Queen Elizabeth II died at Balmoral, which I now learn, is in far northern Scotland. Her last journey will take her through Edinburgh, where her body will lie in state at St. Giles Cathedral.
At the cathedral a temporary sign has been posted which reads: "St. Giles will be closed for the foreseeable . . .
I remember the December 1947 day when Elizabeth and Phillip married. In Southern California, thousands of miles from London, my mother and I crouched over the Hallicrafter radio, so as to not miss a single word. We thought it quite amazing.
In a few days the entire world will be able to view the funeral by video.
