When Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the throne, it was the nation’s first televised coronation. Her unwavering service lasted for seven remarkable decades. The queen’s exemplary life exuded a dignity and grace that was arguably unrivaled by any other monarch throughout history. Her passing has left a challenge for the world to carry on, following in her venerable footsteps.
From now until Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, the United Kingdom will mourn the loss with solemnity. During this period, the Union Jack will be flown at half-mast, government business will be suspended and King Charles will go on a tour across the United Kingdom to receive condolences. On the day of the funeral, public transport, television, businesses and more are expected to fall silent for a National Day of Mourning.
You don’t have to be in the United Kingdom to honor Britain's longest-reigning monarch. No matter where you live, you can honor the queen’s life in your own way.
