – Queen II. About a week after Elizabeth’s death, which took place in Scotland, yesterday London saw the monarch’s first farewell day, and the long queue in public has become one of the main themes of royalty. media coverage.
The coffin with the Queen’s body arrived in the British capital on Tuesday night (14). At exactly 14:22 on Wednesday, a parade passed through the gates of Buckingham Palace to the Houses of Parliament, accompanied by thousands of people lining up to reach the sights of the parade.
The press highlighted the juxtaposition of Prince William and Harry, comparing them to the funeral of Princess Diana, their mother who died 25 years ago.
Despite disagreements over the past two years, the Queen has been expected to be very attached to her grandchildren since Harry and Meghan cut ties with the royal family and moved to the United States.
However, media attention to the two has fueled speculation that the frayed relationship will flare up again. A report in The Times suggests that publication of Harry’s long-awaited book may be delayed for content revisions and perhaps to prevent negative opinions about family life from appearing to the public at this time.
However, neither the brothers nor King Charles succeeded in taking the place of the hero of the day. Legend has it that the British love order, and the queen’s awakening proves it.
Since the doors have opened to the public, TV stations have appointed teams to document the sequence and interview those who want to walk long hours to the queen’s funeral.
And so this morning continues with live broadcasts showing the queue in the background and tough reporters who need to talk to interviewees on the go.

350,000 people are expected to pay their final personal tribute, and a grand scheme has been set up in the city.
There are about 1,000 support staff per shift (among public security officers and volunteers). As the wait can take almost a day, those who come in line are given a bracelet so they can leave the line and return to the same place.
On Tuesday morning, a reporter from Sky News reported that the wake time was not that long: “only eight hours”.
Publisher ITV has posted a video on YouTube that tracks queue length and endpoint in real time for those who want to enter the competition.
How did the newspapers document the first day of the Queen’s awakening in London?
The Daily Telegraph says the nation said goodbye “after the royal family delivered the coffin to the public”.
Title 1 had “The Long Farewell”, one of the subtitles referring to the prediction that the queen’s wake-up tail would reach 10 miles. Tuesday morning, that still hadn’t happened. Estimated 2.5 miles of TVs.
But today is a working day and over the weekend, the number of people is likely to increase as those living outside the capital need to move to London.
Another piece of news highlighting the “star of the day” says The Independent, “England lined up to bid farewell to the Queen”.
Three newspapers featured pictures of Prince Harry, William and their wives on their front pages. The title is “Shoulder to shoulder (at least one day)”. Is the question about the future in the text “permanent peace or just a temporary ceasefire”?
The front page of The Sun, which does not speculate on its cover and records only expressions of sadness, has the headline “We share your pain”.
The same approach was used by the Daily Mirror with a cover almost identical to that of its rival – the same photo and image of King Charles in the spotlight. The title is “Pride and Pain”.
The Metro newspaper chose an image of the funeral procession with the King and Prince Harry appearing in the background. The title is “Our Jewel, Your Crown”.
The front page headline of the Daily Mail read, “He is at peace as people bid farewell.”
Using the headline “Paying folks,” the Times opened the text about the wake-up line with “Waiting over.”
Veteran political columnist Quentin Letts has an article on people visiting the coffin. He accompanied the start of the visit and stated that “the crowds need no protocol for the movement of death by His Majesty”, which is the title of the article.
In one of the quotes he describes what he saw:
“Some bowed, some knelt, some women bowed. There was no right or wrong, no protocol. Many passed by the coffin in deep thought. A lot of tears.
Some needed support from their friends. a subject […] He was desolate, sadness pouring from his wrinkled eyes. Many turned as they approached the exit, not wanting to leave behind the woman they had come to honor. “
The Daily Express shows an image of the queen’s coffin, with passing issues and headline “Your nation is with you, ma’am.
The Guardian, in its cover image, deprived King Charles of the emotional focus of most other newspapers. Caption: “In the middle of the show, the queen takes her place in history”
Once again, the Financial Times dedicates a large space to funerals, noting that “thousands of people gathered in the streets of central London to watch Queen Elizabeth’s coffin pass into the Palace of Westminster.”
