On September 19, Queen Elizabeth II of England was buried in the Memorial Church of King George VI in St. George's Church, Windsor Castle, and was buried with her mother, Queen Elizabeth Queen , father, George VI and husband, Prince Philip, . It is worth noting that in addition to the words George VI (1895-1952), Elizabeth (1900-2002), Elizabeth II (1926-2022) and Philip (1921-2021), there is also a very eye-catching Garter Medal in the middle, which is also the highest respect for these four royal members.
At 10 am on September 29, Windsor Castle and St. George's Church reopened to the public for the first time after the Queen's death. In order to see the Queen's tombstone, tourists lined up outside Windsor Castle. According to the British media "LADBible", on the first day of the Queen's resting place, hundreds of tourists rushed to Windsor Castle early in the morning and patiently waited for that exciting moment.
Grace Gogharg and 65-year-old Anne Daley were the first tourists to visit the Queen's sleep, and they lined up from 7:30 in the morning, so they were in the front.
Ms. Daley from Cardiff and Ms. Gogager from Garner both live in London and are excited when they see the Queen's tombstone.
Ms. Daly sighed in an interview, "The castle is empty and it feels gloomy. No one lives in it, you lose the queen, the duke, the corgi. It's like you sell the house, all history disappears."
Ms. Daly also revealed that her father, who served in the Irish Guard, had attended the queen's coronation ceremony, so when she was a little girl, she was very interested in the royal family.
Ms. Gao Jiager said that she was from the Commonwealth and knew the Queen before she came to the UK, adding: "As the head of the Commonwealth, she did a good job. She is a good woman and a good mother. Everyone likes her very much."
In July 2021, the two ladies met and became friends at the unveiling ceremony of the Wales Princess Diana statue outside Kensington Palace. The two were also the first people to enter Westminster Hall to pay homage to the queen's coffin.
Darren Martin, a 43-year-old man from Melbourne, Australia, is the second group to enter Windsor Castle. To send the Queen a trip, Mr. Martin made a special trip to England two weeks ago. He drove all the way to Balmoral, Holyrood Palace and Sandringham Palace, and then spent a short vacation in Sussex and Cornwall .
Mr. Martin told the Metro, "Fortunately, I arrived in time and camped before the funeral. Today is the last time I said goodbye to the queen before I went home."
In fact, as early as 2013, Mr. Martin brought his two 85-year-old grandparents to the UK, when they visited many royal ruins.
The man explained, "I admire everything the queen did and everything she represents. My grandparents also like the (British) royal family."
Mr. Martin also said that he came to the UK in person with enough courage. The feeling was very profound and strong. This feeling was completely different from just sitting at home watching TV.
Let’s go back to the story, in addition to St. George’s Church, Windsor Castle, there are also the National Apartment, the Guards’ Change Ceremony and the Queen Mary’s Doll House. However, its fees have stopped many people and even caused considerable controversy on social media.
It is reported that St. George's Church is only open to worshippers on Sunday, and any other day is open to tourists, while adult tickets are 28.50 pounds (about 225 yuan) on Saturday, and the rest of the days are 26.50 pounds (about 209 yuan).
But some people are very angry at the cost of visiting the Queen's resting place, and they criticize it as "taking advantage".
Some people also said that although he likes and respects the queen, the price of tickets is really unreasonable; some people accused the royal family of "cheating people".
