Royal Pomp and Goose Bumps
Go-Go Girl Started conversation Apr 9, 2002
Just returned from watching the Queen Mother's hearse pass by Hyde Park Corner. The silence in the centre of London was deafening, broken only by the drone of the World War II planes that flew over.
Despite the crowds, and with the traffic at a standstill, you could have heard a pin drop. Then the Cavalry trumpets heralded the arrival of the funeral cortege,as the Royal cars passed by on their way to Windsor, a quick glimpse of the Queen Mother's coffin, draped in her brightly coloured standard, and then...well, even the most blase Londoners get goose pimples.
