Queen Elizabeth II left Buckingham Palace for the last time. King Charles III, his sons Princes William and Harry, and other members of the royal family walked behind her coffin during the procession.
for the last time Wednesday, her coffin borne to the Houses of Parliament by a horse-drawn gun carriage and trailed by grieving family members.
Thousands of people who had waited for hours along The Mall outside the palace and other locations to line the route held up phones and cameras, and some wiped away tears, as the procession passed. Applause broke out as it went through Horse Guards Parade. "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you," Welby said as he read from the Book of John.Queen Elizabeth's coffin arrived at Westminster Hall on Sept. 14, 2022, where it will lie in state for four days until the late monarch's funeral. Eight pallbearers carried the oak and lead-lined coffin into Westminster Hall, placing it on a raised platform known as a catafalque.
Maj. Gen. Christopher Ghika, of the Household division, who organized the ceremonial aspects of the queen’s funeral said it was a sad day, "but it’s our last opportunity to do our duty for the queen and it’s our first opportunity to do it for the king, and that makes us all very proud."A map shows notable locations in London during the 10-day-mourning period for the late Queen Elizabeth II. Her state funeral will be held at Westminster Abbey on Sept. 19, 2022.
Since the early morning, people staked out prime viewing positions behind metal barriers along the Mall and other streets along the route. They stood or sat on folding chairs, umbrellas at the ready, takeout coffees in hand.
