Queen Elizabeth II left London for the last time and embarked on a journey to Windsor Castle, her final resting place, following her funeral on Monday morning.
The Queen's coffin was first carried out of Westminster Abbey, where her official state funeral took place. Around 2,000 people attended the ceremony to pay their final respects to the late monarch, who died aged 96 on September 8, after a 70-year reign.
King Charles III led a procession behind his mother's coffin from Westminster Hall to the abbey ahead of the service that began at 11 a.m. BST, or 6 a.m. ET.
Funeral attendees included members of the royal family, such as King Charles II and Queen Consort Camilla, and heads of state from across the globe such as US President Joe Biden and the First Lady of the United States, Jill Biden.
Also in attendance were royal families from other nations, including Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako of Japan, and Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco.
Following a ceremony conducted by Dr. David Hoyle, Dean of Westminster, and a sermon by Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, a two-minute silence was observed in Westminster Abbey and across the UK.
The coffin was then taken outside to be loaded into the state hearse, watched closely by members of the royal family.
After the Queen's coffin was placed in the state gun carriage of the Royal Navy, it traveled along The Mall with the Gentlemen at Arms.
As the Queen's coffin passed Buckingham Palace for the final time, staff were seen standing outside, saying their final goodbyes.
The coffin was transported to Wellington Arch at Hyde Park Corner, with Charles and other members of the royal family walking behind it.
As the coffin moved through the arch, King Charles III was seen appearing to salute his mother from the car following the processional.
For one last time during the funeral in London, the national anthem was played and a royal salute was given as the hearse departed.
At Windsor Castle, the Coldstream Guards waited outside the Garter Tower for the Queen's arrival.
The state hearse was greeted by thousands of supporters and mourners who gathered along the Long Walk in Windsor Great Park to pay their respects to the late monarch.
The funeral procession continued the journey to Windsor Castle, where the Queen will later be buried during an intimate ceremony with only the closest member of the royal family in attendance, according to a Buckingham Palace statement sent to Insider.
The statement also confirmed that the Queen will be laid to rest with her late husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, in King George VI's chapel at Windsor.
