Respects as the Queen is laid to rest
Corner then began, before the Queen’s coffin was transferred to the state hearse to begin the 20-mile journey to Windsor.
West London roads which would usually be filled with thousands of cars were silent, as members of the public watched on as the Queen made the journey home.
The hearse then travelled along the A308, where people in Runnymede and Old Windsor were given the chance to say goodbye to Her Majesty.
The procession then slowed as it arrived at Albert Road and Shaw Farm Gate, where it began the slow journey down the Long Walk toward St George’s Chapel at about 3.15pm, with members of the armed forces surrounding the coffin.
Tens of thousands of people had been waiting in
Windsor throughout the day, with the centre of the town left empty as people made their way to the Long Walk to watch the funeral on big screens.
A huge security operation was in place, while many mourners had overcome travel disruption on the roads and rail to be there on the day.
At about 2.30pm, access to the Long Walk was closed off as it would not have been safe to allow any more visitors in, and mourners were instead directed to a viewing area in Home Park.
Members of the Royal Family joined the procession as it arrived in the Quandrangle at Windsor Castle.
Minute guns were fired on the East Lawn and the Sebastopol Bell and the Curfew Tower Bell were tolled before the committal service took place.
