The Queen's Death - shop windows

 I have been strolling around Oxford, snapping a few shop windows that display photos of The Queen, and/or messages of condolence.

Quite a difference from the experience I had after Diana died, when there were many black framed photos of her in the windows of private residences.  I haven't seen any of those this time around.

Unfortunately all the signs are behind glass, which does not photograph well.  Often there is an image of Oxford scenery mirrored in the photos.  Still, it adds an additional angle - evidence that these were taken in Oxford, and not in London or some other town.






Even the buses got in on the act!










I like this one - perhaps a reference to Charles III?




This is a little tricky to connect with The Queen, but note the open book in the middle of the photo.












Many colleges had a flag half mast - the is Queen's College.



Magdalen College was also half mast. 




This estate agent replaced all their listings





I liked this display the most - they had something similar when Prince Philip died.
