Queen Elizabeth II has completed the journey to her final resting place at Windsor after a momentous state funeral at Westminster Abbey, as world leaders joined Britons in mourning the country’s longest-serving monarch.
The Queen was laid to rest with her late husband Prince Philip at a private ceremony at the King George VI memorial chapel at Windsor at 7.30pm on Monday, drawing to a close 10 days of national mourning. The Royal Family confirmed later on Monday evening that the burial had taken place.
Crowds thronged the route as the Queen’s coffin made its way from the abbey through ceremonial London to Wellington Arch, before being taken west to Windsor Castle for a service of committal at St George’s Chapel.
