Viewers watching the Queen's funeral today were reduced to tears as Her Majesty's coffin went past her 'proud parents'. The historic state funeral saw 2,000 people gathered at Westminster Abbey to remember the late monarch on Monday morning.
King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla led the procession behind the coffin and they were joined by other members of the royal family, including Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Afterwards, the coffin was taken in procession from Westminster Abbey to Wellington Arch before the final journey to Windsor - and she travelled past the statues of her loving parents.

The Queen's father was of course King George VI, who was the monarch from 1935 until his death in 1952 aqt the age of just 56-years-old.
While her mother was Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, better known as the Queen Mother, who died in 2002 at the remarkable age of 101 just seven weeks after her other daughter, Princess Margaret, passed away.
The coffin procession went past the bronze statues, which are situated between The Mall and Carlton Gardens, in moving scenes.
Sky Royal Events Commentator Alastair Bruce's powerful words left many vieweers at home in tears.
"The Queen passes her two proud parents, watching from the side of the Mall," he said. "Neither could have known what a great Queen their daughter would be when King George VI came unintenionally to the throne on the abdication of his brother.
"But two proud parents watch as the Queen goes by."
The King George VI statue was unveiled by the Queen in the presence of her mother and other senior royals in 1955.
While the Queen Mother statue was sculpted in 2009 and was funded by a special five-pound coin produced to mark Queen Elizabeth II's 80th birthday.
On BBC News, Huw Edwards said: "And there we are. Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, who died 20 years ago and King George VI who died a relatively younbg man in his 50s in 1952, meaning the Queen came to the throne at the age of 25.
"No quesiton that King George VI was responsible for shaping this remarkle reign that we've seen for the last 70 years. Queen Elizabeth has reigned very much within the parameters set by her father.
"A very close bond between them, as there was between the Queen and her mother."
Many viewers took to Twitter after watching the heartwarming scenes unfold.
"Damn BBC making people teary-eyed by giving a prominent shot to the Queen's parents," one person tweeted.
Another added: "The Queen's proud parents.. What a scene! This is wonderfully produced by the BBC. Congrats to everyone involved."
"The framing shot of the statues of the Queen’s parents is a nice cinematographic touch; props to the BBC cameraman," said a third.
The coffin was then taken in procession from Westminster Abbey to Wellington Arch and will now head to Windsor.
The hearse will travel in procession to St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle via the Long Walk, after which a televised committal service will take place in St George's Chapel at 4pm.
Later in the evening, there will be a private interment service with senior members of the royal family.
The Queen's final resting place will be the King George VI memorial chapel, an annex to the main chapel where her mother and father were buried, along with the ashes of her sister, Princess Margaret.
Philip’s coffin will move from the royal vault to the memorial chapel to join the Queen’s.
