Queen's coffin lined with lead in royal tradition dating back centuries

The Queen's funeral is to take place on Monday September 19. The late Monarch will be buried within the King George VI Memorial Chapel in Windsor Castle during a private committal service.

She will join King George VI and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, and her sister Princess Margaret in the family tomb. Once there, Prince Phillips's coffin will be transported from the Royal vault to join her in her final resting place.

Nothing is to be left up to chance, from transport arrangements to the coffin that she will rest in, everything down to the last details has already been agreed by the late Monarch. According to the Mirror, Her Majesty's coffin was made more than 30 years ago by the same firm that made the lead-lined casket in which the Duke of Edinburgh lies buried.
