London without the Queen is like Paddington without Marmalade - one doesn’t feel right without the other.
There is visible shock and sadness among people as they try to navigate the capital without Her Majesty. For the majority of them, it is unknown territory. They do not know a life without her.
From the moment you step off the Tube, the immense love for Queen Elizabeth II is clear to see. Her picture appears in the windows of shops and cafes and a large screen on the riverside near BFI Southbank Cinema is rolling footage of her.
