The logistics of Operation London Bridge, the formal plans drawn up to deal with the death of the head of state, provided for the eventuality that she would die at Balmoral, which has long been one of her favourite places.
Operation Unicorn, the codename for the plans in Scotland, leaked some time ago and indicated it is likely her coffin will temporarily rest at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, having been taken there by road two days after her death.

On CNN I have seen a live coverage of the line of cars accompanying the hearse that is carrying Queen Elizabeth now from Balmoral to Edinburgh. They were crossing Aberdeenshire while I was watching.

And I was touched and moved following the cortege with my eyes on its way accross Scotland.

It then travelled south to Dundee, arriving about 11.20pm.
After driving through Dundee's north, where the public stood along the Kingsway road to pay their respects, the cortege finally arrived in Edinburgh at 1.30am.

I have a question for all of you:
We here are interested in these funeral ceremonies.
Now lots of people are not interested - or even oppose strongly, and find hard words for these ceremonies.

What do you tell them?
How do you explain your interest and your feelings?

This question I have now posted there:

https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/rip-...042079/page-136

a line from Goethe comes to mind: "Wenn ihr's nicht fühlt, ihr werdet's nicht erjagen."
Literally: "If you cannot feel it, you will not catch it."


Meaning: Either you feel it or you do not feel it.
And if you do not feel it in your heart, you will not be able to force your brain to understand it.
