LONDON (AP) – Queen Elizabeth II donated a face mask to the public for the first time during the coronavirus epidemic last week at a brief ceremony marking the centenary of the death of an unidentified warrior at Westminster Abbey.
While the 94-year-old king has been seen in public several times over the past few months, he has not yet been covered.
On Wednesday, during her first public participation in London since March, she wore a black mask with a white edge. Pictures of the ceremony were officially released late Saturday evening.
The dean of Westminster, Dr. David Hole said after the service, “It was great to see his glory in such good health and good health.” We talked about the life of Shatabdi and Abdi. This is where he was married and he is aware of that relationship. ”
The brief service consisted only of the Dean and Queen’s instrument, Lieutenant Colonel Nana Kofi Tumsi-figure. The Queen left a bouquet of Orchids and Myrtle, based on her wedding bouquet from November 1947. He bowed his head after the dean’s prayer.
The queen requested a ceremony as the epidemic unleashed the centenary plans of an unknown warrior.
The tomb is the final resting place of an unknown British soldier who died during World War I. His body was brought back from northern France and was buried on November 11, 1920 at Westminster Abbey.
The ceremony took place a day before the four-week lockout in England. In addition to forcing businesses to close, places of worship have to operate within limits.
Legally face cover is required in certain interior settings such as public transport, shops and places of worship. The British government also recommends that they be worn in indoor areas where social distance can be difficult and where people come in contact with them whom they do not normally meet.
During the epidemic, other members of the royal family were seen regularly wearing facial ingots. Last month, the queen was criticized for not wearing one when she and her grandson, Prince William, visited the Defense Science and Technology Laboratory in Port Down, in the south of England.
During her rare visit to London, the Queen took the opportunity to visit Buckingham Palace, her official residence in the capital.
Before the UK was completely locked out on 23 March, the Queen and her 99-year-old husband, Prince Philip, moved to Windsor Castle, about 25 miles (40 kilometers) west of London.
