QUEEN'S PROCESSION, ETC.

 

We watched teh YA devotional by Elder and Sister Renlund for FHE Monday. There was taco soup and games afterward.

I went to a Stake Relief Society activity Saturday that was pretty good. I went to one last year, but we were still wearing masks, and not as many people came. This is a cupcake decorating contest.

This is speed-friending where you get to know pwople pretty fast.

We saw and heard the cannons being shot off in the Queen's honor.

We decided to brave the crowds on the Royal Mile, where the procession with the Queen's body was happening Monday. We couldn't stay for the procession part of it, and we almost got trapped in the crowd when they quit letting anyone leave, but we were able to sneak past a guard and leave. We didn't take the pictures of the actual procession, just the ones of the crowds.

I didn't take these photos of the actual procession. It started at the Holyrood Palace, at the bottom of the Royal mile, and went up to St. Gile's Cathedral, which is near the top of it. Her body laid in state there for 24 hours so the public could pay their respects.

We went to the Royal Mile again Thursday for part of our 43rd anniversary celebration.
