Queen Elizabeth II's coffin is on its way to Windsor Castle after her state funeral was held on Monday. She will be laid to rest later today.
Hundreds of thousands of people lined streets to get a glimpse of the hearse carrying her coffin. Mourners tossed flowers and other items as the hearse drove through the streets of London.
Elizabeth's coffin departed Wellington Arch after she was led on foot by the royal family out of Westminster Abbey following her state funeral. King Charles III Prince Harry and Prince William were among those in the walking procession to Wellington Arch.
In addition to the family, friends and world leaders who gathered in Westminster Abbey, the British government erected large public viewing areas for the public to watch the funeral service. Monday has also been declared a federal holiday in the U.K. and a number of Commonwealth nations.
President Joe Biden was among the dozens of world leaders who were in attendance Monday. Political leaders waited inside Westminster Abbey as Elizabeth's family followed behind Elizabeth's coffin as her body was carried in.
“We gather from across the nation, from the Commonwealth, and from the nations of the world, to mourn our loss, to remember her long life of selfless service, and in sure confidence to commit her to the mercy of God our maker and redeemer," said Dean of Westminster David Hoyle.
A committal service for Elizabeth will take place at St George’s Chapel later today. That is when the royal family will say their final goodbyes privately.
