At The King's request, the wreath contains foliage of Rosemary, English Oak and Myrtle (cut from a plant grown from Myrtle in The Queen's wedding bouquet) and flowers, in shades of gold, pink and deep burgundy, with touches of white, cut from the gardens of Royal Residences.
‘The highest of distinctions is service to others.’
These words, spoken by The Queen’s father King George VI, were to inform Her Majesty’s entire working life, even before she took to the Throne.
Ahead of Her Majesty The Queen’s State Funeral, a new photograph has been released.
The photo was taken to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee - the first British Monarch to reach this milestone.
Tomorrow, millions will come together to commemorate her remarkable life.
The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.
The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.

On March 12th 1999, Yehudi Menuhin passed away. The last piece I played for him was the 'Kaddish' by Maurice Ravel. Artist Norman Perryman has created a fluid painting to our recording : a prayer to mourn the dead - and hope that peace may be established.
