one of the young the soldier guarding Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin was Jack Burnell-Williamsan 18 year old boy, has overcome several obstacles to enter the elite army, the second oldest in England, but unfortunately he was found dead last Wednesday, 28 September, in the barracks, in Hyde Park Barracks, a few minutes earlier that the clock struck at 4 pm

An Army spokesman, as recorded by the BBC, stated: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the soldiers at this difficult time and ask that their privacy be respected.” While Laura, her mother, shared on her Facebook account: “I never thought I would say this, but we as a family are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of our wonderful son, Jack Williams.”

The boy played a pivotal role on September 19 (the final day of the queen’s funeral), in the casket transfer that began at Westminster Abbey, passed through Buckingham Palace and ended its journey at Wellington Arch.. At the event, soldiers from the “Household Cavalry of Horses” followed behind King Charles and other high-ranking royals, including Prince William and Prince Harry, as they walked behind the queen’s coffin while being carried in a cannon carriage, TN reported.

On the other hand, his girlfriend posted on social networks: “I will always miss you, my love. Truly heartbroken”; so did the young man’s sister, who wrote: “We will get through this together as a team. We need to make him feel as proud as he has made us.”.

His parents, on the day of the painful royal ceremony, expressed the pride they felt for their son, as his father Daniel Burnell wrote: “My son did his duty for the queen on his last journey, I am so proud”. And his mother, accompanied by a photo of the soldier, said: “One of the proudest days of my life.”

As reported by the BBC, his friends and family will gather to remember him at Bryntirion Football Club in Bridgend this Saturday afternoon.

Queen Elizabeth II dies of old age

On the other hand, the death certificate for Elizabeth II, who died on September 8 at the age of 96, was announced Thursday by the Scottish National Archives. After 70 years of reign, Elizabeth II died at Balmoral castle in Scotland. His death was announced by Buckingham Palace at 18:30 (London time), but British Prime Minister Liz Truss is known to have been notified at 16:30.

The certificate was signed by Princess Anne, daughter of Elizabeth II, who accompanied the king during the last hours of his life. If the queen has died in England, there is no need to register her death as the law only applies to the subject of the ruler.

The cause of death given simply as “old age”, with no other causes listed, could put an end to speculation that the ruler suffered from certain conditions in the last year of his life. The certificate was issued by Douglas James Allan Glass, a doctor from Braemar, a town near Balmoral, who has treated the queen for 34 years.

According to the newspaper Time, he was at Balmoral for a routine staff consultation. “The queen’s health has worried us for several months,” the 68-year-old doctor was quoted as saying by the newspaper. The ruler’s death “was something we expected, we knew would happen,” he said.

Elizabeth II’s last public appearance was on September 6, when she commissioned new Prime Minister Liz Truss to form a government. The king smiled, but was frail, leaning on his scepter. In recent years, the palace has remained very careful about the state of the ruler’s health.
