Queen's funeral: Elizabeth II was buried beside Prince Philip - as royals bid farewell to monarch at procession and poignant services

In an emotional day for grieving members of the Royal Family, tens of thousands of people lined the streets to catch a glimpse of the procession carrying the Queen's coffin and millions more watched on television around the world.

The Queen was been buried beside her husband, Prince Philip, after a state funeral and a poignant chapel service - as the nation bid a final farewell to Britain's longest reigning monarch.

Elizabeth II was laid to rest at the King George VI Memorial Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle following a private burial on Monday evening.

It followed an emotional day for grieving members of the Royal Family, with tens of thousands of people lining the streets to catch a glimpse of the procession carrying the Queen's coffin and millions more watching on television around the world.

The King appeared close to tears during the funeral of his mother at Westminster Abbey, where world leaders - including US President Joe Biden, his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Liz Truss - were among the 2,000-strong congregation.

The Queen's coffin left Westminster Hall on Monday morning, where the final members of the public had queued overnight to see the monarch lying in state, and was carried on a gun carriage to the abbey in a procession including the monarch's children.

In a personal touch, the wreath adorning the Queen's coffin had a handwritten note written by the King, which read: "In loving and devoted memory. Charles R."

The wreath also included flowers requested by the King which were cut from the gardens of Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Highgrove House.

George and Charlotte walk behind coffin

Inside Westminster Abbey, King Charles III and Camilla, the Queen Consort, walked immediately behind the coffin.

They were followed by the Princess Royal and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, the Duke of York, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, and the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Nine-year-old Prince George and Princess Charlotte, aged seven, accompanied their parents, followed by their uncle and aunt, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Before the service, the Princess of Wales could be seen holding Charlotte's hand, and giving her a reassuring touch on the shoulder.

We Aill Meet Again'

Delivering the sermon, the Archbishop of Canterbury told mourners the "grief" felt around the world over the Queen's death "arises from her abundant life and loving service".

"She was joyful, present to so many, touching a multitude of lives," the Most Rev Justin Welby said.

"People of loving service are rare in any walk of life. Leaders of loving service are still rarer."

"Her late Majesty's broadcast during the COVID lockdown ended with 'We will meet again', words of hope from a song of Vera Lynn."

He added: "All who follow the Queen's example, and inspiration of trust and faith in God, can with her say: 'We will meet again'."
