Residents in their thousands across Ealing came together on the A40 to show their respect to Queen Elizabeth II as her coffin was being driven from arriving at RAF Northolt to Buckingham Palace yesterday evening (13 September 2022).
Along the route from Northolt, the convoy of vehicles which accompanied Her Majesty went through Greenford, Perivale, Ealing, Acton and proceeded to its Royal destination.
In a tweet, former leader of Ealing Council, Julian Bell said: “Thousands say a sad farewell to #QueenElizabethII at Gypsy Corner on the A40.”
