The beloved Queen of England, Elizabeth II, was buried in the family tomb at Windsor a week ago. This marked the end of an extraordinary period of national mourning for the people of the United Kingdom and all members of the Commonwealth. Even members of former colonies took time to recall this longest serving regent in Great Britain's long history.
The Mayor was in Edinburgh, Scotland when her death at Balmoral was announced. That she was in Scotland was coincidental to her annual stay at the family's estate there where Elizabeth had spent countless summers during her lifetime. She enjoyed the environment, the peace and quiet, and the comfort of surroundings most familiar to her. She had a final act to pass the Prime Ministry to the latest official, Liz Truss.
