Peers flocked to the Lords chamber yesterday(FRI) to pay tribute to the Queen's "devotion to the happiness of her people" and her dry sense of humour.
The most lavishly decorated room in the Palace was packed, with some peers forced to sit in the middle aisle to hear colleagues share their most personal moments with the Queen.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, sparked laughter as he recounted the holding of barbecues in January at the late Queen’s country seat of Sandringham in Norfolk.
