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."
