The day the nation stood still for Queen Elizabeth II's funeral
Margaret's mind was on 1953, when she had been taken to watch the Queen's coronation at her nan's house and later to a street party. "She's like our grandmother, she's always been there," Margaret said, visibly emotional.
Meanwhile, in Manchester's Cathedral Gardens, rain was falling. Rebecca Watson, 38, thought of those who had filed through the streets of London over the weekend to witness the Queen's lying-in-state and resolved to stay where she was. "If people have been in a queue for 14 hours I think we can cope with this," she said.
Ahead of the two minutes' silence, everyone in the Royal British Legion, in Oldmeldrum, Aberdeenshire, stood, bowed their heads, and sang along to the national anthem. On The Mall, many spectators had watched the service on their phones. As the Queen's coffin made its way towards them, spectators stood on tiptoes, with children lifted on to shoulders, as the crowd collectively craned its necks for a final glimpse.The Queen's coffin began making its way to Windsor.
