'Respect for the lives lost': UK Royal family's tribute to Ahmedabad plane crash victims; moment of silence observed
King Charles III and other members of the royal family wore black armbands and observed a minute's silence during his official birthday parade on Saturday, in memory of those who died in this week's Air India plane crash . The symbolic gesture came at the King's request. A statement from Buckingham Palace said it was made 'as a mark of respect for the lives lost, the families in mourning and all the communities affected by this awful tragedy.' The crash happened on Thursday, shortly after an Air India flight took off from Ahmedabad, heading for London. The accident claimed the lives of 241 people on board and at least 29 more on the ground. The plane was carrying 169 Indian nationals, 53 Britons, seven Portuguese citizens and one Canadian. Only one person survived. As the head of state of the United Kingdom and head of the Commonwealth – which includes India and Canada – the King's tribute during such a major public event held added significance. The parade, known as Trooping the Colour, is a traditional military ceremony in central London, full of music and pageantry. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo It marks the monarch's official birthday and includes a grand review of troops on Horse Guards Parade near St James's Park. The royal family members in uniform were seen wearing black armbands throughout the event. The moment of silence took place while the King stood on the dais after he had inspected the troops. This is not the first time such a gesture has been made during Trooping the Colour. In 2017, Queen Elizabeth II also observed a moment of silence at the same event, just days after the Grenfell Tower fire, which killed 72 people.

5 legendary Mughal rulers and the facts that made them unforgettable
The Mughal Empire played a major role in shaping the history of the Indian subcontinent. From introducing new systems of administration to building some of the most iconic monuments, the Mughals left behind a legacy that continues to influence India's cultural and historical identity. While many emperors ruled during the Mughal period, a few stood out for their leadership and the lasting changes they brought to the empire. Their contributions helped define the political, cultural, and architectural direction of the time. At its peak– between the mid-1500s and early 1700s– the empire controlled almost the entire Indian subcontinent, with vast resources and a strong military. The first six emperors– Babur, Humayun, Akbar, Jahangir , Shah Jahan, and Aurangzeb– are often referred to as the 'Great Mughals' for the key roles they played in the empire's rise and influence. In this article, we focus on five of these rulers whose reigns had a lasting impact on Indian history. Babur Babur was born in 1483 into a family with a strong legacy– his ancestors included Timur and Genghis Khan. After losing control of Central Asia, he turned his attention towards India. In 1526, he defeated the Lodi Sultanate at the First Battle of Panipat, marking the beginning of Mughal rule in India. His time as emperor was short, but Babur played a key role in laying the foundation of the Mughal Empire. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 오스템 임플란트 받아가세요 임플란터 더 알아보기 Undo He also wrote the Baburnama, an autobiography where he shared his thoughts, stories, and what life was like during his time. His vision helped shape what would go on to become one of the most powerful empires in India's history. Humayun Humayun, Babur's son, became emperor in 1530, but his time on the throne wasn't smooth. From the beginning, he faced tough challenges, especially from Sher Shah Suri, who defeated him and forced him into exile for several years. Still, Humayun didn't give up. He came back to India and regained the throne in 1555. Unfortunately, just a year later, he passed away after a fall in his library– a sudden and tragic end. His rule had many ups and downs, but Humayun's persistence helped keep the Mughal dynasty alive. More importantly, he set the stage for his son Akbar, who would take the empire to new heights. Akbar Akbar became emperor when he was just 13, but he quickly showed that he had the vision and strength to lead. Through his many military campaigns, he expanded the Mughal Empire across much of the Indian subcontinent. But what really set him apart were his ideas about ruling with fairness and inclusion. He is especially remembered for promoting religious harmony. Akbar gave important roles to people from different faiths and introduced policies that balanced power between the central government and local communities. Even though he couldn't read or write, he deeply valued knowledge and was a strong supporter of art, culture, and learning. His reign, from 1556 to 1605, is often seen as the most peaceful and successful period in the Mughal era. Jahangir After Akbar's death, his son Jahangir took over as emperor in 1605. Since he inherited a strong and stable empire, he was able to focus more on art, culture, and beauty. Under his rule, Mughal miniature paintings reached new heights, and his court became known for its rich artistic expression. There were some moments of unrest during his reign, and Jahangir was also known for his personal indulgences. But despite that, he managed to hold the empire together. While he may not be remembered for major political changes, his deep interest in art and culture played a big role in shaping the Mughal legacy. Shah Jahan Shah Jahan ruled from 1628 to 1658 and is best remembered for the beautiful buildings he created. The most famous of them all is the Taj Mahal , which he built in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal. Even today, it's seen as a symbol of love and Mughal-era design. He also built impressive structures like the Red Fort, showing the artistic brilliance of his time. His rule began on a strong note, with peace, prosperity, and cultural growth. But things changed in his later years. After he fell seriously ill, his son Aurangzeb took over the throne and kept Shah Jahan under house arrest until he passed away. Despite the difficult end to his life, Shah Jahan's legacy lives on through the timeless monuments he left behind– structures that still represent the glory and elegance of the Mughal Empire.
