STILL shell-shocked from the news of
the Queen’s death, the Royal Family and
the nation embarked on the first day of
mourning yesterday.
Across the land, schoolchildren and workers
paused to honour Her Majesty, and thou-
sands gathered to lay flowers.
Electronic advertising hoardings switched to
show faces of the monarch and the capital cities of
the UK echoed with the boom of gun salutes. And
as the nation began to come to terms with the
saddest of news, the grieving royals began the
process of saying their own farewells as the King’s
reign took hold.
PUBLIC TRIBUTES
EVEN before dawn yesterday, crowds began gath-
ering at the Queen’s principal residences. Windsor
Castle, her primary home in latter years, was a
place of mournful silence as well-wishers laid
flowers and reflected on her life.
As the day wore on, thousands of the curious
and the sad made the pilgrimage to the gates of
the castle. Children too young to understand the
enormity of the events were among those
in tears.
Sarah Minch had brought her son Johnny, five,
to lay flowers. Attached was a card with Padding-
ton Bear on the front.
She said: ‘We loved the sketch she did with Pad-
dington for the Platinum Jubilee, and hopefully
that is something my son will remember watching.
It’s those shared moments that can be so impor-
tant. It’s desperately sad and I wanted to bring
him here to pay our respects.’
Alice, eight, came with her mother to lay down
bright pink roses and a hand-drawn picture of
Queen Elizabeth wearing a crown and standing
underneath a rainbow. A couple from nearby
Bracknell, Angela and Gareth Jenkins, brought
hand-picked flowers from their own garden.
She said: ‘We’ve been very saddened by the news.
We drove over this morning to leave these flowers,
just to pay our respects to Her Majesty and
acknowledge our gratitude for her service really.’

TRIBUTES IN LONDON
AS the King flew south, MPs in the House of
Commons were offering eulogies to his late
mother. The chamber was a sea of black.
At 12.49pm, backbench MP Boris Johnson –
only three days after his own trip to Balmoral
to resign as prime minister – gave a beautiful
and heartfelt tribute, dubbing her ‘Elizabeth
the Great’.
He told the Commons: ‘She showed the
world not just how to reign over a people, she
showed the world how to give, how to love and
how to serve.’
‘On Tuesday, she saw off her 14th Prime Min-
ster and welcomed her 15th – and I can tell
you, in that audience, she was as radiant, and
as knowledgeable, and as fascinated by poli-
tics as ever. I think she became the greatest
statesman and diplomat of all.’
Outside in Hyde Park, there was a proces-
sion of 71 horses from The King’s Troop Royal
Horse Artillery, of which 36 pulled First World
War-era 13-pounder field guns into position.
Similar guns were being wheeled into place
at the Tower of London by the Honourable
Artillery Company – and by other Armed Forces
personnel in Edinburgh, Cardiff, Belfast, Ply-
mouth, York, Stonehenge and Portsmouth,
and overseas in Gibraltar and Jersey.

HE wasn’t born to be a queen, yet she will be one.
She had no desire for a crown, yet she will now wear
one. She felt no need for a life embroidered with
titles yet, she is now Her Majesty, with all the pomp
and pageantry that involves.
The journey that has taken the former Mrs Camilla Parker Bowles from
mistress to Queen Consort at the side of King Charles has been both
remarkable and, at times, brutal. It has meant acquiring a resilience and
a sense of purpose that few believed she could possess.
Along the way, since her marriage to the Prince of Wales in 2005, she
has managed to display a bold and imaginative jauntiness that has been
warm, well-received and unthreatening.
Now comes an even bigger test. As wife to the monarch where her
words and deeds will receive even greater attention, these
accomplishments will be ever more necessary. But to be a success in this
role she will need more.
So how will she approach this daunting new stage in her life, and is she,
at the relatively advanced age of
75, equipped for all that it entails?
Those who know her best, her
family, are confident that she is.
One key attribute, they say, is that
she brims with common sense — a
quality that is sadly in short supply
in the current Royal Family.
They also point to her unfussy
ordinariness. Indeed that very
ordinariness may turn out to be

that began the change in the nature of
this uniquely troubled relationship
between a Queen and her heir.

As time passed and the Queen was

even as Prince Philip, then in his 90s,

perceived as too needy, vulnerable,

of a new light.
He was gradually taking over many of
her responsibilities, and doing so with
confidence and even a little panache.
This new mutual respect led rapidly

perceived Charles’s household to be
committed solely to polishing his own
image at the expense of other Royal
Family members. What ended the
rivalry was Charles effectively becoming

Delevingne, now 30, has seen her earnings

But I can reveal that some of those with

business, Cara & Co, should suffer a sudden

Her bankers, HSBC, registered a charge
against the company in April this year —
despite the fact that it has assets
of £41.4 million.
‘It’s unexpected for a company with that
much money in it to have charges of this
kind against it,’ my financial mole tells me.
‘It’s very unlikely to go bust, but if you have
a secured charge you become the first one in
the queue to be repaid what you’re owed.’

For 45 desperate minutes, paramedics
battled to save him.
The medical team could be heard counting

safe any more and no neighbourhood is
