The Queen’s committal service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle will feature traditions symbolising the end of Elizabeth II’s reign.

A congregation of 800 people - including the King, the royal family and realm prime ministers - was set to gather in the Gothic church on Monday (September 19).

The service was due to take place at 4pm, hours after the state funeral at Westminster Abbey. The Queen’s coffin was driven from London to Windsor in the state hearse and made its way up the Long Walk, which was lined with members of the armed forces.

The King and other royals joined the procession on foot behind the hearse in the castle’s quadrangle, with the Queen Consort, the Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Sussex and the Countess of Wessex following by car.
