What is the Lion Rampant flag of Scotland used at Queen's funeral and why is it different from Saltire?

Billions of people tuned in to watch the world pay its final respects to Her Majesty, The Queen on Monday as her coffin made its way through the streets of London to its final resting place at the King George VI Memorial Chapel on the grounds of Windsor Castle.

Thousands of military personnel, alongside members of the Royal Family including King Charles, joined the sombre cortege which followed Her Majesty as the procession made its way from Westminster Abbey to the grounds of the castle.

The Queen's coffin was carried on top of the State Gun Carriage, as is tradition, and draped over her was a very special flag, alongside the priceless crown jewels, including the Imperial State Crown, the monarch's orb and the sceptre.
