Tears, singing and applause on emotional day of Queen's funeral

On Monday, September 19, Queen Elizabeth II made her final journey. The funeral took place at 11am at Westminster Abbey and Her Majesty the Queen will be buried with her late husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, at the King George VI memorial chapel, located inside St George's Chapel.
