Queen will be buried with funeral wreath - special request from Charles and nod to Philip

The Queen's funeral wreath includes a poignant connection to the Queen's late husband, the Duke of Edinburgh. Today she began her journey to her final resting place, with her state funeral taking place later today.

A wreath of flowers accompanied the Queen, that was draped over the late monarch’s coffin. It included a sprig of flowers from her wedding to her late husband, who she shared more than 73 years of marriage with. It has been made completely sustainable, on request of the King and will be buried with her at Windsor.

Cut from the gardens of Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Highgrove House, the flowers and foliage have been chosen for their symbolism.
