Everyone who attended the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II

More than 2,000 people attended the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II at Westminster Abbey today, Monday, September 19.

First to arrive were members of the public when the doors to Westminster Abbey were opened at 8am followed by heads of state and members of the royal family. During the service the King and the Queen Consort were sat in the ornate Canada Club chairs, with Camilla next to the Princess Royal, then Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, then the Duke of York and then the Earl and Countess of Wessex in the front row of the south lantern.

Across the aisle sat the Prince of Wales, the Princess of Wales, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, and then Peter Phillips and Zara and Mike Tindall. Directly behind the King was the Duke of Sussex with the Duchess of Sussex behind Camilla. Meghan was sitting next to Princess Beatrice.

US President Joe Biden was 14 rows back on the south transept behind the Polish leader and in front of the Czech Republic. The First Lady will be next to Switzerland's representative.

Former prime ministers Boris Johnson, David Cameron and Theresa May arrived at Westminster Abbey at the same time. Mr Johnson was accompanied by wife Carrie, while Mrs May was with husband Philip and Mr Cameron walked in with wife Samantha.

Moments later former Labour prime ministers Gordon Brown and Tony Blair walked into the church, alongside wives Sarah and Cherie respectively. Prime Minister Liz Truss and husband Hugh O'Leary arrived at Westminster Abbey a few minutes after her predecessor.

Ms Truss, read the Second Lesson during the service, was greeted by members of the clergy and shook their hands in turn before taking her seat in the abbey.

Sophie Winkleman, known for her role in the comedy series Peep Show, has attended the Queen's funeral as a member of the royal family. The actress, 42, is married to Lord Frederick Windsor, the son of the Queen's cousin Prince Michael of Kent, and appeared alongside him at Westminster Abbey on Monday.

Winkleman played Big Suze, the love interest of Robert Webb's character Jeremy, in long-running Channel 4 sitcom Peep Show, which also starred David Mitchell. She married Lord Frederick Windsor at Hampton Court Palace in September 2009 and became entitled to be styled as Lady Frederick Windsor but continues to use her own name in her acting career.

She is also the paternal half-sister of Strictly Come Dancing presenter Claudia Winkleman. Other famous faces who attended the funeral included adventurer and Chief Scout Bear Grylls and Grey's Anatomy actress Sandra Oh, who made up part of the Canadian delegation as a member of the Order of Canada.
