Queen Elizabeth's First Public Appearance In A Mask

JAKARTA - For the first time, Queen Elizabeth II has appeared in public wearing a mask since the corona virus pandemic. The appearance was shown by the Queen while attending a brief ceremony at Westminster Abbey.

Queen Elizabeth two were present to participate in the centenary of the burial of the "Unknown Warriors." This is not Queen Elizabeth's first public appearance. But this is the first time he has worn a mask.

That Wednesday, November 4, the 94-year-old Queen wore a black mask with a white border. The photos were released Saturday evening, November 8.

"It is wonderful to see His Holiness in good spirits and good health," said Dr. David Hoyle, Dean of Westminster after the service.

The short service was attended only by the dean and queen of Equerry, Lieutenant Colonel Nana Kofi Twumasi-Ankrah. The queen leaves behind a bouquet of orchids and myrtle, based on her own wedding bouquet from November 1947. She bows her head after a prayer from the dean.

The tomb is the final resting place of an unidentified British soldier who died during World War I. His body was brought back from Northern France and buried at Westminster Abbey on November 11, 1920.

'Within limits'

The ceremony takes place a day before the four-week lockdown goes into effect in Britain. Apart from forcing the closure of various businesses, places of worship must also operate within certain limits.

Face coverings are required by law in certain indoor settings such as on public transport, in shops and places of worship. The UK government also recommends wearing these clothes in indoor places where social distancing may be difficult and where people are in contact with people they usually don't meet.

Other members of the royal family have been seen regularly wearing face coverings during the pandemic. The queen was criticized for not wearing it last month when she visited the Defense Science and Technology Laboratory at Porton Down in southern England with her grandson Prince William.

The Queen took the opportunity during her rare trip to London to visit Buckingham Palace, her official residence in the capital.

Before Britain went into complete isolation on March 23, the queen and her 99-year-old husband, Prince Philip, moved to Windsor Castle, which is about 25 miles (40 km) west of London.
