The Queen will finally be laid to rest tomorrow after a royal funeral which will signal an end to 10 days of national mourning.
While there has been an outpouring of grief for the late Monarch, the period has also been in large part a celebration of the British constitution and appointment of King Charles III.
It has felt like someone pressed pause on reality and allowed the country to be transported back to a halcyon age when Britannia ruled the waves and the UK was an unparalleled, universally revered economic powerhouse. If those days ever did exist, they couldn’t be further from the bleak present truth Tuesday will bring.
