The 95-year-old monarch attended the ceremony at Westminster Abbey, ending speculation that she would have to bow out after cutting back on her public appearances following a night spent in a hospital last October, and then the COVID diagnosis in February."She has mobility issues. Some days are better than others," royal correspondent Roya Nikkhah told CBS News, adding that the service for Philip may have been the monarch's most important engagement in a decade.
With friends and family members barred from the hospital by strict virus-control measures, nurses did their best to comfort seriously ill patients, senior nurse Mireia López Rey Ferrer told Elizabeth."As nurses, we made sure that they were not alone,'' López Rey said."We held their hands, we wiped their tears and we provided comfort. It felt at times that we were running a marathon with no finish line.
