Hearts went out to the new King Charles III as he said a final goodbye to his mother the Queen Elizabeth II in a committal service at Windsor Castle. The King appeared to be fighting back tears as mourners at St George's Chapel sang God Save The King at the close of an emotional service for the late monarch.
The Queen sadly passed away aged 96 at her beloved Scottish home Balmoral on September 8, following a reign of 70 years. She was laid to rest after family, friends and the nation said a fond farewell with a majestic state funeral service at Westminster Abbey in London.
This was followed by a colourful gun carriage procession through central London carried by the State Gun Carriage of the Royal Navy to Wellington Arch at Hyde Park Corner. The coffin then travelled by state hearse to Windsor where the sovereign will be laid to rest alongside her beloved late husband Prince Philip.
