British state funeral ceremony
On the morning of September 19, 2022, the state funeral ceremony of "Queen of the Century" Elizabeth II was officially held in Westminster Abbey, London. This is the second time that the UK has held a high-standard state funeral after nearly 60 years since the death of former British Prime Minister Churchill in 1965.
Elizabeth II is the longest-reigning head of state in the world today and the oldest-age head of state. Here Elizabeth II also swore to dedicate his "short or long" life to the British people. Ultimately, her reign did “as long as most British people remember”.
After a long period of running-in, the British finally completely accepted the queen and regarded her as the "grandmother" of this country and as a friend who accompanied everyone to experience the ups and downs of the times. The long years brought the queen to the British an unprecedented "sense of the times". The state funeral begins, and the queen's coffin will be transported to Westminster Abbey by a 123-year-old cannon truck, led by 98 Royal Navy sailors, a tradition that can be traced back to the funeral of Queen Victoria . The service will begin at 11 a.m. and is presided over by Mr. Westminster.

The history of Windsor Castle
Military Fortress
Tunnels in Windsor Castle
In different historical periods, the ancient Windsor Castle has different uses and architectural styles.
In the early days, Windsor Castle was an important military facility. In 1070, William I established a fortress on Windsor's steep chalk cliffs. On this commanding height, you can easily see a few miles away to see if there is any enemy invasion.
Some traces of war can be seen in the secret passage hidden behind the carpet in the castle. The mottled secret passage of stone steps seemed to reveal the information about the secret army's assault back then. In addition to being a military fortress, Windsor Castle is also a gathering place for royal families and knights.
Knights House
1327 Edward III inherited the throne, and then he turned the place where he was born, Windsor Castle, into the British Knights House.
St. George's Church in Windsor Castle is the spiritual home of the Knights of Garter. There are bloodshed and sacrifices when there is war. Windsor Castle has also become a bloody battlefield due to the fall of the royal family.
1640, a fierce civil war broke out in Britain, King Charles I was pushed to the guillotine, and the royal regime was subverted. The king was buried in Windsor Castle, the royal property was confiscated, many treasures were sold at will, and even Windsor Castle almost became the target of auction.
Fortunately, Charles II, the son of King Charles I, was unwilling to accept the decline of the royal family. In order to revive the royal status, he renovated Windsor Castle in Baroque style after he succeeded to the throne in 1660.
The entire interior is luxuriously decorated, but it is not lacking in humanity and warmth. In terms of collection, he collected paintings such as , Leonardo da Vinci, and , and displayed here.
Windsor Castle is the "home" of the British royal family
Windsor Castle has enhanced its residence function, and the royal family has an additional sense of belonging to "home". But in the hundred years after the death of Charles II, with the decline of the royal family, the status of Windsor Castle also deteriorated. The subsequent monarchs also left Windsor Castle and chose to administer or live in other places.
Windsor Castle reemerged after the royal family decided to move back to the castle to live. In 1776, George III decided to return to Windsor Castle.His son George IV has continued the current architectural appearance of Windsor Castle to this day.
1824, George IV made a major gothic transformation of Windsor Castle. He added guardrails to the wall, added staggered patterns to the regular and single wall, and built the arc-shaped doors and windows into arrow-shaped arrows with tips, and added water drop beasts of various shapes outside the wall.
"From then on, the beautiful princess and the handsome prince lived a happy and happy life in the castle." This sentence is the standard ending of a fairy tale, and a love story of "not loving the country and loving the beauty" was also staged in Windsor Castle.
Edward VIII and Mrs. Simpson
In 1936, shortly after Edward VIII ascended the throne, he proposed to Mrs. Simpson, an American civilian who had divorced twice in Windsor Castle. He resolutely gave up the crown for love, and he handed over the king of Daying and demoted from a country to Duke of Windsor .
After marriage, he moved into Windsor Castle, later left the British Isles, and settled in France. It was not until 1972 that his coffin returned to Windsor Castle.
The love between Elizabeth II and Windsor Castle

Finally, Cromwell's head was nailed to a 20-foot-long flagpole, erected on the roof of Westminster Palace, so that all Londoners could see it.
The long metal nail hit his head because it used too much force to penetrate the top of the skull, and the nails and skulls were no longer separated.
