ST. LOUIS — While many are mourning the Queen from thousands of miles away, one St. Louis woman was in London when the news unfolded.
Hannah Colon returned home on Saturday morning and said witnessing what she did, still feels surreal.
What started off as a spontaneous one-day trip in London for Colon and her friend, turned into a moment that will go down in history forever.
“I can’t believe I was there at all for that day,” she said.
For Colon, the shock still hasn’t worn off.
“It was just a lot to take in,” she said.
While Colon sat in the London Tea Room in Tower Grove on Saturday, she recalls every detail of what she experienced just two days ago.
“It was definitely surreal. It was a blessing to see it and also a really sad moment to be there for that part of history,” she said.
Colon’s friend, who is a flight attendant, asked if she wanted to tag along with him to London.
