The Welsh people at Queen Elizabeth II's funeral

Queen Elizabeth II's funeral at Westminster Abbey today, Monday, September 19, saw 2000 people attend the event. The doors of the Abbey opened at 8am to allow the huge number of mourners to take their seats and there was a select group of Welsh dignitaries, politicians and more in the congregation.

The Queen's lying in state ended at 6.30am this morning after thousands queued over the weekend to pay their respects. Shortly after 10.35am, the coffin was lifted and carried in procession to the state gun carriage of the Royal Navy positioned outside the north door.

The 123-year-old gun carriage then set off at 10.44am, pulled by 98 Royal Navy sailors using ropes in a tradition that dates back to the funeral of Queen Victoria, with the route to the Abbey lined by members of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines. A tri-service guard of honour took place on Parliament Square, accompanied by the band of the Royal Marines. Find out more about the full order of service, here.
