In Bermuda, where flags are being flown half-staff until further notice, they remembered Queen Elizabeth II with a 21-gun salute while dressed in British ceremonial uniforms. In the Cayman Islands, 96 rounds reverberated from Government House, one every 10 seconds, to match the queen’s age at the time of her death Thursday at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
And in The Bahamas, where they continue to pledge loyalty to her 49 years after ending nearly 200 years of British rule, the prime minister’s title officially changed from Queen’s Counsel to King’s Counsel.
As the United Kingdom entered a prolonged period of mourning Thursday over the passing of Queen Elizabeth and welcomed a new monarch, King Charles III, the death of Britain’s oldest and longest-serving monarch continued to reverberate in and out of the realm.
