Queen Elizabeth II funeral: HM to be lowered into 16-foot deep Royal Vault alongside husband Philip

The state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II was held on Monday morning, and she will be laid to rest in the evening following a private ceremony.

She will be buried alongside her husband, Prince Philip, to whom she was married for 73 years. The monarch's coffin will take the same route through the quire of St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle as he did when he passed away in 2021.

On Monday, the Queen's coffin will be lowered into St George’s Chapel’s Royal Vault, a burial chamber 16 feet deep where Philip's coffin currently resides.
