The funeral of Queen Elizabeth II took place at Westminster Abbey this morning with more than 2,000 people in attendance.
Soldiers from the Queen's Company, 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards, were chosen to lift the coffin during the service and it was adorned with a wreath requested by King Charles III. On the wreath was a handwritten note from The King to his late mother.
It read: "In loving and devoted memory. Charles R."

Cut from the gardens of Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Highgrove House, the flowers and foliage have been chosen for their symbolism.
They include rosemary, for remembrance, and myrtle cut from a plant which was grown from a sprig of myrtle in the Queen's wedding bouquet. Myrtle is often seen as a symbol of a happy marriage.
Also included are English oak to symbolise the strength of love, pelargoniums, garden roses, autumnal hydrangea, sedum, dahlias and scabious. These are in shades of gold, pink and deep burgundy, with touches of white, to reflect the Royal Standard.
Also at the King's request, the wreath has been made in a sustainable way, in a nest of English moss and oak branches. No use of floral foam has been used.
Mourners began arriving at Westminster Abbey from 8am this morning as thousands of people flocked to royal sites around London. All public viewing areas for the funeral procession in the capital were full by just after 9am.
