NEW: Ottawa-area woman grateful to mourn Queen in London ottnews
Instead, a brief trip to Cambridge has become a chance to stand beside thousands of others along Whitehall Mall in London, as the Queen makes her final journey from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall.
Monday, Haine had a front row seat to the monumental time in British history; taking in Buckingham Palace where the wait to mourn at the gates of the palace stretched for hours and the Royal grounds were awash in bouquets. Mourners from around the globe are descending on the English capital in the lead up to the state funeral on Monday. "It’s quite surreal to be honest, as soon as I walked into the area, it just hit me," Davis said.
"I’m looking forward to having a chance to pay my respects to the Queen - in a way, by seeing her coffin go past - I’m looking forward to seeing the new King, that’s going to be something special too," she said.
