The Queen's coffin is set to be lowered inside a 16ft vault on Monday evening where she will be reunited with the Duke of Edinburgh.
Her Majesty will be taken to her final resting place on September 19 following her state funeral, which saw thousands line the streets to pay their respects.
Following the same passage through the quire as the Duke of Edinburgh, Queen Elizabeth will be taken to St George's Chapel just 17 months after her husband.

Married for 73 years, the pair will finally be reunited for a time as the coffin is lowered 16ft down into the tomb, where the casket will lie in the burial chamber.
With the tiled floor set to be removed in order to lower the coffin, the Star reports that the burial chamber will not be Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip's final resting place.
Following the state funeral, there will be a private ceremony at 7.30pm for senior royals, when the couple will be laid to rest in the King George VI memorial chapel that adjoins the main building.
It was Her Majesty's wish to be laid to rest alongside her father George VI, mother Elizabeth, and sister Princess Margaret.
The Queen was married to Prince Philip for 73 years, meeting him when she was just 13-years-old and he was an officer in the Royal Navy.
She was known for describing him as “my strength and stay”, as he supported her throughout her reign, being present during parades and walking one step behind her.
Whether he was sitting by her side during windswept parades or walking one step behind, he kept the vow he had made during the Queen’s Coronation at Westminster Abbey in June 1953.
His vow was: “I, Philip Duke of Edinburgh, do become your liege man of life and limb, and of earthly worship; and faith and truth will I bear unto you, to live and die, against all manner of folks. So help me God.”
