Today (19th September 2022) the nation marks the state funeral of Her Majesty the Queen. The colourful wreath which adorned the Queen’s coffin included rosemary, for remembrance, and myrtle cut from a plant that was grown from a sprig of myrtle in the Queen's wedding bouquet in 1947. Other flowers included pelargoniums, garden roses, autumnal hydrangea, sedum, dahlias and scabious — all in shades of gold, pink, white and deep burgundy to reflect the Royal Standard. These plants were all cut from the gardens of Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Highgrove House. Set in a nest of English moss and oak branches, King Charles III requested the wreath be made sustainably and without the use of floral foam. Attached to the wreath was a handwritten note from the King, which read: 'In loving and devoted memory, Charles R.'
