The choir at the Queen's funeral will sing a number of touching hymns which will remind the Royal Family of her "unwavering faith" and love for her husband Prince Philip.
Mourners across the nation were quick to highlight that the deeply sad loss of the Queen meant she was at last reunited with her life partner of 74 years.
The death of Prince Philip during the Covid-19 pandemic in April last year devastated Queen Elizabeth II, who sat alone for his memorial service at St George's Chapel.
Now, as she too is laid to rest, the Queen's funeral will hear the same hymn that was sung on their wedding day in 1947 - The Lord is my Shepherd.
The hymn will follow a reading of The Second Lesson, by Prime Minister Liz Truss at Westminster Abbey.
At Windsor Castle the choir will sing The Russian Contakion of the Departed, which was also sung for the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh.
A specially-commissioned choral piece, composed by the Master of The King’s Music, Judith Weir, Like as the Hart, will also be sung by the choir at Westminster Abbey.
Buckingham Palace said the piece was "inspired by Her Majesty’s unwavering Christian faith".
Following the Sermon, the choir will sing the anthem, My soul, there is a Country, set by Hubert Parry, which the Queen chose as “an anthem of great hope”, Buckingham Palace said.
At Windsor Castle, more touching links to the Queen's family members are planned.
During the service, the Dean will read Revelation 21, verses 1-7, which was read at the funerals of the Queen’s grandparents, King George V in 1936 and Queen Mary in 1953, as well as at Her Majesty’s father’s funeral in 1952.
Her Majesty’s coffin will descend into the royal vault as the Dean reads Psalm 103, ending with the traditional words, Go forth upon thy journey from this world, O Christian soul.
Garter King of Arms will proclaim the styles and titles of the Queen.
A lament will be played by The Sovereign’s Piper, who will slowly leave the chapel.
At the close of the Committal Service, the Archbishop of Canterbury will pronounce The Blessing and the Congregation will sing the National Anthem, God Save The King.
