Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral, British public life has resumed, but the royal family will remain in mourning for another week.

Flags on government buildings were raised to full mast on Tuesday, and a clean-up operation was launched.

Liz Truss, the UK’s new prime minister, was appointed by the Queen just two days before her death on September 8 and flew to the UN General Assembly hours after delivering a biblical reading at the Queen’s funeral.

Following a public holiday for the funeral, workers were busy clearing up the debris left by the estimated million-plus people who lined the streets of London on Monday.

Legislators will take an oath of allegiance to their new sovereign as political life resumes following the official period of government mourning.
