"Queen Elizabeth II in her 70-year-reign was really the still point for this nation. And an icon of steadfastness no matter what the tumult around the country. The last 10 days have seen how this country has come together in mourning. And today was not just an opportunity to quieten our grief but to celebrate our great nation, our late monarch and our monarchy," a Londoner told NDTV's Radhika Iyer on the day Britain gave a majestic state funeral to its longest-serving monarch.
