A very different Remembrance Sunday at the Cenotaph in London. Only about 15% of the military personnel who normally take part were present, socially distanced as you can see from the photo below. Thousands of veterans are usually present, this year only a handful participated. The occasion was marked across Britain, though, with the two minute silence being observed by young and old on their doorsteps.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the Duchess of Cambridge on the balconies of the Foreign Office.
Duty and dignity are the words that come to mind.
What a (well, words really fail me) I guess fitting works. What a fitting remembrance of such a somber, yet joyful event. The Queen and the Duchess are beautiful and their inner strength really shows through in these photos. Thank you for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing the Queen's private reflection at Westminster, and the Duchess of Cambridge's outfit was one of my all time favorites. I think she is getting more beautiful/regal with each passing year.
