The images of this past week will be seared in our national psyche.
Rich in colour, solemn in tone, suffused with emotion: the first glimpse of our late Queen’s coffin, the tears of her children and grandchildren, the bowed heads of soldiers, the warmth of the cheers for the new King.
We are living through a period of history in which a well established and familiar era has suddenly ended. Yet the transition to the new one is ordered and smooth.
