The state funeral for Queen Elizabeth II, who died at the age of 96 on Sept. 8, was held at Westminster Abbey on Sept. 19, and members of the royal family, as well as politicians and celebrities, attended. Despite the British reputation for “stiff upper lip,” here are the most touching moments.
Inside the Abbey, Prince George and Princess Charlotte stood with their mom Kate Middleton at the funeral of their great-grandma, Queen Elizabeth II.
President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden arrived at the Abbey to pay their respects. On Twitter, the first lady paid tribute to the late monarch, writing, “We will never forget her warmth, kindness, and the conversations we shared. May God grant her eternal rest.
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, arrived at the Abbey to await the Queen’s coffin’s arrival.
The wreath on top of the Queen’s casket contained myrtle grown from a sprig from her wedding bouquet from her and Prince Philip’s 1947 nuptials, according to CNN.
