On that day, the King received the body of the Unknown Warrior at the Cenotaph, before following the gun carriage on foot to Westminster Abbey as Chief Mourner. The body had been brought from France, and the grave in the Abbey was filled with French soil. . In his diary entry for that day, His Majesty wrote: . ‘At 11.0. I unveiled the Cenotaph & then followed two minutes silence throughout the whole Empire. The whole ceremony was most moving & impressive … everything was most beautifully arranged & carried out…’ . Queen Mary also described her thoughts on the extraordinary day in her diary: . ‘The short ceremony below while the Cenotaph was unveiled by G was most impressive & the 2 minutes silence had a wonderful effect. We then went to Westminster Abbey to await the arrival of the body & were present at the internment. Wonderful service but most upsetting.’ .
