What will happen when the Queen's coffin arrives at Windsor Castle?
After days of lying-in-state, the body of the late Queen Elizabeth II is making its final journey as part of a grand state funeral. It travelled first to Westminster Abbey, for a religious service in front of a congregation of thousands, and is making its way to Windsor Castle for a more intimate committal service and, finally, a private burial.
She was carried to the abbey on the State Gun Carriage of the Royal Navy, drawn by 142 sailors. The carriage was last seen in 1979 for the funeral of Prince Philip's uncle, Lord Mountbatten and was used for the Queen's father, George VI, in 1952. The Queen's life-long sense of duty was remembered at her state funeral service, attended by 2,000 guests at Westminster Abbey.
The service was conducted by the Dean of Westminster David Hoyle, with the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby giving the sermon. Prime Minister Liz Truss read a lesson. The Queen's coffin was then drawn in a walking procession from Westminster Abbey to Wellington Arch, at London's Hyde Park Corner.
