Mishcon & The World

The eyes of the world have been on the United Kingdom – first, we saw a change of Government, when Boris Johnson was replaced by Liz Truss, on Tuesday, 6 September, and then less than two days later, on the Thursday, Queen Elizabeth II died. It has been reported that her funeral, 10 days later, was the world's biggest ever TV event. Certainly, the hundred or so world leaders who came to London for the funeral service in Westminster Abbey must have been the largest such gathering ever. And in that way that Britain does, the procession, the pageant, the marching soldiers and pipes, horns and drums, were of a kind that nowhere else in the world seems to do.
