The coffin bearing Queen Elizabeth II’s body was lowered into the royal vault on Monday after a ceremony at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.

The elaborate occasion was witnessed by millions of her subjects, world leaders and other people watching the broadcasts around the world.

Elizabeth’s son, King Charles III, and other members of the royal family are expected to witness the actual burial in the King George VI Memorial Chapel, which is a small alcove on the side of the main building. 

The queen will eventually be joined there by her husband, Prince Philip, after his body is moved from the royal vault where he was interred after his death last year.

But Buckingham Palace said it would not be releasing any other details about the “deeply personal family occasion.”

Unlike the public funeral at Westminster Abbey earlier in the day attended by world leaders and others, the final service for Queen Elizabeth II in the chapel was a more private service.

The farewell for the monarch — whose 70-year reign began in the aftermath of World War II, outlasted the Cold War, and spanned the dawn of the space race to the invention of the internet — also cemented the rule of its new one.

Her coffin was carried on a Royal Navy gun carriage from the funeral service to the Wellington Arch near Hyde Park. It was then transferred to a state hearse for the journey to Windsor.

Before the funeral service, Westminster Abbey’s tenor bell tolled 96 times, once for each year of Elizabeth’s life, before her coffin was carried inside for the state funeral.

Queen Elizabeth’s eldest son, Charles, aged 73 is finally taking the reins of the kingdom.
