  • Queen Elizabeth's state funeral was held Monday at Westminster Abbey in London.
  • The Queen's coffin made its way from London to Windsor for burial, passing Buckingham Palace.

As Queen Elizabeth's coffin made its way from her funeral service at Westminster Abbey to her final resting place at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle on Monday, Buckingham Palace staff members lined up outside the palace to pay their respects.

Getty Images photographer Carl Court captured powerful images of the royal household's staff members honoring their late boss during the funeral procession. Some staffers wore black funeral formalwear, while others appeared in their work uniforms.

Buckingham Palace is the administrative headquarters of the ruling monarch. It has 775 rooms total, including 19 State rooms, 52 bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices, and 78 bathrooms. The monarchy, also known as "the firm," consists of an estimated 1,133 staff, volunteer, and ceremonial roles, Insider's Hannah Beckler and Mikhaila Friel reported.
