Public tributes at British embassy in Washington

 


In Washington DC, the British embassy has opened its doors to allow members of the public to pay their respects to Queen Elizabeth II. Within the first hour around two dozen people had signed the condolence books set out on tables inside the embassy – exactly where President Biden left his heartfelt message yesterday. Outside, more than a hundred bunches of flowers have been laid around a large coloured stone depiction of the Union flag. One message read: “Your Majesty Queen Elizabeth, you’ll be greatly missed. Thank you for your strength, devotion and service to your country. We love you!!”
