Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was today laid to rest at Windsor Castle following a moving state funeral at Westminster Abbey. The second Elizabethan age has now formally ended.
When it comes to putting on a ceremony to mark such a momentous occasion the British do it as well as anyone and better than most. It's great to be part of such an occasion which unites people, which is something that the Queen has done throughout her life.
There are a few detractors of the Royal Family in the UK but over the past 11 days they have been largely silenced as the nation paid its respect to a dignified, respected and much loved monarch.

All Chuches, like this one near my home, have had their flags flying at half mast since the Queens death and it has been fascinating speaking with people about their personnel memories of Her Majesty. Books of Condolence have been laid out up and down the nation for people to write their own messages in.
In a world which is often polarised and divided by differences, it has been wonderful to have an event which has been unifying, regardless of ones politics, religion, race, beliefs or anything else.
I thought it was great to see so many world leaders and noteworthy people from all sorts of different places and backgrounds at her funeral. A friend of mine has a son in the Metropolitan Police, by far the biggest police force in the UK. It's been a logistical nightmare for them with huge crowds and hundreds of foreign dignitaries and heads of state all coming to London at the same time.
It will be interesting to see how king Charles now takes the mantle from his mother, it's a tough act to follow!
On a personal note I am saddened at the death of the Queen, I swore allegiance to her when I joined the British Army in 1985 and she is the only sovereign I have ever known. She was a wonderful ambassador around the world for Britain and a great role model for anyone in any form of service. Her sense of duty was inspirational.
Rest In Peace Your Majesty. Long Live The King.
