The Queen’s funeral is being held in the same historic church where she was married in 1947, and crowned five years later.
King Charles III led senior royals walking behind the coffin of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II coffin, at hertoday. He was joined by his siblings and his sons, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex, in the procession from Westminster Hall, where the coffin has been lying in state, to Westminster Abbey for the funeral service.
King Charles III and the Princess Royal walked behind their mother’s coffin as it was conveyed from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey for the state funeral.The Princess Royal and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, the Duke of York, and the Earl and Countess of Wessex also walked behind the Queen’s coffin, as it was carried to Westminster Abbey on the State Gun Carriage.
When the procession entered Westminster Abbey, the Princess of Wales joined to walk alongside her husband, along with their two eldest children, Prince George, nine, and Princess Charlotte, seven. Their little brother, four-year-old Prince Louis, was deemed too young to join. Now that their father is first in line to the throne, the young royals will likely play a more prominent role on carefully selected occasions.
Following much speculation over Prince Harry’s attire, he wore a morning suit, rather than military dress, to walk behind his grandmother’s coffin. Harry lost his military appointments when he stepped down as a senior working royal. The elaborate service has been carefully orchestrated to pay tribute to the Queen’s remarkable reign, and a lifetime of service. Ahead of the funeral, Westminster Abbey’s Tenor Bell was tolled once a minute for 96 minutes, one toll for each year of the Queen’s life.
