The Queen’s funeral will conclude with a family service later today at Windsor Castle.
The stronghold has been continuously inhabited by 40 monarchs across almost 1,000 years - and it had special significance to the late Queen throughout her life.
As a teenager, the then-Princess Elizabeth was sent to the castle during World War Two as London faced the threat of bombing.
When a fire broke out in 1992, the Queen, famed for her stoicism, was seen looking emotional as she watched on helplessly.
The Queen used the vast residence to host to overseas monarchs and heads of state throughout her long reign.
More recently, she made it her permanent home during the coronavirus pandemic.
