World leaders and royalty observe two-minute silence for Queen Elizabeth II
Guardian, 19 Sep 2022
British and international leaders and royalty gathered in London on Monday to mourn Queen Elizabeth II observed a moment of silence amid scenes of matchless pageantry, a fitting end for Britain's longest-serving monarch, who won respect the world over for her 70 years on the throne. The funeral ended with the Last Post trumpet salute before the church and the nation fell silent for two minutes. Afterwards, the coffin was brought through central London, past Buckingham Palace to the Wellington Arch at Hyde Park Corner, with the monarch and the royal family following on foot during the 1.5-mile (2.4 km) procession
