The BBC's broadcast of the momentous day started at 8am and ran right through until 5pm, with Kirsty, Huw Edwards, and David Dimbleby leading the coverage. Following the committal service, Kirsty wrapped up the proceedings with a powerful and moving monologue.
In a final tribute, the 53-year-old referenced the "might of the military parade", the "splendour of Westminster Abbey" and the "hushed intimacy of St George's Chapel in Windsor".
