Today, the UK’s most important church, packed with 2,000 VIPs including prime ministers, presidents and the royal family, was quiet except for the sound of hymns and prayers at a funeral service led by Her Majesty herself before she died.
The Queen made her final and saddest journey from Westminster Hall to the church where she was married and crowned as Britain mourned its longest-serving monarch and royals bid farewell to a beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
Her coffin was placed near the altar with the crown, orb and scepter on top surrounded by flowers chosen by the King from gardens he loved. A card in the flowers above the casket read simply: “In loving and devoted memory. Charles R.”
The Archbishop of Canterbury hailed the Queen’s “abundant life and love” as he delivered the homily at her state funeral, adding: “She was joyful, present to so many, touching so many lives.”
State trumpeters from the Household Cavalry played the Last Post after the Archbishop of Canterbury’s eulogy over the Queen’s coffin and the benediction delivered by the Dean of Westminster. There was a two minute silence across the country before the Revue was played by the trumpeters before the National Anthem was sung by the congregation.
King Charles III looked tearful at parts of the service, while his sister Princess Anne looked at him with concern and care before turning her gaze to her mother’s coffin and tiara. Prince Andrew looked emotional – after fighting back tears as the family walked behind the Queen’s coffin through Parliament Square.
