Her Majesty The Queen made her final journey today from The Buckingham Palace to The Westminster Palace where she will Lie-in-State until the morning of the state funeral This 500-mile journey began from Balmoral Castle to Buckingham Palace and finally today ended at The Westminster Palace.
The ceremonial procession of her Majesty The Queen’s coffin began from Buckingham Palace today with King Charles III and his sons Princes William and Harry, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward walking behind the coffin.
It was a remarkable event with thousands of people lining the procession streets in London all the way to the Mall. Earlier on in Hyde Park, at 2.22pm, the ceremonial procession of the Queen’s coffin was marked with a 38 Gun Salute fired with each round marking each minute of the length of the procession.
The Queen’s Coffin was wheeled along the The Mall on a gun carriage and arrived at the Westminster Hall where several dignitaries were in attendance with all the members of the The Royal Family household.
The service was poignant King Charles III was visibly sad and it can be seen that the Queen’s other children and family were in in a sombre mood.
The next few days will be extremely busy in London and to make it easier for visitors that want to visit Westminster Palace before the state funeral, the Department of Digital Culture, Media and Sports have put out an update for anyone planning to visit the Lie-in-State of the Queen to prevent unnecessary congestion and queues.
