Queen Elizabeth II (born Princess Elizabeth of York), 96, the mother of the United Kingdom’s King Charles III, died September 8, 2022 at Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, a residence of the British royal family
Her televised State Funeral September 19 at Westminster Abbey in London, watched by an estimated 4 billion people, was attended by heads of state and dignitaries from around the world, including US President Joe Biden.

Yes, that one is so significant, and I hope non-believers watching took heed!
I was so glad to see that both the Westminster and Windsor services were so Christ-centered!!!!
I doubt that these Bible passages had any effect on Biden. He worships at the alter of mammon.
Interesting tangent:
Queen Elizabeth II never visited Israel, no doubt due to the UK Foreign Office, not due to her slighting Israel.
The paternal grandmother (born in Windsor Castle and died in Buckingham Palace) of King Charles III is permanently interred in Jerusalem’s Church of Mary Magdalene on the Mount of Olives. This area is claimed as part of a proposed capital for a ‘Palestinian’ state.
Will King Charles III dare to visit a Christian shrine in Palestine? Will the UK Foreign Office allow him? Will the Palestinian Authority allow him?
Prince Phillip visited it in the 1990s I believe. He was only the consort though, might be a bit more difficult for an actual monarchy to do a private visit with no political ramifcations.
