The youngest members of the Royal family and great-grandchildren of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, were also seen during the funeral ceremony.

As the funeral procession entered the abbey, world leaders, politicians and foreign royalty stood as her coffin was carried up the aisle to be placed on a catafalque, draped in the royal standard with the Imperial State Crown, orb and sceptre on top.

New Prime Minister of Britain, Liz Truss, attended the Funeral along with her husband Hugh O’Leary at Westminster Abbey.

About 100 presidents and heads of government joined the 2,000-strong congregation at the abbey, as well as US President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, and there were French President Emmanuel Macron, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol and Chinese Vice-President Wang Qishan.
