As the UK remains in a period of national mourning following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, there’s a lot we can learn about our own response to it. And what does national mourning actually look like when you swap a Queen for a King?
Welcome to another My Why from me, Claire Sandys, co-host of The Silent Why podcast.

It struck me as I was watching a long silence in Westminster Hall, just after the Queen’s coffin arrived to 'lie in state', that in the busyness of our capital, at the very heart in fact, there was a reverence and a silence. And whatever you thought of Great Britain's Queen, or our new King Charles III, the decision to stop and reflect on loss is never a bad thing. Whether a monarch, or someone/something else you've lost - it is always good to pause.
