The state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II was held on Monday morning, and she will be laid to rest in the evening following a private ceremony.
She will be buried alongside her husband, Prince Philip, to whom she was married for 73 years. The monarch's coffin will take the same route through the quire of St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle as he did when he passed away in 2021.
On Monday, the Queen's coffin will be lowered into St George’s Chapel’s Royal Vault, a burial chamber 16 feet deep where Philip's coffin currently resides.

Both coffins will then be retrieved and buried at their final resting place at the King George VI Memorial Chapel, which is an annex of St George's Chapel.
As reported by the Daily Record, the Queen was only 13 years old when she met Philip, who was an officer in the Royal Navy.
The couple wed in 1947, and Philip vowed to stand by the monarch throughout her reign at her Coronation in 1953.
At the time, he stated: “I, Philip Duke of Edinburgh, do become your liege man of life and limb, and of earthly worship; and faith and truth will I bear unto you, to live and die, against all manner of folks. So help me God.”
With the Queen being laid to rest on Monday, she and her husband will once again be reunited.
It was the wish of the Queen to be laid to rest at the King George VI Memorial Chapel next to her father George VI, her mother Elizabeth, and her sister Princess Margaret.
