In many store windows in Oxford and in chapels of the Oxford colleges and other churches there are tributes like these to the beloved Queen Elizabeth II.
On Wednesday afternoon we watched the processional from Buckingham Palace to the Westminster Hall from our apartment in Oxford. Many businesses are short staffed this day so we are enjoying food in our apartment. We overdid it on Tuesday so we scaled back on our activities and stayed in to watch.
Lying in State now as her people file past to honor her.

…she had a lovely smile.
How nice that you are there. Thank you, Ellenxo
Such a historic time for a visit!
Hope you’re able to rest up for the next part of your adventure . . .
Who knew we’d have our own reporter on the ground 😉 I’m so pleased to hear about so many honoring a remarkable woman.
I’m watching on line, too. She was an inspiration to many, and I am moved by the pageantry and ceremony.
Lovely post. She will be missed. I started following the Royal Family back when Princess Diane became part of the picture.
She certainly was one of a kind. The very best kind I think. She will certainly be missed.
Nice post, Ellen. She was a remarkable woman. Through all the family drama she never lost her dignity. I admire that! xo
Such a historic time for you to be there. Glad you could enjoy a day relaxing and watching. She was a gracious Queen.
