The coffin of Queen Elizabeth II competes a procession at walking pace through central London and is bound in a hearse for her final resting place at Windsor Castle.

After being pulled more than a mile (1.6 kilometers) from Westminster Abbey on a gun carriage by 142 Royal Navy sailors, the coffin is transferred to a hearse at Wellington Arch, near Buckingham Palace.

Dozens of Buckingham Place staff stand in a neat line in the palace courtyard, and many bow or curtsey as the procession passes by.

The monarch’s coffin will travel by car the 20 miles (32 kilometers) to Windsor Castle, where she will be interred later today alongside her husband, Prince Philip, who died last year.
