It was one of the most extraordinary days in British history, a ceremony filled with pomp and splendour and watched by four billion people around the world.
The Queen’s funeral, on September 19, 2022, stretched from Westminster to Windsor and involved tens of thousands of people as well as the estimated two million who flooded the streets.
Today, Elizabeth II lies at rest alongside her husband Prince Philip, at the King George VI Memorial Chapel, in Windsor Castle.
Here, we feature some of the most extraordinary and moving images from a day that few in Britain will ever forget.
An historic event, the funeral saw upwards of a million people come together in Central London and around the royal palaces to pay their respects.
A grand procession travelled through the area with members of the Royal Family accompanying the Queen on her final journey.
Those from royal Europe’s royal families were visible during the ceremony, including Carl XVI Gustaf, King of Sweden, and Queen Margrethe II of Denmark and her son Crown Prince Frederick.
Prince Albert of Monaco was also present, as were King Harald V of Norway, Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg, King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, King Philippe of Belgium, King Felipe VI of Spain.
The Royal Standard flag, which represents both the sovereign and the United Kingdom, was draped over the Queen’s coffin.

Charles III was crowned with the St Edward’s Crown, a beautiful piece encrusted with more than 400 solid gemstones and made of solid gold.
