We met Poles at mourning ceremonies. Here’s what we heard from them. “Shock and disbelief” [WIDEO]
Death of Queen Elizabeth II. Elena Zelenskaya is located in the UK.
The coffin was on display at Westminster Hall, and a book of condolences was posted at the British Foreign Office’s Lancaster House.
All world leaders invited to the funeral of Elizabeth II were able to pay their respects and enter the book of memory. The wife of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, for obvious reasons, came to the UK without her husband and herself paid tribute to the memory of the late Queen.
Elena Zelenskaya also met Princess Kate at Buckingham Palace. Photos from the meeting and their conversations by the fireplace spread around the world media. It can be seen that the Ukrainian first lady was clearly moved.
“The presence of Elena Zelenskaya is another sign of global support for Ukraine while Russia is in isolation,” said a source quoted by the British newspaper The Sun on Sept. 16, when it became known that Zelenskaya would appear at the funeral of the queen. “The UK is one of Ukraine’s most devoted allies. The visit of the first lady to the funeral is an expression of friendship and mutual respect,” he added.
Recall that Russian leader Vladimir Putin was not invited to the funeral.
We know why King Charles III especially loves Poland and the Poles. Amazing expert opinion. Everything changed a few months ago
Funeral of Elizabeth II. King Charles III thanks you for your support
Tribute at the coffin of Elizabeth II in Westminster Hall on Sunday, September 18, was also given, including US President Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden. The American president said that Elizabeth II personified “dignity and service.” “The world is a better place because of her,” Joe Biden said.
The day before the funeral of Elizabeth II, King Charles III of Great Britain thanked everyone who provided support after the death of his mother.
“Over the past ten days, my wife and I have been so deeply moved by the many condolences and support we have received from this country and around the world. In London, Edinburgh, Hillsborough and Cardiff, we have been touched beyond measure by all those who made the effort to come and pay tribute to the lifelong service of my dear mother, the late Queen,” the King wrote in a statement.
“I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to all the countless people who have been such a support and comfort to my family and me during this time of mourning,” he added.
