The final public service for the Queen before she is laid to rest has taken place at St George's Chapel in Windsor - and several poignant moments that have signalled the end of her incredible 70-year reign have left viewers in tears.
This afternoon, a congregation of 800 people including the King, the royal family, realm prime ministers, governors-generals and mourners from the Queen’s household past and present, including personal staff from across her private estates, gathered in the gothic church following the service in Westminster Abbey.
At the close of the service, the Imperial State Crown, the orb and the sceptre were lifted from the Queen’s coffin by the Crown Jeweller, separating the Queen from her crown for the final time.
