Ethan during states, visits you to notice that the monarchy of england, and especially to form a queen. But she still had such respects from the older monarchs to it was needed actual a grandmother to them. For many in britain, the queen was a constant. Governments rose and fell and were replaced. Economy fluctuated. The royal family continued. The size of the crowds share the loyalty and affection with which the queen was regarded. The sense of what has been lost with her passing. It may take some time yet to sink in. Pull Brennan Al JazeeraCentral London doctrine tested not as a rule, historian jones, we live in the studio. So its been an incredible day of ritual and pageantry. What would you say the main themes . Were that the process altogether . Well i thought there was 3 very clear strands. One was obviously that military pump and pageant tree. We talked last hour about the imperial hangover, where that comes from the 2nd with the deep religious strain running through all late morning. She was a woman of prayer. She knew the scriptures, she could recite the thumbs, the archbishop of canterbury when he got corona virus, he was told by the queens private secretary. She is praying for you. And when he tells us, you know, we will meet again and he uses her address to throw forward to the after life that was absolutely pitch perfect. Elizabeth believed this was one life and shes on to the next to the phillip to see the late king. So there the, to the military and this religious, but actually i think what brings this world wide audience, which keeps people on the edge of their seats. If the family monarchy at the heart of the all isnt, is a heartbeat, you know, the architecture of state the pump, the ceremony, the godliness, and the house of windsor lead for 70 years by a woman. And how, how important all these kind of movements, personal she for that for keeping the monarchy alive. Because if it depends on, you know that this is a constitutional monarchy. Why . Why are these sorts of things to important for its continued existence . I think its very important. Its the glue, the branding, its like a top heart if you like. Its a reminder of the house of wind winds and staging, not just on a national stage, but internationally. I think you can, you can judge the reach that this narrative has through television. Audience is of course its a medium thats quote and television. But if we take the massive eye popping wedding that was the late diana princess diana, and Prince Charles in 10813 quarters of a 1000000000 people watch that. I bet you did. I did. That was 3 quarters of a 1000000000 people. Then look at diana funeral in 1997. By that time its 2500000000 people watching that funeral today, they think an estimated global audience of 4000000000 people tuning into picture postcard britain. Why . Because of the beating heart of the windsor family, which is great. So many of us and touched us and to watch a legacy is what would you say the key moments of her rain all i think she was that generation particularly lived through. They didnt just divide the 2nd world war and fighting it, but they lived through unprecedented social change. That was an incredible challenge for institution, were really that to preserve tradition. Shes also the defender of the face. You know, so shes not meant to be sort of championing progress. And yet she had to keep her hand on the tiller through a social revolution, you know, which saw her own children divorce, 3 of them and she had to manage that. And i think she did, yes, she made some mistakes. I think we know that in the 1990 s particularly. But she, she managed to give us all a sense of constancy and i dare of somebody having a steady and almost invisible hand on the, till she was a she was a symbol of unity. And that was evidence today. Not just in britain pouring out the streets, but internationally, so many people coming to respect that was very touching. And so the international turner, but also the, the role of the commonwealth and i should through the procession. How is the commonwealth at risk now that weve coming to this point in, in history, is interesting. Partly because the commonwealth, it was a voluntary improve organizations. Voluntary group of countries. Nobody was forced to be in the commonwealth with the massive difference between commonwealth and empire. When she went out, just off, shed been coordinated in 1953546 month toward gigantic one, taking in half the globe. You know, she was, she made it very clear that she was the human link and it was her life work. She was the 1st head of the commonwealth when we saw a grow from some a countries tonight, 56. So while people are shedding or more cars ahead of state, and i just dont to 14 rounds, i dont think they will be as quick to leave. What is really an organization of soft power, talking shop, a way of exchanging i days, opinions, even trade. I think thats valuable in todays world where so many of the problems need to global solution, and one thats not always dictated to by america. Dest. Thank you very much indeed.
