According to a report from The Sun on November 8, the Queen of England put on a mask in public for the first time recently. This is her visit to the graveyard of the unknown soldier to pay tribute to the 100th anniversary of the burial of the unknown soldier.
This "grave sweep" commemoration is also the first time Queen Elizabeth has returned to London since March. This time she returned to London to participate in the martyrs commemoration held in Westminster Abbey.
Westminster Abbey was the church where Queen Elizabeth was married. The centennial commemoration ceremony of the Unknown Soldier was held here. The Queen's black suit and black mask undoubtedly demonstrated the importance of this ceremony. Queen
held a wedding in the same church in November 1947, a place with deep personal emotions. Today, in order to pay tribute to the symbolic soldiers, the queen left the same flowers as the bridal bouquet on the day of her wedding in the final resting place of the unknown soldier. The tribute to the unknown soldier
has always been rooted in the history of the royal family.
On the armistice day in 1920, the remains of this unknown soldier were transported from the French battlefield to London. As the representative of all soldiers fighting for Britain, the monument was unveiled by the then King George V.
George V laid a wreath on the coffin and accompanied the coffin to Westminster Abbey. Before he was buried, he sprinkled a handful of French soil on the coffin. The queen's father, George VI, was also there.
In 1923, Queen Elizabeth's mother, Queen Elizabeth, presented her wedding bouquet to the soldier's tomb in memory of her younger brother Fergus who died in the Battle of Luce in 1915. This move by
started a tradition that many royal brides would confine the bouquet to the tomb of the unknown soldier after the wedding.
A royal person said: "The tomb of this unknown soldier is as significant as when Her Majesty's grandfather and father stood by the monastery 100 years ago. The Queen very much hopes that the centennial commemoration will be properly commemorated. A simple and personal move that reflects the tradition her mother started 97 years ago. "
In the past few months, members of the royal family from Prince Charles, Prince William to Princess Kate have appeared at official events wearing masks. In, now the queen has also put on a mask in public for the first time.
