After a majestic funeral service at Westminster Abbey, Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin was interred alongside her husband, late Prince Philip, at a private burial at St. George’s Chapel on Monday evening.
« The Queen was buried together with the Duke of Edinburgh, at The King George VI Memorial Chapel, » the Buckingham Palace stated on the official Royal Family website.
Earlier, the roughly 40-km route by road from Westminster Abbey in London, the site of a grand state funeral attended by thousands earlier in the day, to Windsor included the coffin processing by state gun carriage and then in the state hearse, a customised Jaguar, to the steps of the chapel.
Thousands lined the streets on the route of this final procession, which Buckingham Palace said had been drawn up with the public in mind, and the Order of Service for the Committal Service was discussed with the late monarch over a number of years.
« We have come together to commit into the hands of God the soul of his servant Queen Elizabeth, said the Dean of Windsor, who led the service.
« In the midst of our rapidly changing and frequently troubled world, her calm and dignified presence has given us confidence to face the future, as she did, with courage and with hope.
