Years ago mourning meant wearing black for at least a year. Now days 3 weeks to a month is the official mourning period. We enter a 19 day period of mourning until the day after the Queens funeral.
Last night King Charles 111 appeared on TV and broadcast his first message to the nation and comonwealth as King. He has a heavy burden facing him and has had to wait a long time. I fear his reign will not be a long one.
We watched the programme, but then switched over to watch videos we had recorded, the main TV channels have been swamped with endless programmes which become a bit boring after a bit.
It is a rather grey day, quite cool too, needless to say rain is forecast.
DB is out in the garden, will call him in soon, for the first time we are to see what happens when King Charles is officially proclaimed King. It has never been televised before. He acceded to the throne the moment the Queen died, but this ceremony is to proclaim to the Country and the world that he is now King.
No idea about supper. might do salad.
