At the centre of yesterday's pomp and circumstance was the procession of Queen Elizabeth II's coffin, which was made possible by two men working in England's North West.
The Queen was laid to rest on Monday (September 19) in the UK's first state funeral since Winston Churchill's in 1965. After the Queen's lying in state at Westminster Hall ended, her coffin was carried by gun carriage to Westminster Abbey for the service.
Following the conclusion of the service, the Queen's coffin was carried to Wellington Arch, where it was placed in the state hearse to make the journey to Windsor Castle for a committal service and a private burial service.
