Rest in peace your majesty

Queen Elizabeth II.

Your life was given to the people. 

Rest now with family and husband

as we mourn your death.

King Charles the Third

takes your place

giving Britain a face

for all to look forward to.

A new era has begun.

A time of great change.

A time of grief.

A time of history taking

place.

In honor of your greatness,

you will never be forgotten

Queen Elizabeth II.

Now, we say

'God save the King'.

King Charles III

now proclaimed

our new King.

A day to be remembered

in history and

a time to mourn.
