Generations and Heritage: Reflections on the Queen Mother's Funeral

Janet Finch and David Morgan

Sociological Research Online, 2002, vol. 7, issue 1, 41-46

Abstract: In this paper we argue that the Queen Mother's funeral provided an opportunity to re-assert the ‘Royal Family’ in terms of strong cross-generational relationships rather than as a series of, often fragile, couple relationships. The ceremony of the funeral can be seen as successful in linking these inter-generational themes with other themes of national heritage and continuity.
