Hello and welcome to the October issue of Soltalk . And what a sad month September was with the death of our lovely Queen Elizabeth II dominating our news , television and our thoughts . But , in the words of one of our advertisers , “ They didn ’ t half give her a good send-off .”
This is an area where the UK excels , the pomp and ceremony were amazing to see especially the surreal image of her four children guarding her coffin as it lay in state in the beautiful Westminster Hall whilst members of the public filed slowly past in silence . And the sight of her favourite pony Emma , with the Queen ’ s headscarf on its saddle watching her funeral procession towards Windsor castle . You would need a hard heart to not be moved by the sights and sounds of her state funeral .
