The funeral followed a national mourning period that began on Sept. 9, which saw hundreds of thousands of people laying flowers at royal palaces across Britain and queuing for hours to see the late Queen lying in state at Westminster Hall.
“Here, where Queen Elizabeth was married and crowned, we gather from across the nation, from the Commonwealth, and from the nations of the world, to mourn our loss, to remember her long life of selfless service …” said David Hoyle, dean of the Westminster Abbey, who led the funeral service broadcast live.
A two-minute national silence was observed in remembrance of the late Queen at the end of the state funeral.
Following the service at Westminster Abbey, the Queen’s coffin will be taken to Windsor Castle where she will be buried together with her husband Prince Philip, who died last year at 99. ■
