Newcastle (United Kingdom) (AFP) – On Eldon Square, in the centre of Newcastle upon Tyne, mourners gather to watch Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral on a big screen, with many in the crowd visibly emotional at the monarch’s passing. “I’m not ashamed to say, I’ve actually shed tears. It hit me harder than I ever thought it would,” retired serviceman Steve Baker admits.
