Salisbury fell silent on Monday, September 19, as thousands honoured Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's funeral.
While some chose to watch history unfold together in Salisbury Cathedral, others quietly reflected at home.

The result was a eerily quiet city centre, which one resident likened to the early days of Novichok or lockdown.
Jo, from Salisbury, viewed the Queen's funeral inside the cathedral, she added: "It was very tasteful and memorable.
"I'm proud to honour a woman like her. It's marked in my mind as the biggest piece of history that I've witnessed."
Many shops displayed 'closed' signs with respectful messages honouring the Queen.
Smartly dressed mourners filed into the cathedral for the viewing, which started at 11am.
Kirsten Davies, 42, of Woodgreen, brought her two children, 10-year-old Fin and eight-year-old Bella to "let them feel this historic event".
The family dressed in black and wrote in the cathedral's book of condolence.
Mrs Davies added: "It's very subdued and it's a nice place. Being around other people is very important today, that is what she was about.
"It's important to understand that death is not always a terrifying thing, it can be a nice moment to respect someone."
Her son, Fin, said: "It was quite cool and it was nice to be among other people."
Around 700 people attended Salisbury Cathedral throughout the day to pay their respects and watch parts of the funeral on the big screen.
The atmosphere inside was quiet and respectful while everyone's eyes were locked to the screen.
Some tourists anticipating a full tour of the cathedral were surprised to find only the Nave open. Robin Ford, Irma and Marvin Camoureux travelled from Vancouver, Canada, for a wine-tasting tour of England.
Mrs Ford said: "I liked reading the memorial plaques. We don't really mind that it's closed, it was peaceful and respectful inside."
Salisbury MP John Glen said: "Alongside so many Salisbury residents it was a privilege to be in Salisbury to watch the funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. It was a deeply moving occasion which will give us all much to reflect on.
"Her Majesty has given us so much, as our Bishop said in the Cathedral yesterday, we all have a great deal to thank her for and to be inspired by in our own lives in the times ahead. God Save The King. "
