Today, the Queen's coffin makes its final journey from London to Windsor Castle, where the late monarch will be buried alongside her husband Prince Philip. This morning's grand state funeral at Westminster Abbey is just one aspect of the royal family's final goodbye to Queen Elizabeth II.
The plans for the funeral and mourning period of the Queen, referred to by the name Operation London Bridge, have been in place for years. Her death, on September 8, triggered a series of events, culminating in today, the day of her funeral, committal and burial.
Following the funeral, attended by a congregation of around 2,000 members of the royal family, world leaders and specially invited guests, the Queen's coffin will be led in procession through London once more. The King and other members of the Royal family will walk with the coffin to Hyde Park as members of the public watch on.
