LONDON &#8211; On a fittingly gloomy day, thousands filled the streets of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/london" target="_blank" rel="noopener">London</a> on Monday to say goodbye to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/queen-elizabeth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II,</a> in hopes of seeing her casket carried through the city as part of the royal procession for her <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/united-kingdom" target="_blank" rel="noopener">grand state funeral</a>.
The Queen’s casket first <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-60617519" target="_blank" rel="noopener">departed</a> from Westminster Hall, where she had been lying in state, to Westminster Abbey. At the Abbey, the Queen received a funeral service attended by 2,000 individuals, including heads of state from around the globe. President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden were in attendance.
Throngs of people from around the United Kingdom began lining up Sunday night to secure a spot in the crowd to say their final goodbyes to the monarch who served her country for 70 years on the throne. Many began making preparations for this historic day as soon as they heard she had passed away on September 8.
One wife and husband donning a dress and suit, respectively, told The Daily Wire that they woke up at 3:00 am to make the trip to see the Queen’s coffin.
“When the news broke that she had died, we spoke as a family, and without any hesitation, we booked the trains to be here,” the husband said.
When asked if the state funeral could compare to any other event in the United Kingdom, the man added that he and his wife had seen “nothing like this. But it’s an experience for us all.”
When asked how they felt about the monarchy in general, the pair remarked they were “proud. Very proud.”
“Our children are proud,” the husband added. “And [the monarch] will carry on.&#8221;
The entire city appeared to be dressed in black for the somber day as accents from all over the U.K. could be heard praying or crying. Most of the crowd was silent in reverent observance of the ceremony, with many “shushing” those who attempted to speak.
Even those who don’t necessarily support the royal family came to pay their respects to the dearly departed leader.
Throughout the procession, the city seemed to be at a standstill. No cafe, restaurant, or shop has opened its doors today.
One visitor from Germany, a 23-year-old named Nicholas, told The Daily Wire that he happened to have three trips planned to London before the Queen passed away. He also wasn’t planning on attending but did so and remarked the city-wide mourning was “an amazing thing to see.”
“We obviously don’t have these kinds of things in Germany,” he added. “I didn’t expect it to be such a huge thing. Not to be in poor taste, but it’s kind of like a festival almost. It doesn’t really feel like a funeral.”
When asked how Germany reacted to the Queen’s death, he remarked, “Everybody felt it.”
As of press time, the Queen’s casket had <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/queen-elizabeth-ii-funeral-king-charles-iii-royal-family-news" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrived</a> at Windsor Castle for her burial at St. George’s Chapel.

Thousands Fill London Streets To Pay Final Respects To The Queen

England

King Charles III

Queen Elizabeth

The new British monarch bears the name of a predecessor who was executed and another who was exiled.
King Charles III, 73, formerly Prince Charles, chose to keep his name following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, on Thursday. He is the first monarch named Charles since the 1600s, and the oldest person to ascend the throne in history. In a pre-recorded speech Friday, the new king vowed his life to service and invoked his mother.
&#8220;As The Queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, I too now solemnly pledge myself, throughout the remaining time God grants me, to uphold the Constitutional principles at the heart of our nation,&#8221; said King Charles III.
Who Was King Charles I?
King Charles I, born November 19, 1600, ruled England for more than two decades beginning in 1625. A firm believer in divine right — the idea that the monarch&#8217;s right to rule comes directly from God — Charles I didn&#8217;t summon parliament for years, starting an era that was known as his &#8220;Personal Rule.&#8221;
But after a series of controversial political and religious policies, a civil war broke out that would ultimately kill more than 3% of the population. King Charles I would be accused of treason and executed in 1649.

His trial and execution are among the most controversial moments in British history. Some see it as a lawless reprisal against a political opponent, while others consider it a watershed moment for the rule of law and the authority of Parliament. Undoubtedly the sequence of events was a key milestone in the decline of the British monarchy and the relative rise of Parliament, eventually leading to the symbolic and largely neutered royals of the modern era.
His Son&#8217;s Short Reign
Charles I’s son, King Charles II, was formally crowned days after his father’s death. Born May 29, 1630, Charles II was caught up in a complex web of civil wars and forced into exile in 1651. He would spend the next nine years in France, before he was invited back to England and restored to the throne after the death of Oliver Cromwell, the de-facto leader during the period without a king.

For legal purposes, Charles II was considered to have been the rightful monarch the entire time and the brief republican escapade was papered over as an odd detour in an unbroken succession of monarchs. 
Charles II had his own controversies surrounding Parliament and the Church. But he never went as far as his father, and he is perhaps best remembered as &#8220;The Merry Monarch&#8221; and for the reported hedonism and extravagance of his court. (He fathered at least 12 children illegitimately.)
When Charles II died in 1685, he left behind no legal heirs, passing the throne instead to his brother James.

An Execution And An Exile: What Happened To King Charles I And King Charles II?

What Happened To King Charles I And King Charles II?

London

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/prince-charles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">King Charles III</a> will give a speech to a mourning nation Friday evening, his first address since the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-queen-elizabeth-ii-dead-at-96" target="_blank" rel="noopener">death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II</a>, made him a monarch.
The king traveled to London early Friday, after being at his mother&#8217;s bedside at her Scottish estate Balmoral during her final hours. He is expected to speak at 6 p.m. local time. The nation has not heard a king give a speech since the mid-20th century, but received brief comments from him when he arrived at crowds in London.
“Thank you so much, it&#8217;s so kind, it really is,” King Charles III, 73, told mourners and well-wishers. “God bless you.”
Though the British monarchy is largely ceremonial, the beloved, late queen was seen as a leader and an inspiration throughout her life, especially in times of political and cultural turmoil. The news of her death reverberated across the world, prompting condolences from many heads of state who never knew a time before she was queen.
The British public, likewise, went out in droves to pay respects at Buckingham Palace. A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Wire</a> reporter on-scene estimated that thousands of people were outside the palace gates within an hour of the announcement the queen had died. Many brought flowers, and others openly sobbed.
“Everyone here, as long as they’ve been in this country, majority of them have known the queen to be there,” said Mark, 26, who declined to give his last name. “So for it to come to an end today is pretty upsetting.”
“With her spans the history of modern Britain and everything it stands for,” another man told The Daily Wire.
London is now bracing for a 10-day mourning period and a transition it hasn’t seen in seven decades. The queen&#8217;s body will remain in Scotland briefly, but will soon be brought back to London. Senior members of the British government will soon swear their loyalty to the new king.

King Charles III To Give First Speech As Nation Mourns Queen’s Death

King Charles III To Give First Speech As Monarch

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/meghan-markle-wont-join-royal-family-to-be-at-bedside-of-sick-queen-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Queen Elizabeth II</a>, who ascended to the British throne at age 25, counted Winston Churchill and former President Reagan as close friends, and became the longest-reigning monarch in the nation&#8217;s history, has died. She was 96. 
The Royal Family confirmed the news on Twitter, writing in a statement, &#8220;The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.&#8221;
Within an hour of the announcement, thousands had gathered at Buckingham Palace to pay their respects, according to a Daily Wire reporter on-scene. Some cried, others prayed, and others talked about the queen and her legacy.
Though the British monarchy is largely ceremonial from a legal standpoint, Queen Elizabeth II did wonders for national morale throughout her life, especially in times of political and cultural turmoil. Yet one of her greatest achievements came early in her career, when she served as a steadfast symbol following the drama that preceded her ascension to the throne in the early 1950s. 
Her Majesty was active during the entirety of her decades-long reign. The most well-traveled monarch in history, the Queen visited 110 countries and was received so well that major parks, cities, and statues bearing her namesake can be found in nearly every corner of the globe. She was ubiquitous in popular culture, appearing in ceremonies, sporting events, and coins, and was the subject of films and shows. As of 2021, Queen Elizabeth II was named the third most admired woman in a <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/queen-elizabeth-beats-oprah-winfrey-most-admired-women-2021-meghan-markle-1659194">global survey</a>. She was the only royal on the list. 
&#8220;It’s worth remembering that it is often the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring about the most lasting change,&#8221; said Queen Elizabeth II during a <a href="https://www.royal.uk/queen%E2%80%99s-christmas-broadcast-2019">Christmas Broadcast</a> in 2019.
Elizabeth was born in 1926 in Mayfair, London, as the first child of the Duke and Duchess of York. Her father later became King George VI when his older brother King Edward VIII abdicated the British throne to marry American divorcée Wallis Simpson. During World War II, she joined the Women’s Auxiliary Territorial Service and worked as a driver and mechanic. She became the first female member of the royal family to serve in the armed forces and, when she died, was the only living head of state to serve.
<div id="attachment_434613" style="width: 628px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-434613" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-434613 size-large" src="https://www.dailywire.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GettyImages-3318448-618x576.jpg" alt="" width="618" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/09/GettyImages-3318448-618x576.jpg 618w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/09/GettyImages-3318448-300x279.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/09/GettyImages-3318448-768x715.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/09/GettyImages-3318448-1536x1431.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/09/GettyImages-3318448-2048x1907.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px" />1945: Princess Elizabeth, standing by an Auxiliary Territorial Service first aid truck wearing an officer&#8217;s uniform.

Upon turning 21, Elizabeth vowed her life to serve the Commonwealth. “I can make my solemn act of dedication with a whole Empire listening. I should like to make that dedication now. It is very simple. I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong,” she <a href="https://www.royal.uk/21st-birthday-speech-21-april-1947">said</a>. She <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2022/03/14/queen-elizabeth-renews-vow-commonwealth-day-prince-charles-william-kate/7036587001/">renewed</a> that vow in 2022 during her Platinum Jubilee celebration, when she became the first English monarch to reign 70 years. 
Elizabeth wed Philip Mountbatten, a former prince of Greece and Denmark, in 1947. Philip and Elizabeth first met in 1934 at a royal family wedding but the romantic spark didn&#8217;t light until a few years later in 1939 when she was 13 and he was 18. The strapping cadet caught Elizabeth&#8217;s eye while she was with her parents visiting Britain’s Royal Naval College.
Since the pair wed following World War II, Elizabeth had to use ration coupons to buy the materials for her wedding dress just like other brides of the time. It&#8217;s said that royal advisors had reservations about Philip being the right match. However, Elizabeth was smitten and could not be dissuaded.
“We behave as though we had belonged to each other for years,” Elizabeth wrote in a letter to her parents shortly after getting married. “Philip is an angel – he is so kind and thoughtful.’’
The pair were married for 73 years until Philip&#8217;s death in 2021. They shared four children together: Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward, and Prince Charles, who is now expected to ascend the throne. 
Elizabeth’s father died unexpectedly in February 1952 while Elizabeth was traveling in Kenya. After his passing, she became queen regent of seven independent Commonwealth countries including the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, and Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, at the age of 25. 
Queen Elizabeth lived through some of the most significant moments in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including multiple wars and cultural events. She personally met with 13 out of 14 sitting presidents during her reign — the only exception was President Lyndon B. Johnson.

During the 1960s and the 1970s, Elizabeth&#8217;s reign saw the spreading reality of decolonization  in Africa and the Caribbean, with more than 20 countries gaining independence from the British crown and establishing their own independent governments. Her Majesty survived an assassination attempt in 1981 during the Trooping the Colour ceremony when a 17-year-old shot at her from point blank range as she rode her horse. She was praised for remaining calm even in the face of potential death.
As queen, she was generally well-liked due to her staunch sense of duty and unwillingness to get involved in politics or other contentious issues. Unknowable yet gracious, she was always friendly and seldom showed her deepest emotions, with the exception of some rare occasions. Her close family all called her by the nickname &#8220;Lilibet,&#8221; which she had since childhood. She was known for loving horses and corgis, which were part of the royal household constantly over the years.  
The queen was rumored to despise drama and, when it came to scandals, she lived by the motto “never complain, never explain.”
But Her Majesty famously gave a small glimpse into her feelings in 1992 — the year she entered the fourth decade of her reign, and the year her family strife spilled into public view. 
In the course of 12 months, Prince Andrew’s wife Fergie, the Duchess of York, was caught engaging in an affair, Prince Charles and Princess Diana separated, and the queen’s home of Windsor Castle caught fire. Andrew Morton’s biography “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Diana-Her-True-Story-Words/dp/1501169734/ref=asc_df_1501169734/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=312176338241&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=4557011756202739125&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=21143&amp;hvtargid=pla-351092341198&amp;psc=1&amp;tag=&amp;ref=&amp;adgrpid=60258870897&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvadid=312176338241&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=4557011756202739125&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=21143&amp;hvtargid=pla-351092341198">Diana</a>” also revealed dark secrets about Diana, including bulimia and self-mutilation, and Princess Anne divorced Captain Mark Philips and then remarried in the same year.
“1992 is not a year on which I shall look back with undiluted pleasure,” Elizabeth <a href="https://royalcentral.co.uk/uk/milestones-of-a-monarch-the-annus-horribilis-speech-175163/#:~:text=At%20Guildhall%20in%20London%2C%20she,be%20an%20'Annus%20Horribilis'.">said</a> of these events during a speech. “In the words of one of my more sympathetic correspondents, it has turned out to be an &#8216;Annus Horribilis [horrible year].” 
<div id="attachment_434614" style="width: 854px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-434614" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-434614 size-large" src="https://www.dailywire.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GettyImages-52100042-844x576.jpg" alt="" width="844" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/09/GettyImages-52100042-844x576.jpg 844w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/09/GettyImages-52100042-300x205.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/09/GettyImages-52100042-768x524.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/09/GettyImages-52100042-1536x1048.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/09/GettyImages-52100042-2048x1397.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 844px) 100vw, 844px" />LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM &#8211; NOVEMBER 24: The Queen Making Her &#8220;Annus Horribilis&#8221; Speech At The Guildhall.

More scandals and tragedies awaited the royal family. Several years later, in 1997, Princess Diana would die in a fiery car crash, leaving Princes William and Harry without a mother. The queen’s third child, Prince Andrew, would become enveloped in an underage sex scandal tied to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. 
Queen Elizabeth remained steadfast and devout to her duties of servitude until the end, although over the years, the number of public appearances she made diminished. She was the patron of more than 600 organizations and charities, and remained extremely active well into her 90s, continuing to make public appearances and speeches. She was known for wearing bright colors, including vibrant hats, so that the crowds would all be able to spot her, according to the documentary “The Queen at 90.”
She will be remembered as one of the most beloved and accomplished monarchs in the world. 
“When life seems hard, the courageous do not lie down and accept defeat; instead, they are all the more determined to struggle for a better future,&#8221; she said a the 2008 <a href="https://www.royal.uk/christmas-broadcast-2008#:~:text=When%20life%20seems%20hard%2C%20the,struggle%20for%20a%20better%20future.&amp;text=The%20Queen's%202008%20Christmas%20Broadcast,Wales%20celebrated%20his%2060th%20birthday.">Christmas Broadcast</a>.

Queen Elizabeth II Dead At 96

The first <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-navy">U.S. Navy</a> destroyer to be sunk in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/american-history">American history</a> has been found by divers off the coast of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/england">England</a>. 
The ship, the Jacob Jones, was a Tucker-class destroyer that was sunk on December 6, 1917, after being struck by a torpedo while traveling to Ireland from France. 
“We found the Jacob Jones, the first U.S. destroyer to be sunk, ever, and the first major casualty for the U.S. Navy-wise in WWI. It’s an incredible achievement,” 39-year-old U.K. diver Will Schwarz <a href="https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-navy/2022/08/18/divers-find-wwi-navy-destroyer-the-first-to-be-sunk-by-enemy-fire/">told</a> the Military Times. 
The group of U.K. divers first announced their find last week on Facebook, and they said that they would be working with the U.S. Embassy on next steps now that the ship has been found. 
“She lies in 120M of water 60 miles south of Newlyn, Cornwall. We based ourselves there and everyone has been excellent,” diver Steve Mortimer posted alongside a picture of a portion of the ship’s wreckage. 
<iframe loading="lazy" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fsteve.mortimer.121%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0oxvHU8cVQRWX7d9GSrAu4wNe2cFGfTDeMq1iQGxFt9b4q8GPKPZ3Ci5NZZXiDZoql&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="563" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The group of divers, whose group is called Darkstar, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/18/world/europe/us-navy-destroyer-shipwreck.html">found</a> the fallen ship 400 feet under the surface on August 11. They were able to find a bell and the ship’s gun mount during their 20 minutes of exploring the wreck. One of the divers said that they cheered and gave each other high fives upon finding the Jacob Jones. 
The divers were also aware of the somber nature of the find, according to Rick Ayrton, a retired dentist who was part of the diving team. 
“For all of our excitement and adventure now, they were fighting a life-and-death struggle over a hundred years ago,” he said. 
The Jacob Jones, under the command of David W. Bagley, was hit by a torpedo from a German submarine while traveling from Brest, France, to Queenstown, Ireland. Sixty-four men of the 110-man crew died when the ship went down, including two officers. Within eight minutes of being struck, the ship had sunk, making it the first destroyer to go down in American history, <a href="https://www.history.navy.mil/research/underwater-archaeology/sites-and-projects/ship-wrecksites/uss-jacob-jones-dd-61.html">according</a> to Naval History and Heritage Command.
“It’s a really big deal, to be blunt,” naval historian Michael Lowrey said. “The U.S. Navy got into World War I late, and they didn’t lose a lot of major ships. The one destroyer they lost in combat was the Jacob Jones.”
Those who did so either survived by holding on to ship debris or in life rafts for hours in the cold Atlantic water. Lieutenant Stanton F. Kalk died of exhaustion and exposure after helping many men into life rafts. He was given the Navy Distinguished Service Award posthumously. 
British ships helped save the survivors of the wreck throughout the night, but the ship itself was never recovered or found until this month. 
The ship was named after early American Naval hero <a href="https://allthingsliberty.com/2019/06/jacob-jones-the-revolutionary-making-of-a-naval-hero/">Jacob Jones</a>, who served during several of the nation’s early conflicts, including the fights with the Barbary Pirates and the War of 1812.

British actor David Warner, who was known for his roles in &#8220;Titanic,&#8221; &#8220;The Omen,&#8221; and &#8220;TRON,&#8221; died over the weekend from a cancer-related illness at a residential home in London, his family said in a statement.
“Over the past 18 months he approached his diagnosis with a characteristic grace and dignity,” his family <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-62219839">said</a> in a statement. “He will be missed hugely by us, his family and friends, and remembered as a kind-hearted, generous and compassionate man, partner and father whose legacy of extraordinary work has touched the lives of so many over the years. We are heartbroken.”
The Hollywood Reporter <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/david-warner-dead-time-bandits-tron-1235185664/">noted</a> that Warner, 80, played in several roles in the Star Trek franchise, including St. John Talbot in &#8220;Star Trek V: The Final Frontier,&#8221; Klingon Chancellor Gorkon in &#8220;Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country,&#8221; and Gul Madred on &#8220;Star Trek: The Next Generation.&#8221;
He also played Keith Jennings in the 1976 film &#8220;The Omen&#8221; and ape Senator Sandar in &#8220;Planet of the Apes.&#8221; The report noted that Warner stayed away from acting for nearly 30 years due to &#8220;a bout with stage fright&#8221; before he returned to the stage in 2001.
One of Warner&#8217;s top roles came in the 1997 hit movie &#8220;Titanic&#8221; where he played an antagonist role as Spicer Lovejoy, the bodyguard and personal assistant of Caledon Hockley. In the movie, Lovejoy framed Jack, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, for theft by placing a diamond necklace in his jacket.
&#8220;So glad to have been able to express my admiration for David Warner&#8217;s incredible versatility and career in our time together on set,&#8221; actor Lin-Manuel Miranda said in response to Warner&#8217;s death. &#8220;Even talked him into doing a Random Roles interview with @NonStopPop, because my goodness, what a life and legacy.&#8221;

A 76-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pro-life">pro-life</a> woman who was arrested and fined for silently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/prayer">praying</a> outside an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-went-to-the-clinic-of-the-dc-abortionist-accused-of-gruesome-crimes-heres-what-i-saw">abortion clinic</a> in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-reporter-asks-liverpool-manager-about-coronavirus-his-response-goes-viral">Liverpool</a> has had her penalty dismissed.
Rosa Lalor, a grandmother, was arrested, detained, and issued a fine by officers in February 2021 for supposedly breaking COVID lockdown measures with &#8220;protest.&#8221;
&#8220;Merseyside Police have now conceded that such detention was wrong, and that Lalor was acting within her rights, indeed having a &#8216;reasonable excuse&#8217; to be outdoors praying,&#8221; human rights group Alliance Defending Freedom (U.K.) <a href="https://adf.uk/public-prayer-ban/">announced</a> in a press release issued Monday.
“I’m delighted that the prosecution has finally dropped this charge after a long and exhausting battle for justice,&#8221; Lalor said.
&#8220;I took this challenge forward with support from ADF UK to show that we do all have a fundamental right to pray – not least pray as I did, in the privacy of my own mind,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;It was wrong for the police officer to tell me that I could not pray in a public street. It’s important for officers to respect basic religious freedom, and improve their understanding of how that right manifests, in order to maintain a truly tolerant society.&#8221;
Jeremiah Igunnubole, ADF U.K. legal counsel for Lalor, noted that while his client ultimately won in court, it&#8217;s &#8220;deeply regrettable&#8221; Lalor had to endure such suffering for merely praying in public, suggesting she was really persecuted for her pro-life views.
“We’re thrilled to celebrate a victory for Rosa today, but it is deeply regrettable that this law-abiding woman was subjected to distressing, drawn-out criminal proceedings in the first place, no doubt due to her pro-life stance,&#8221; he slammed.
&#8220;This follows a worrying trend in law enforcement where individuals are routinely arrested simply because their views are considered to be controversial or offensive,” Igunnubole added.

Archeologists in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/england">England</a> are working on excavating a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/history">tomb</a> linked to the legendary King Arthur, hoping to uncover more about a mysterious grave.
Researchers from the group <a href="https://www.english-heritage.org.uk">English Heritage</a> and the University of Manchester began digging this month around a 5,000-year-old chambered stone known as Arthur&#8217;s Stone. According to local legends, King Arthur, the fabled ruler of Britain, killed a giant at the tomb’s location in Herefordshire, England. 
“Arthur’s Stone is one of the country’s most significant Stone Age monuments, and this excavation gives a really rare and exciting chance for members of the public to come and see archaeology in action,” Ginny Slade of English Heritage <a href="https://www.heritagedaily.com/2022/07/archaeologists-plan-to-excavate-tomb-linked-to-king-arthur/144026">said</a>, according to HeritageDaily.
The tomb <a href="https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/arthurs-stone/history/">consists</a> of nine standing stones surrounding a grave with a 25-ton capstone on top. Experts believe that there was some kind of false access point to the tomb to protect it from possible intruders. 
According to ancient myths, the imprint of the giant was left on one of the stones. An alternative explanation is that Arthur, known for his devotion to Christianity, knelt in prayer on one of the stones, leaving an imprint. Another story <a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/archaeologists-begin-first-ever-excavation-of-king-arthurs-tomb-180980362/">says</a> that one of the stones at the Arthur Stone emerged from a pebble that Arthur threw from his shoe as he marched by during one of his expeditions.
Others say that the tomb inspired C.S. Lewis, whose Aslan character was killed on a stone table in the classic book “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.” 
King Arthur was known for fending off the invading Saxons and uniting chivalric knights around the mythic round table at Camelot. His story has been told in countless books, films, and TV shows. Arthur became king after he was the only one who was able to draw a sword that had been lodged in a stone.
Julian Thomas, head of the project, said that the contents were likely removed at some point, though it is unclear when. 
“The act of constructing such a massive edifice would undoubtedly have been important, as it would have drawn people together to labour, enhancing social solidarity, and perhaps generating prestige for the person or persons directing the work,&#8221; Thomas <a href="https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/arthur-stone-tomb-excavation-scn/index.html">told</a> CNN. 
Visitors will be able to view the archaeological work and get a closer look at the national monument connected to one of England’s most beloved stories.
 “Our team of wonderful volunteers will be on hand to explain the latest findings as they happen &#8211; we’re asking people to book in advance to make sure everyone has a chance to enjoy this great opportunity,” Slade <a href="https://www.manchester.ac.uk/discover/news/tomb-linked-to-king-arthur/">said</a>, per the University of Manchester.

History

A stash of ancient <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/italy">Roman</a> coins buried throughout eastern England&#8217;s farmland has raised questions about the coins&#8217; history. 
In Norfolk, a rural county on the eastern coast of England, at least 11 <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/history">ancient</a> gold coins linked to Rome have been found by metal detectorists, a collective find known in the area as the “Broads Hoard,” because of local rivers and lakes. 
“The coins were found scattered around in the plow soil, which has been churned up year after year, causing the soil to be turned over constantly and led to them eventually coming to the surface,&#8221; Adrian Marsden, a numismatist (coin expert), <a href="https://www.livescience.com/roman-gold-coin-hoard-discovered-uk">told</a> Live Science. 
Experts question how the coins ended up where they did because they were made before the Romans invaded and conquered Britain from roughly 43-84 A.D. Early theories suggest that the coins could have been part of a religious sacrifice or a trade deal of some kind.
&#8220;It&#8217;s apparent that [the coins] went into the ground before the invasion,&#8221; Marsden said. &#8220;It&#8217;s possible that they could&#8217;ve been part of some type of offering to the gods, but more likely someone buried them with the intention of recovering them later.”
“Gold was often used as trade, so it&#8217;s possible that a local tribe could&#8217;ve gotten ahold of the coins and perhaps planned to use them for other things, such as melting them down to make jewelry,” he added. 
Back in 2017, the first coins were discovered by locals Damon and Denise Pye who were going through fields after they were plowed up by farmers after harvesting their crop. Marsden said that he expects more coins to be discovered as people continue to go through the fields hoping to be the next person to find a piece of ancient history. 
In an article for The Searcher, Marsden <a href="https://www.academia.edu/75407475/THE_BROADS_HOARD">detailed</a> the specifics of the coins, several of which bear the image of the grandsons of Caesar Augustus. Augustus was the first emperor of Rome and largely responsible for turning Rome into an empire. 
&#8220;In the second half of Augustus&#8217; reign, when his position was consolidated, the types [of coins] with dynastic reference increased as an indication of his succession, as is the case here with the extensive coinage for his grandsons, Gaius and Lucius Caesar,&#8221; Marjanko Pilekić, a coin expert told LiveScience. 
The coins found to date, worth about $25,000 collectively, have been placed in an exhibit in the British Museum. Other artifacts, like Roman copper coins and brooches, have also been found in the region.

United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson survived a recent &#8220;no confidence&#8221; vote but now faces a mass exodus of government leaders as he confronts ongoing controversy.
The large-scale departures include more than 30 resignations from the British government since Tuesday, including at least 13 junior ministers and three cabinet members.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Member of Parliament Huw Merriman was among the most recent leaders to step down on Wednesday, with his resignation letter being tweeted while he sat in a Liaison Committee meeting with Johnson.
&#8220;Events of the past few days, however, have demonstrated a further failure on the part of the Prime Minister, in terms of judgment, competency and integrity,&#8221; Merriman wrote.
&#8220;We cannot continue like this,&#8221; he added. &#8220;The current situation is causing inertia in Government and if we allow standards expected of those in public service to fall, we will lose the trust of the public and we will never attract high calibre, trustworthy and hard-working individuals into politics or public service,&#8221; he added.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Johnson remained resilient despite calls from those in the Wednesday committee meeting who called for his resignation, though he admitted that the U.K. was “going through tough times.”
“You’re making a point about duty. I look at the issues we face today… I look at the biggest war in Europe for 80 years, and I cannot see for the life of me how it is responsible to just walk away like that,” he <a href="https://inews.co.uk/news/huw-merriman-mp-letter-boris-johnson-resign-liaison-committee-1726986?ito=social_itw_theipaper&amp;utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1657121300" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the committee.
What has Johnson done to set off the ire of so many in his own government? Part of the battle stretches back to an event dubbed the &#8220;Partygate&#8221; scandal that led to 126 fines related to breaking COVID rules at a holiday party. The highly-publicized incident portrayed Johnson as leading elites in revelry while others were sacrificing and mourning across the nation.
More recently, Johnson faced allegations that he lied to cover up being aware of &#8220;multiple allegations of sexual misconduct&#8221; against Tory Member of Parliament Chris Pincher before he became the government&#8217;s deputy chief whip.
On Tuesday, Lord McDonald of Salford, the former head of the Foreign Office, revealed that the prime minister had been informed of an investigation regarding Pincher before Johnson gave him the job. McDonald wrote in the <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/voters-turning-against-boris-johnson-pollster-says-162622021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> that testified Johnson was briefed on the matter &#8220;in person.&#8221;
During a recent &#8220;no confidence&#8221; vote attempt in which opponents had hoped to force Johnson out of office, just 211 of 359 Conservative Members of Parliament voted in his favor for him to remain prime minister. The narrow victory means that Johnson cannot face another &#8220;no confidence&#8221; vote for 12 months under current British law.
Instead, critics have now resorted to a widescale resignation of government leaders across Parliament and beyond in order to force a change in the situation. Another <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-62064784" target="_blank" rel="noopener">option</a> would be for party leaders to change the one-year rule regarding another &#8220;no confidence&#8221; vote that could require Johnson to either resign or force a new election.
Despite controversies at home, Johnson has remained a staunch defender of the United States. As The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cnn-tries-to-get-boris-johnson-to-trash-the-united-states-they-were-not-expecting-his-response" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, when CNN’s Jake Tapper tried to encourage Johnson to bash democracy in America during a recent interview, the prime minister refused.
“When I talk to friends in Canada, the U.K., Australia and elsewhere, people express concern about the United States … in terms of our ability and our institutions to thrive and continue, after what happened with the election of 2020,” Tapper said. “They’re worried that democracy is on life support in the United States.”
“Are you worried at all?” Tapper asked. “Do you look at—”
“No,” Johnson fired back.
“You’re not?” Tapper asked.
“I want to say this to the people of the United States. I’m not,” Johnson responded. “I think that — I just get back to the — what I have been trying to say to you throughout this interview. I think that reports of the death of democracy in the United States are grossly, grossly exaggerated. America is a shining city on a hill.&#8221;
“I don’t believe that American democracy is under serious threat, far from it,” Johnson later added. “I continue to believe that America is the greatest global guarantor of democracy and freedom.”

American Indie star Phoebe Bridgers shouted “F*** America” to the crowd during her concert at a festival in England on Friday in response to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/roe-v-wade">Roe v. Wade</a> being overturned.
The 27-year-old singer walked out on stage at the music festival in Glastonbury and asked if there were any other Americans in the audience. She then went on an NSFW rant against America and the United States Supreme Court following the court&#8217;s 6-3 decision that overturns the landmark 1973 ruling as a result of the decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women&#8217;s Health Organization.
The ruling recognizes that there is no constitutional right to an abortion and returns the issue to the states to pass abortion legislation, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/victory-pro-life-leaders-react-to-overturn-of-roe-v-wade">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported.

Roe v. Wade's Long And Brutal Legacy

SCOTUS

Britain&#8217;s Prime Minister Boris Johnson survived a &#8220;No Confidence&#8221; vote in Parliament on Monday, carrying the vote 211-148 — a majority of 63 — despite needing only a simple majority to retain his office.
The vote came about as Britain&#8217;s post-COVID economy — like many others — struggles to combat skyrocketing prices for energy and food. Relentless inflation — along with multiple reports indicating that Johnson had attended a number of illegal gatherings while his country was locked down — prompted discontent from many citizens and members of Parliament.
Tensions were so high earlier in the week that when <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/british-prime-minister-boris-johnson-to-remove-all-remaining-coronavirus-restrictions-in-england/">Johnson</a> arrived at a service during Queen Elizabeth II&#8217;s <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/platinum-jubilee-judge-defends-choice-to-remove-j-k-rowling-from-reading-list/">platinum jubilee</a> — celebrating her 70 years on the throne — that he was greeted with a mixture of boos and cheers from the crowd.

Sir Graham Brady, Chairman of the 1922 Committee, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/boris-johnson-london-government-and-politics-d1bc8ce279ee43a8854c53c698bc0e57">announced</a> that a no-confidence vote would be held late on Monday, after at least 54 MPs sent in letters calling for it.
&#8220;I can report as returning officer that 359 ballots were cast, no spoilt ballots, that the vote in favour of having confidence in Boris Johnson as leader was 211 votes and a vote against was 148 votes,&#8221; Brady said after the votes were tallied. &#8220;And therefore, I can announce that the parliamentary party does have confidence in Boris Johnson.&#8221;
Johnson <a href="https://www.gbnews.uk/news/boris-johnson-says-we-can-move-on-after-convincing-and-decisive-result-in-confidence-vote/311944">spoke to media</a> after the vote, saying that it was time for everyone to unite and move forward.
&#8220;I think this is a very good result for politics and for the country &#8230; a convincing result, a decisive result, and what it means is that as a Government we can move on and focus on the stuff that I think really matters to people,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;I have got a far bigger mandate from my own parliamentary colleagues than I had in 2019.&#8221;
&#8220;I see no point in focusing on anything else and I’m certainly not interested in snap elections. What I’m interested in is delivering right now for the people of this country,&#8221; Johnson concluded.
Some pointed out that <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/slava-ukraini-boris-johnson-makes-unannounced-visit-to-kyiv/">Johnson</a>, who won his no-confidence vote 59%-41%, won with a slimmer margin than several prime ministers who had faced similar situations.
Former Prime Minister Theresa May faced a no-confidence vote in December of 2018, and she won 63%-37% &#8211; she resigned 5 months later. Margaret Thatcher faced one in 1989, but won hers handily — 84%-16%. Even then, opposition built over the subsequent year lead to her being ousted in a similar vote in 1990. John Major also came out ahead of Johnson in his 1995 no-confidence vote, with 66% supporting him &#8211; the subsequent 1997 general election is widely considered to be the worst electoral showing for the Conservative Party in the 20th century, as the Labour Party won a 179 seat majority and controlled parliament for the first time in 18 years.
