Members of the royal family have attend a private burial service for Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle. The Queen has been laid to rest in the Royal Vault in the King George VI Memorial Chapel alongside Prince Philip and her parents, King George VI and the Queen Mother. The private service followed the state funeral at Westminster Abbey, which was attended by more than 2,000 people, including world leaders, ambassadors, royalty and members of the public. Thousands of people had earlier lined the streets of London to watch the funeral procession as the Queen’s coffin was taken on a gun carriage from Westminster Hall to the Abbey. After the funeral the Queen’s coffin was taken to Wellington Arch, where it was placed inside the State Hearse and began its final journey to Windsor Castle. The royal family will now enter seven days of mourning, although the public mourning period has ended.
