Touching service detail for The Queen's funeral you might not notice

The funeral service for Queen Elizabeth II will take place at Westminster Abbey today, Monday, September 19.

More than 2,000 people will be in attendance including the Royal Family, heads of state and members of the public. But there is a detail within the ceremony that some may not notice but is significant to The Queen's life.

Funeral flowers in the abbey featured myrtle - which was used in the Queen's wedding bouquet as is royal tradition. The huge white and green displays of blooms included asiatic lilies, gladioli, alstroemeria, eustoma and foliage of English oak, weeping birch and the sprigs of myrtle.
