Queen Elizabeth II will be brought to her final resting place this afternoon, as the nation watches the historic state funeral take place for its longest-serving monarch.
The Queen’s coffin is making the final journey to St George's Chapel in Windsor, where Her Majesty will be buried alongside her late husband of 73 years Prince Philip . The King George VI Memorial Chapel where the Queen will be interred is also the resting place of her father, George VI and her mother Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, as well as the ashes of her sister Princess Margaret.
With thousands of mourners queuing for miles and enduring wait times of up to 14 hours to see the Queen lying-in-state at Westminster Hall, it’s expected that many will also want to visit Her Majesty’s grave when they are able to do so. Although Windsor Castle, where the chapel is situated, has been closed since the Queen’s death on September 8, visits to the Queen’s final resting place will be possible in time according to The Mirror .
