People have been left heartbroken after seeing the striking difference between the Mall during the Platinum Jubilee and today, as mourners now stand where happy celebrations took place just months ago.
As the Queen left Buckingham Palace for the final time this afternoon, crowds gathered to watch the funeral procession.
The late monarch's coffin was carried by a gun carriage of the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery to Westminster Palace, where she will lie in state for four days ahead of the state funeral on Monday.
