Millions of people will have watched the Queen's state funeral as it was televised to the nation and beyond. On Monday, September 19, Queen Elizabeth II was laid to rest following her death on September 8. Buckingham Palace announced 11 days ago that Her Majesty had passed 'peacefully' aged 96 at Balmoral.
Buckingham Palace announced the news that day, at around 6.30pm, hours after sharing a statement saying doctors were concerned for her health. As midnight struck, the country entered a 10-day period of national mourning as Charles immediately became King upon his beloved mother's death.
And for the last four days, the Queen lay in state in Westminster Hall where mourners have filed past her coffin to pay their final respects to the late monarch. On Friday, the Queen’s children took part in their own vigil around their mother’s coffin, and the following day (Saturday) Her Majesty's eight grandchildren did the same.
