    From the glorious spectacle of a sovereign’s funeral, unseen for seven decades and never to be replicated on this scale again, Queen Elizabeth II made her final journey to rest with the husband she adored.  A solemn ritual, magnificent ceremony but most of all the outpouring of love, devotion and respect that her people wanted…
