The scene of the breaking of a stick on Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin aroused the amazement and amazement of millions of people around the world, especially after learning that that stick was also buried with her, so what is the story of this stick ?
In detail, Lord Chamberlain breaks a staff on the late queen’s coffin, a tradition known as “breaking the staff”, a symbolic reference to the royal chief’s end of service.
After the wand is broken and buried with the queen, and the current lord is no longer on duty, 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 celebrated since 1952, during the funeral of King George VI.
The staff is called an “office wand” and in previous generations it was used to discipline court men if they were too annoying.
In a separate context, Queen Elizabeth was buried last night, Monday 19 September, at Windsor Castle, after the funeral service concluded 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 with the royal flag and on it the imperial crown, appeared on a cannon chariot, and then was carried in a military procession to Westminster Abbey.
King Charles and senior members of the royal family walked behind the coffin, amidst the sound of a bell ringing in the background and tens of thousands of people crowding the streets to watch the coffin go by.
