Queen’s name inscribed in chapel stone alongside George VI and Prince Philip

The Queen's final resting place has seen her name, birth date and death date inscribed into a ledger stone. The George VI Memorial Chapel in Windsor now bears the names of Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip.

The names and dates of the Queen's father George VI and his wife the Queen Mother are also seen on the stone. The late monarch was laid to rest together with the Duke of Edinburgh on Monday (September 19) evening.

After the state funeral for the country at Westminster Abbey and committal service in Windsor, the Queen was buried in a private service attended by the King and the royal family. The ledger stone, which is new, has replaced the black stone slab set into the floor which had featured the names George VI and Elizabeth in gold lettering.
