“Show me the manner in which a nation cares for its dead and I will measure with mathematical exactness the tender mercies of its people, their respect for the laws of the land, and their loyalty to high ideals.”
— Sir William Ewart Gladstone, prime minister of Great Britain from 1868-1894 under the reign of Queen Victoria
What an incredible ceremony honoring the life of Queen Elizabeth II today.
