Queen’s funeral: Committal service at Windsor Castle beginning

The Queen’s coffin has been carried into St George’s Chapel for the committal service.

This will be led by the Dean of Windsor, David Conner.

It starts with the coffin procession entering the chapel and proceeding down the nave to lay the Queen’s coffin in the quire.

Most of the congregation were not at Westminster Abbey earlier in the day, and this second service has been designed with royal staff in mind.

Many are past or present employees of the Queen’s estates.

Notable politicians are expected to be in attendance alongside the Royal Family and members of their households.

The simple service now taking place at St George’s Chapel was all agreed with the Queen before her death. It will be led by David Conner, Dean of Windsor.

The Blessing will be pronounced by Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury.

Family

Here, St George’s Chapel, is where the day’s events will come to a close.

This evening, the Queen will be laid to rest alongside her late husband, the Duke of Edinburgh.

She’ll be buried in the royal vault of King George VI’s Memorial Chapel – part of St George’s Chapel.

That will be in a service for the Royal Family which will be small-scale and highly private in nature.
