The queen is not forgotten.
After the historic funeral of Elizabeth II, which brought together hundreds of guests and thousands of people in the streets of London and Windsor, the British royal family published late Monday evening a new photo on social networks.
'May flights of Angels sing thee to thy rest.'
In loving memory of Her Majesty The Queen.

The photo, taken by Patrick Lichfield at Balmoral in 1971 according to Sky News, shows the sovereign, scarf on her hair, stick in hand, jacket on her arm and bag slung over her shoulder, walking on Scottish moors.
A photo not chosen at random
As a comment, a sentence from "Hamlet", which King Charles III had already pronounced during his speech, the day after his mother's death: "May flights of Angels sing thee to thy rest", which we can be translated as "let flights of angels sing for your rest".
Below the quote from William Shakespeare is added a simple: "In sweet remembrance of Her Majesty the Queen."

Elizabeth II never hid her love for nature and she was often immortalized roaming the countryside on foot or on horseback.
The Scottish residence of Balmoral where the photo was taken - a private residence, which belonged to his family - was also known to be his favorite.
She spent all those summers there and even held part of her honeymoon there with Prince Philip.
It is there, too, that she died, at the age of 96, on September 8th.
