[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Nayeon] On the day of Queen Elizabeth II's passing, a cloud shaped like the Queen appeared in the sky over the UK, as if comforting the hearts of the people.

On the 8th (local time), Lee Ann Bedell, a woman living in Shropshire, West Midlands, UK, posted a photo of the cloud on Facebook.

Bedell was driving home on a road in Telford with her daughter Lacey just a few hours after the announcement of Queen Elizabeth II's death. Suddenly, her daughter pointed to the sky and shouted, "Mom, it's the Queen."

The cloud in the sky resembled the hat Queen Elizabeth often wore while performing royal duties.

Bedell posted the photo on Facebook, and the post was shared over 46,000 times, gaining widespread attention. Major UK media outlets such as The Independent and Metro also reported that many people were moved by the photo.

Earlier, immediately after the announcement of the Queen's death, a rainbow appeared over Buckingham Palace. Many people expressed their sorrow over the Queen's passing, saying, "The Queen sent us a sign. She really has left us."

Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth II's funeral is scheduled to be held as a state funeral at Westminster Abbey on the 18th, following a 10-day mourning period. Leaders and dignitaries from around the world are expected to attend the funeral.

King Charles III of the United Kingdom is expected to welcome major global figures and foreign royal family members visiting to attend the funeral on the 17th, the day before the funeral.
