Thousands of mourners have come to the capital and are lining the streets of Windsor to bid their final farewell to the Queen.
People are beginning to throw flowers as the Queen's coffin has been transferred into a car as she heads to Windsor to her final resting place.
Many were moved to tears as they watched big screens or listened on radios as the service from Westminster Abbey was broadcast to the masses.
More than 2,000 people led by King Charles were inside the abbey for the service of the late monarch, as millions more watched around the world.
On The Mall and in front of Buckingham Palace the funeral is played through tannoys which are slightly out of sink, providing an echo effect that seems to add gravitas to the words.
People stood stock still as they watched the queen’s guards march past.
Tears streamed down the faces of mourners among the crowds on Constitution Hill as the service drew to a close at Westminster Abbey.
Others began putting away iPads and tablets, which they streamed the service on and held up to allow those further back to watch, in anticipation for the passing of the cortege.
The street was lined with a half-company from the Royal Air Force standing alongside police officers.
As the national anthem was sung after the service, the clouds parted and the sun shone through the trees in Green Park.
Members of staff at Buckingham Palace have lined up in front of the building to pay their respects to the Queen.
The procession has passed by the palace on its journey to Windsor.
Chefs, butlers and police officers are among the staff standing in front of the Queen's main residence.
Thousands of people have lined South Carriage Drive to watch the hearse carrying the Queen's coffin.
It is the first road the hearse will drive down on its way to Windsor following the funeral procession.
In some places the crowds were 30 people deep.
Mourners were seen waving flags and carrying flowers and many have thrown single stems towards the moving hearse.
Some cheers and cries of hip hip hooray can be heard from the crowd as others stand in dignified silence as the cortege goes past.
One of the most impromptu screenings of the day was at the IT Repair Shop in Hounslow, where Umed Samnani, known locally as Jordan, had the Royal Funeral on a display laptop screen for those paying their respects along the route of the A4.
Cadet volunteer Ayden Padaniya, seven, had brought his own tribute to the Queen. “I have coloured in a picture of her and written ‘Thank you, Our Queen’ on it,” he said.
His friend and fellow cadet Zeina Rajwani, also seven, said: “The Queen was a very nice lady.”
Hanif Ladhani, 61, proudly showed his ‘Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service’ badge. “But this badge belongs to the community not me,” he said.
Some of the very first to join the queue to pay their respects by the roadside were three mums, each there in memory of their own mother.
Bhawani Sellvarajah, 58, Rita Gnaniah, 52, Shajna Nizar, 45 come from the Christian, Hindu and Muslim faiths respectively, but have been friends for 23 years after meeting at the gate of the local primary school.
“My mum saw the Queen when she visited Chennai in India in February 1961, when she was aged just 33,” Rita said.
“My mum was five years younger, and she never forgot how beautiful she was. Years later when she came to visit me in London, she asked me to take her Buckingham Palace to pay her respects, and she said she could still see her face very clearly in her mind.”
For Bhawani lining the route of the cortege on the Queen’s final journey has been particularly poignant.
“My mum Lakshmi died exactly three weeks before the Queen,” she said. “She loved the Queen so much. I am here for them both.”
The Queen's coffin will now be transported from London to Windsor for a private ceremony and burial.
