today, again, church bells across the country, including the storied westminster abbey and st. paul s cathedral rang out. today mourners mourn the loss of the longest-reigning monarch in british history. across the country and on ships at sea, the british armed forces fired salutes to honor her majesty. one round was fired for each of the 96 years she lived. all eyes on her eldest son, king charles iii, and his wife, now the queen consort, camilla. they returned from balmoral castle, where they were greeted warmly by the crowd in attendance, some of whom broke out in song. god save our gracious king god save the king we love you, king charles. we love you so much. one member of the crowd was so overjoyed she planted a kiss on his cheek. minutes later, a historic site, the king of england walking into the royal residence in england, buckingham palace, one of many symbols of change today and likely in the days to come. the new king spoke today in his new kaps any

Theyre also professionals and feel they have a right to a private life. One of the most poignant things for me to watching young Prince George in one of the cars behind the coffin. The prince and Princess Of Wal
