Queen's funeral brings down curtain on new Elizabethan age

Her death marks the severing of a bond that tied modern Britain, and also much of the rest of the world, to the wartime era－of all the major world leaders, only US President Joe Biden, born in 1942, shares any connection to that period.

The death of queen Elizabeth brought to a close the modern Elizabethan era, and saw a huge display of public mourning, rounded off by a funeral, attended by the guests from across the world, which was rich in pageantry.

The future is King Charles III, a very different monarch, for a very different country, in a very different world.
