Crowds flock to London to see queen's coffin procession abc15
Queen Elizabeth II's coffin will leave Buckingham Palace for the last time Wednesday as it is taken amid somber pageantry on a horse-drawn gun carriage past crowds of mourners to the Houses of Parliament, where the late monarch will lie in state for four days.
Joan Bucklehurst, a 50-year-old retail worker from Cheshire in northwestern England, said the queen “meant so much for everybody.” “It’s a very sad day, but it’s our last opportunity to do our duty for the queen and it’s our first opportunity to do it for the king, and that makes us all very proud,” said Maj. Gen. Christopher Ghika, of the Household division, who is responsible for organizing the ceremonial aspects of the queen’s funeral.
Troops involved in the procession have been preparing since the queen died. So have the horses of the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery. Crowds have lined the route of the queen's coffin whenever it has been moved in its long journey from Scotland back to London.
