The scene of breaking a stick over the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II raised the astonishment and astonishment of millions around the world, especially following knowing that that stick was also buried with her, so what is the story of this stick?
In the details, Lord Chamberlain breaks a stick over the late queen’s coffin, a tradition known as “breaking the stick”, a symbolic reference to the end of the chief royal’s service.
After the wand is broken and buried with the Queen, and the incumbent lord is no longer in service, King Charles duly appoints a new lord of his own, and the latter receives a new wand.
The symbolic breaking of this staff is part of every king’s funeral tradition, and this is the first time this ritual has been held since 1952 during the funeral of King George VI.
The cane is called the “office wand”, and in earlier generations it was used to discipline court men if they were too troublesome.
In a separate context, Queen Elizabeth was buried yesterday evening, Monday, September 19, at Windsor Castle, following the funeral service ended with the burial, and a legendary funeral was held for her, which brought together the leaders of the world and peoples.
During the ceremony, the Queen’s coffin, covered in the royal flag and the imperial crown above it, appeared on a cannon cart, and then was carried in military procession to Westminster Abbey.
King Charles and senior members of the royal family walked behind the casket, amid the sounds of a bell ringing in the background, and tens of thousands thronging the streets to watch the casket pass.
