St. Paul's Cathedral in London has hosted this Friday a formal mass in memory of the Queen of England Elizabeth II, the first religious event in tribute to the late monarch and which has been attended by civilians and political personalities.
The event, which began at 18.00 hours (local time), was attended by the British Prime Minister, Liz Truss; the leader of the opposition, Keir Starmer; and the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, according to the BBC.
Along with them, about 2,000 other anonymous citizens, after being accredited by the Local Information Center in Carter Lane Gardens, have been able to enter the London Cathedral to pay tribute to the monarch.
The beginning of the event was marked by the broadcasting of Charles III's first speech as King of England, replacing his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
Then, the dean-designate, Andrew Tremlett, in charge of leading the mass, took the floor to remember the queen for her "long life of service" to the country and the member states of the Commonwealth.
For her part, Truss, dressed in a black mourning gown, rose from the front rows of the cathedral to go to the altar and read the Epistle to the Romans, the sixth book of the New Testament, which states that "whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord".
