Queen Elizabeth II, the United Kingdom's longest-reigning queen, was laid to rest Monday morning in London's old Westminster Abbey. The guest list for the service featured around 500 foreign dignitaries, including Indian President Droupadi Murmu, US President Biden, Ukraine's First Lady, and approximately 100 other state dignitaries. The large stream of VIPs called into question an unparalleled security operation that had been planned for decades.
Queen Elizabeth died on September 8, at the age of 96, at her favourite country retreat, Balmoral Castle in Scotland. Her eldest son, now King Charles III, has led the royal family, nation, and world in honouring her legacy and ushering in a new era that will likely provide new challenges for both the kingdom and its Commonwealth.
Following the funeral on Monday, the queen's coffin was carried in a strolling procession to Hyde Park. It was then moved to a state hearse for the journey to St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, the queen's last resting place, where her late husband Prince Philip and sister Princess Margaret are also buried.
