And this Thursday, it is also a rainbow that the Londoners, above Buckingham Palace, but also the residents of Windsor Castle, could see in the sky at the announcement of the death of the queen Elizabeth II this Thursday, after almost 70 years of reign.
Photos taken by press photographers thus show, a few minutes before the official announcement of the death of Queen Elizabeth II, two rainbows (including one more faded) above the Victoria Memorial, just in front of the palace. of Buckingham. In this double rainbow, several Internet users saw Queen Elizabeth II, of course, and her husband Philip, who died last year.
Other photographers posted images of another rainbow on social media, around the same time, but near Windsor Castle this time, another high place of the British monarchy.
“The passing of my beloved mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a very sad moment for me and all my family members. We deeply mourn the loss of a beloved sovereign and a beloved mother.
