A King’s grief: Emotional Charles is watched by concerned Princess Anne as they walk behind their mother’s coffin at state funeral for the Queen – and new monarch appears to wipe away a tear as she is laid to rest

 

King Charles III was visibly emotional and appeared to wipe away a tear as he made his way inside Westminster Abbey alongside a concerned Princess Anne for the Queen‘s state funeral.

Charles, dressed in military uniform, was teary-eyed as he mournfully watched his mother’s coffin carried into the church for the poignant service.

The Princess Royal glanced at her brother with a worried expression as he stared towards the floor visibly sombre before making his way inside.

The King had moments earlier led the Royal Family in closely following the Queen’s oak coffin as she was placed onto a gun carriage used by her parents before moving through Parliament Square.

Charles was followed by his sons the Prince of Wales and Duke of Sussex, while his brother Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, appeared to be crying.

Inside the abbey, the King sat at the head of the family alongside the Queen Consort Camilla, Princess Anne and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence.

Charles also looked emotional during the singing of the national anthem inside the abbey, remaining silent throughout the song while his siblings joined mourners in voice.

He gripped his ceremonial sword and looked downcast as the sound of hymns and prayers filled the historic abbey.

most important church, including leaders from around the world, to pay their final respects.

Despite the huge crowds and enormity of the service, silence had earlier fallen as hundreds of pipers and drummers from Regiments, the Brigade of Gurkhas and RAF played as the procession made its way towards Westminster Abbey through Parliament Square.

The Queen’s coffin, draped in the Royal Standard flag, was carefully carried inside before it was placed close to the altar with her crown, orb and sceptre on its top.

A card in the flowers on top of the coffin read simply: ‘In loving and devoted memory. Charles R.’

Charles and Camilla walked immediately behind the Queen’s coffin, followed by Princess Anne and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex.

Also in the party were William and Kate, while George and Charlotte walked with their parents side-by-side in formation, followed by their uncle and aunt Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and other royal family members.

The King wore the Royal Navy No 1 tailcoat with sword, the collar of the Order of the Garter, Order of the Thistle Sash, Order of Merit neck order, Garter Star and Thistle Star.

He also wore full-size medals including the Queen’s Service Order, Coronation Medal, Silver Jubilee Medal, Golden Jubilee Medal, Diamond Jubilee Medal, Platinum Jubilee Medal and a Naval Long Service Good Conduct.

Other medals included Canadian Forces Decoration, The New Zealand Commemorative Medal, and The New Zealand Armed Forces Award.

The wreath which adorned the Queen’s coffin included flowers requested by King Charles.

Cut from the gardens of Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Highgrove House, the flowers and foliage were chosen for their symbolism.

In his sermon at the state funeral of the Queen, the Archbishop of Canterbury has told mourners the ‘grief’ felt around the world over her death ‘arises from her abundant life and loving service’, adding: ‘She was joyful, present to so many, touching a multitude of lives.’

The Most Rev Justin Welby said: ‘People of loving service are rare in any walk of life. Leaders of loving service are still rarer.

‘But in all cases those who serve will be loved and remembered when those who cling to power and privileges are forgotten.

‘The grief of this day – felt not only by the late Queen’s family but all round the nation, Commonwealth and world – arises from her abundant life and loving service, now gone from us.’

He added: ‘We will all face the merciful judgement of God: we can all share the Queen’s hope which in life and death inspired her servant leadership. Service in life, hope in death.

‘All who follow the Queen’s example, and inspiration of trust and faith in God, can with her say: ‘We will meet again.”

I saved a tigress that was hanging from a cliff and barely holding on but what happened next changed my life forever 😱 I saved a tigress that was hanging from a cliff and barely holding on, but what happened next changed my life forever. 😵 I was walking along a forgotten trail, one that even the locals never approach. The rain was hitting my face like icy needles. I wanted to get down from the ridge before the storm, but suddenly — a sound. Not a human scream… nor an animal’s roar. It was more like a cry for help. I froze and listened. Again — a muffled, tearing roar filled with pain and fear. I carefully approached the edge, grabbed onto the trunk of a tree, looked down… and froze in place. Between slippery rocks and wet roots, a tigress was trapped. Huge, injured, with dark and red streaks in her fur. Her claws scraped against the stone, but she no longer had the strength to pull herself free. And yet — no growling, no attempt to attack. She just looked at me. Not like a wild predator… but in another way. I took off my backpack, pulled out a rope and harness. I knew I was risking everything: the rock was crumbling, and down there was a predator. But leaving her there would mean certain death. I secured the rope, climbed down, and gently put the harness on her. She didn’t move a muscle. A few minutes later, we were both up top. I was about to step away… but what happened next was a shock I will never forget. Continued in the first comment 👇👇 I saved a tigress that was hanging from a cliff and barely holding on but what happened next changed my life forever Once we reached flat ground, the tigress did something I never expected. Instead of running into the forest, she stayed there, breathing heavily, staring straight into my eyes. Her amber eyes seemed to want to say something. I was about to take a step back when suddenly three men in camouflage emerged from the bushes. They were holding rifles. One of them squinted and said: — There’s our prize. Thanks, buddy, for getting her out. I saved a tigress that was hanging from a cliff and barely holding on but what happened next changed my life forever I understood immediately: poachers. They had been waiting for the tigress to weaken so they could kill her. I stepped between them and the animal, even though my heart was pounding so hard it roared in my ears. — Step back, — I ordered, trying to sound confident. — This tigress is protected by law. They exchanged glances and smiled. One lifted his rifle, but at that moment the tigress roared so loudly that the ground shook. To my surprise, she didn’t leap at me, but at the poachers. They stumbled back, unable to fire. The animal sprinted into the forest and vanished into the mist. I saved a tigress that was hanging from a cliff and barely holding on but what happened next changed my life forever I stood there, trying to catch my breath. The men cursed, but didn’t come closer — either out of fear or because they knew it was over. Since that day, I often returned to that trail. And one day, a few months later, through the mist, I felt that same gaze on me again. On a rock about twenty meters away stood the same tigress. Alive. Free. And in her eyes, I read something that looked like… gratitude.
