Vail Queen Elizabeth (Part Four)

Queen Elizabeth is currently lying in state at Westminster Abbey. On Thursday September 15th 2022  The day after the coffin's arrival and the ceremony at Westminster the new Prince and Princess of Wales travelled to the Queen's Sandringham estate in Norfolk. Sandringham is very special to the Royal family as they spend Christmas there every year as a family. Prince William and Catherine Princess of Wales met the public and viewed all the tributes that had been placed in honour of Queen Elizabeth II.

Later that evening at about 7:30pm the special ceremony called the Vigil of the Princes took place in Westminster Abbey. Queen Elizabeth's children stood vigil for 20 minutes around her coffin as they did a few nights prior at St Giles' church in Scotland. The last time the Vigil of the Prince's occurred was in 2002 for Elizabeth the Queen Mother when her four grandchildren, Prince Charles, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and David Armstrong-Jones Viscount Linley (now Earl of Snowdon) stood vigil around her coffin. Prior to that it was done for King George V in 1936 when his sons King Edward VIII, The Duke of York (later King George VI), the Duke of Gloucester and the Duke of Kent stood vigil around his coffin.
