The articles, the opinions, the stories, the poems and the cartoons Ovi magazine covers for Tuesday September 27th, 2022 – World Tourism Day
World Tourism Day will be celebrated as the shift towards tourism is being recognized as a crucial pillar for development and as progress is well underway. May 2022 marked the first time the United Nations General Assembly held a special debate on tourism, illustrating the historic relevance of the sector. Tourism is now on the agenda of governments and of international organizations in every global region. Tourism’s International Observance Day will put people at the center of key discussions. Where is tourism going? Where do we want to go? And how do we get there?
Main Takeaways from Queen Elizabeth II State Funeral by Kola King
Queen Elizabeth II who reigned for 70 years as a British monarch was laid to rest on Monday, September 19 at St George’s Chapel, Windsor along with her husband Prince Phillip who died in 2021 at the age of 99. She was buried in the royal private vault in the same place where her father the late King George VI and Queen Mother were buried. Her burial meant the end of an era. It marked the symbolic end of the last vestiges of the British Empire. Her life was dedicated with steadfastness, devotion and singularity of purpose for the greater good of British society. As she stated in a speech marking her 21st birthday Elizabeth said, “I declare before you 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.” Indeed, not only did she enjoy a very long and remarkable life, but she dedicated her entire life to unstinting service to British society. She promised to serve with love, trust and respect. She was the epitome of British diplomacy, finesse and tact.
As expected, everything went with clockwork as the bearer party moved the Queen’s coffin from Westminster Hall to the gun carriage. The King, the late Queen’s children and grandchildren all walked behind in a procession to Westminster Abbey. At 11 am the funeral began at Westminster Abbey, and then at 12.15 pm the procession moved from the abbey and continued through central London.

“Summertime has, finally, gone to wane,
It had a decent run.
The Pleistocene was rather mean
Before the green had begun
And humanity had its short fun
Until it turned excessively insane.”
