The burial saw the Queen reunited with Prince Philip as she was interred alongside “her strength and stay” in the chapel.The official website of the royal family said a private burial took place this evening, conducted by the Dean of Windsor.

"The Queen was buried together with the Duke of Edinburgh, at The King George VI Memorial Chapel," the statement said.

The coffin was seen by the public for the last time after the committal service at St George’s Chapel earlier on Monday when it was lowered into the vault.Crowds lined the Long Walk to watch the procession as Her Majesty arrived at Windsor Castle ahead of the service. Her Majesty’s coffin was brought by state hearse to Windsor after a state funeral at Westminster Abbey as millions in London, the UK and around the world say a final farewell to the late monarch.

The Archbishop of Canterbury hailed the Queen’s “abundant life and loving service" as he delivered the sermon, adding: “She was joyful, present to so many, touching a multitude of lives.”

Her coffin was later carried in a procession from the abbey past Buckingham Palace to Hyde Park Corner, from where the late monarch made her final journey to Windsor Castle.

World leaders including US President Joe Biden and France’s Emmanuel Macron and a host of other leaders are among 2,000 people gathered for the sombre and historic service. Members of European royal families and key figures from public life are among the congregation.

Huge crowds flocked to London, Windsor and royal sites throughout the UK on the national bank holiday, with the service set to draw millions of TV viewers across the globe.
