LA FAMILIA REAL RECORRE LONDRES JUNTO AL CORTEJO FÚNEBRE DE LA REINA

El ataúd de la soberana ha salido del Palacio de Buckingham hacia Westminster Hall, donde ha quedado instalada la capilla para que sea visitada por el público.

Junto al carruaje que porta el féretro está el primer Batallón de Guardias de Granaderos. Y no podían faltar los miembros de la Familia Real Británica.

Tras el féretro caminaba el Rey Charles III, a su lado la Princesa Anne y los Príncipes Andrew y Edward. Tras ellos, el Príncipe William y su hermano el Príncipe Harry, a lado de ellos, Peter Phillips, después el vicealmirante Sir Tim Laurence, el Duque de Gloucester y el Conde de Snowdon.

Tras ellos, en dos coches diferentes la Reina Consorte Camilla junto a la Princesa de Wales y la Princesa Eleanor; y la Duquesa de Sussex con la Condesa de Wessex, todas de riguroso luto. Una emotiva y solemne procesión que ha sido escoltada por un destacamento de artillería a caballo de la Guardia del Rey que ha partido de Buckingham, el que fuera durante décadas hogar de la monarca, para seguir por Queen's Gardens, The Mall, Horse Guards Parade y Horse Guards Aeche, Whitehall, Parliament Street, Parliament Square y Neve Palace Yard hasta Westminister Hall.

Ya en el interior, los restos mortales han sido recibidos por un grupo de portadores de la Compañía de la Reina. Acto seguido se han colocado sobre un catafalco ante la atenta mirada del Rey y de resto de miembros de su familia. Ha sido entonces cuando se han unido al séquito fúnebre la Reina Consorte, la Princesa de Wales, la Princesa Eleanor, la Duquesa de Sussex y la Condesa de Wessex, así como los primos de la Reina, el Príncipe Michael de Kent y el Duque de Kent. Las Princesas Beatrice y Eugenie, junto a sus esposos, Zara y Mike Tindall, Lady Louis Windsor y James, Vizconde Severn - los nietos más pequeños - Lord Frederick Windsor y la Princesa Michael de Kent han estado presentes en la ceremonia.

El lunes tendrá lugar el funeral de Estado en la cercana Abadía de Westminister. A esta ceremonia se espera que acudan jefes de Estado y de Gobierno, así como representantes de Casas Reales de todo el mundo.
