How to see the Queen's grave as Windsor Castle reopens to public

Queen Elizabeth II was laid to rest in a private burial ceremony in King George VI Memorial Chapel in Windsor following her state funeral on September 19.

Entrance to Windsor Castle and the chapel has been closed to the public since Her Majesty's death, but has reopened today (September 29). Hundreds of members of the public have already queued to see the Queen’s final resting place and see the ledger stone in the George VI memorial chapel which is inscribed with her name.

The fresh stone now contains, in list form, “George VI 1895-1952” and “Elizabeth 1900-2002” followed by a metal Garter Star, and then “Elizabeth II 1926-2022” and “Philip 1921-2021”. All four royals were members of the Order of the Garter, which has St George’s Chapel as its spiritual home.
