Queens’ coffin arrives Windsor Castle for burial

by Our Reporter

 

Queen Elizabeth’s coffin is on its final journey to Windsor Castle, with huge crowds lining the route

It is being driven in the state hearse up the Long Walk after an elaborate and sombre procession though London

Involving 3,000 military personnel, it passed many of the capital’s most famous landmarks

Earlier, a funeral service was held at Westminster Abbey – the building in which the Queen was married, and crowned

During his sermon, the Archbishop of Canterbury said the late Queen touched “a multitude of lives” during her 70-year reign

Hundreds of dignitaries were there, including the Queen’s former prime ministers as well as US President Biden and French President Macron

Now we see the procession passing into the Quadrangle of Windsor Castle into Engine Court.

It will now pass the Norman Arch, Chapel Hill, Parade Ground and the Horseshoe Cloister Arch – where a guard of honour awaits the funeral party.

King Charles III and other senior royals are expected to join the procession.

After all the glamour of the procession at London, there’s hundreds of people at this rather intimate procession.

A place that she called home and where she and the Duke of Edinburgh spent lockdowns during the pandemic.

And where, of course, she sat alone at St George’s Chapel for the funeral of her husband, just a year ago.
