Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral took place in London on Monday, Sept. 19, with mourners paying their respects to Britain's longest-reigning monarch who died on Sept. 8 at 96. The state funeral was held after 10 official days of national mourning and started with a service at Westminster Abbey, which was attended by 2,000 guests.
The coffin, draped in the Royal Standard flag with the Imperial State Crown, which has almost 3,000 diamonds, sitting atop it as well as an orb and scepter, then made its way to Windsor Castle, where she'll be buried during a private family ceremony. Her final resting place is alongside her husband of 73 years, the Duke of Edinburgh, who died in April 2021.
