Viewers in tears as Queen's corgis brought out to watch her coffin procession in Windsor

Viewers watching Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II make her final emotional journey were in floods of tears as they watched the procession to Windsor Castle. As the sovereign's coffin was brought to Windsor Castle for a committal service at St George's Chapel she was greeted for the last time by her beloved dogs.

As the colourful procession made its way to the private ceremony, corgis Muick and Sandy were waiting for the monarch, who passed away aged 96 on September 8. The adorable pooches were seen observing the majestic historical event this afternoon and viewers were 'broken' by the heartbreaking sight.

Mourners reacted with tearful emojis as they spotted the pair paying tribute to their loving owner, who was famed for her love of the short-legged herding dog and is believed to have owned between 50 and 60 during her 70 year reign. @MarkArfur tweeted: "Seeing the Queen’s Corgis has just absolutely broke me."
