Good that HM has plenty of family members to delegate tasks when she is unable to attend.

IMO a very elegant look for the funeral.

I'm also going to guess that Zambia is a tad warmer than the  UK in November? So I'm going to applaud her for keeping her cool.

In November, the UK and London in particular is like the Arctic - OK, maybe I'm exaggerating a little, but that's what it feels like at the moment! Frost has already been scraped off my car and I've already put the main heating and fan heater on. Zambia would perhaps be a lot warmer than the UK, given the fact that it is in Africa and Africa is a generally hot climate. British weather is infamous for being grey and bleak all year round including in the summer, and that's mostly true (though we had a lovely summer this year, but I was in a hotter country for most of it so didn't get to experience that rarity).

We have had snow for at least four or three winters running, but last year we didn't get any due to Global Warming.
