Legoland Windsor paid homage to the Queen by lowering the flags to
half-staff and putting floral tributes to its exhibits of Windsor Castle and
Buckingham Palace.
Smaller touches were also added, including a note marking the British
monarch's passing on the Buckingham Palace gates.
Following the announcement of Her Majesty's passing at age 96, the theme
park was closed for a day, although it has since reopened.
The Queen also resided at Windsor, which is where the park is located. The
locals became used to seeing her at the Great Park there over the
years.
The presentation at the theme park in Windsor featured little elements like
a notification marking the longest-reigning British monarch's death on the
gates of Buckingham Palace.
Aamina Zafar-Tariq, a mother and TikTok user, commented: "I'm getting a
little choked up watching Legoland's homage to our late Queen Elizabeth
II.
With a carpet of flowers, a notification of her passing on the royal gates,
and flags flying at half-staff above Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace,
everything was complete.
On TikTok, her video of the miniatures has received more than 185,000
views.
Flags are at half-mast and thousands of mourners have placed flowers and
memorials to Her Majesty, who was revered by her people, at the real-life
equivalents of the Castle and Palace.
To protect them, several memorials have been relocated to Green Park, where
daily rows of flowers are growing.
Amazing displays of civic pride can be seen at the park by Buckingham
Palace, where endless lines of flowers, tributes, cuddly toys, candles, and
cards cover the grass and walkways. Royal Park staff can be seen walking to
and from their trucks to continue placing bouquets, adding to the incredible
scenes of community spirit.
People who visited Green Park to take in the ambience and pay their
respects to the late Queen Elizabeth II have now started assisting the
gardeners by removing the plastic wrap from bouquets of flowers, making the
task of composting them much simpler.
The late monarch's coffin is being transported by road today, the second
formal day of mourning for Queen Elizabeth II, traveling 175 miles in a
six-hour hearse to the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh. Her daughter
Anne, Princess Royal, is with her.
The new King waved to onlookers as he was taken into Buckingham Palace
early this afternoon, and those in Green Park paying respects may have had a
sight of him as well.
Due to the great number of flowers being set for the Queen after her
passing, members of the public assist in organizing and preparing flowers
for display in Green Park.
Thousands of well-wishers met a weeping King Charles III as he arrived at
Buckingham Palace this afternoon where he will meet with Patricia Scotland,
general secretary of the Commonwealth, as his mother, the Queen, begins her
six-hour trip from Balmoral to Edinburgh.
As the king was taken past the Palace gates by a convoy of four automobiles
and four police motorcycles, cheering crowds lined The Mall, including kids
perched on their parents' shoulders.
The public has been flocking to the royal palace to give their best wishes
since since her doctor's health worries were made public on September 8; the
crowds have only increased since the Queen's passing was announced at 6.30
p.m. on Thursday.
In the days following Her Majesty's demise, tens of thousands of bouquets
have been left for her, with several witnesses being moved to tears by what
they saw.
In order to create room for the people to continue getting as near as they
can to the King's new residence while the country comes to grips with the
Queen's passing at age 96, palace gardeners have started taking bouquets of
flowers from the gates and relocating them to Green Park.
Due to the massive number of flowers being put for the Queen after her
passing, members of the public have been spotted helping arrange and prepare
flowers for display in Green Park.
This weekend, a lot of young families visited Buckingham Palace as parents
used the occasion to introduce their kids to such an important historical
event.
