Queen Elizabeth II will be laid to rest, but not so the past (Mail and Guardian)

It is the institution of the British monarchy, and not Elizabeth herself, that is associated with atrocities of colonialism.

In her role as a “British celebrity”, the queen has been used as a tool to legitimise the United Kingdom’s interests in former colonies and to build the country’s “soft” global power. This is not to do with Elizabeth as a person but rather with the institution of the British monarchy and the atrocities committed in its name. Given the passage of time and the queen’s age, most British people either do not associate her with the British Empire, do not know much about the negative side of it or, if they do, see it as belonging to the distant past.

Under leaden skies, Queen Elizabeth II's coffin returns to London (Eyewitness News)

Despite the weather, crowds along the route into central London had built steadily through the day, and the throngs of well-wishers gathered at the palace ...

While large crowds welcomed King Charles, visiting the deeply divided region was testing. King Charles's popularity has recovered since the death of his former wife Diana in a 1997 car crash - and has surged in recent days, according to a new survey on Tuesday. Queen Elizabeth's visit to the neighbouring Republic of Ireland in 2011 was the first by a British monarch since its independence from the crown and was seen as a huge step towards cementing the hard-won peace in Northern Ireland. At Edinburgh Airport, the Royal Regiment of Scotland, in ceremonial kilts, also formed a guard of honour to the woman dubbed "Queen of Scots", and the national anthem played as the plane taxied to the runway. Ann Sudlow, 61, a retired nurse from nearby Dromore, had also made the early morning drive "to show the king that we're behind him as a country and Northern Ireland is supporting him". "I just want to have a glimpse of the coffin and it's going to be chaos at Westminster," Joseph Afrane, 59, told AFP as he waited for the hearse to arrive at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday evening. Earlier on Tuesday, the queen's eldest son and successor King Charles III made his maiden visit to Northern Ireland as monarch as part of his tour of all four nations of the United Kingdom. Outside St Giles' Cathedral, the Royal Company of Archers, the monarch's bodyguard in Scotland, formed a guard of honour as the coffin emerged to the haunting sound of a lone piper. "To my mother, The Queen, thank you," the 72-year-old Princess Royal said in a statement. Her body was brought first to the monarch's official residence in Scotland, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, in Edinburgh on Sunday, then transferred to St Giles' Cathedral in the city on Monday. Accompanying the coffin on the plane, as she did from Balmoral to Edinburgh by road, was her only daughter, Princess Anne, who said it had been "an honour and privilege" to do so. Despite the weather, crowds along the route into central London had built steadily through the day, and the throngs of well-wishers gathered at the palace gates applauded as the cortege entered.

Many in my part of the world, the global South, are expecting the church to acknowledge history, challenge the present, and also give equal attention to their local stories. If we as a church can “celebrate” the good in our society, then we should equally be honest and challenge the bad. Therefore, the challenge is for Adventist leaders at all levels to appreciate that how the passing of Queen Elizabeth II is portrayed and received is not universal. The effects of the monarchy and the British Empire continue to be felt in the former colonies. Identity issues clearly remain unresolved in the church, and the death of Queen Elizabeth II further exposes how much we are polarized. Her sense of duty to God, the country, and the Commonwealth was a source of stability and hope in difficult times and an inspiration for many.” However, judging by comments and reactions on social media, while Queen Elizabeth II’s death is regrettable, how her story is told is a contentious issue even among Seventh-day Adventists around the world.

After a lifetime of vivid symbolism, Queen Elizabeth II faded to gray (The Washington Post)

Here, at the end of it all, is an old woman in a gray cardigan. She exuded continuity. She changed little even when so much called out to be changed.

In the end, there was the click of a camera’s shutter and the result was a simple portrait of a gray-haired woman in pleats and woolens. The young Queen Elizabeth II, not long out of her teenage years, with the glow of youth and a tinkling bell of a voice, pledged her life to duty. The institution, which speaks to class, imperialism and a kind of mythic rapture, is being lavished with pomp and ceremony. She was a stabilizing force; she was a reminder of the racism, colonialism and violence upon which much of that stability was built. It’s a mesmerizing, vaguely disconcerting close-up of a woman once so defined by resplendent grandeur, her boldly colored wardrobe and her ever-present corgis, that to see her alone in the stance of a well-heeled but stooped elder, is to find her almost unrecognizable. As she leans on her walking stick, she smiles into the camera with her head slightly tilted and her eyes peering over a pair of reading glasses.
