The Queen was kept on her final journey in London as the procession trampled over horse poo to get to Wellington Arch.
A procession took place today through London as the late monarch made her way through the capital to Windsor, where she will be buried alongside her husband Prince Philip. The Queen's funeral was held today, with many UK and overseas dignitaries in attendance with the Royal Family as they all paid tribute to Her Majesty.
In her final journey, a procession of many representatives from the Armed Forces from both the UK and across the Commonwealth led a procession through the capital as those bid farewell to the monarch in London for the final time.
Eagle eyed viewers noticed how the procession continued to march through The Mall and past Buckingham Palace, walking in perfect lines, as they stepped onto the horse poo that had been left earlier by the horses that had come through.
There were seven groups on procession, all which came with their own band. The Commonwealth led in the front, followed by the RAF, the Army, the Navy and the Marines, the Gun Carriage with Her Majesty's coffin on and then civilians.
On the BBC today, the coverage has been led by some famous faces. Huw Edwards, Kirsty Young, Fergal Keane, David Dimbleby and Sophie Raworth have all been leading the coverage, broadcasting from across the UK.
Huw and Fergal are based in London, whilst Kirsty and David are set to be broadcasting live from Windsor where the Queen's coffin will be seen for the final time. Elsewhere, Sophie has been coming live from at Parliament Square with Anita Rani positioned at the Long Walk at Windsor ready for the procession there later today.
JJ Chalmers has been at Wellington Barracks as they all come together to mark the historic day with a special programme, that has been airing from eight in the morning and will continue until five in the evening across multiple channels including BBC One, BBC Two as well as BBC iPlayer. There has also been BSL coverage on BBC Two throughout the day.
The funeral took place today at 11am as the world prepared to say goodbye to the monarch following her 70-year-old reign. Many world leaders and dignitaries packed into Westminster Abbey to pay their respects whilst a number of members of the public were also invited for their work during the Covid pandemic as they all paid tribute to the late monarch.
