The Queen's piper who woke the late monarch every morning with the sound of his bagpipes has carried out his final duty - by playing her beautiful goodbye.
Pipe Major Paul Burns of The Royal Regiment of Scotland played a moving lament in St George's Chapel in Windsor as the Queen's coffin was lowered into the Royal Vault as her funeral drew to a close today.
He was the lone musician at the committal service this afternoon and as he played the pipes, he walked between the chapel and the Dean's Cloister so that the music during the ceremony slowly faded away.
