A two-minute silence is observed across the United Kingdom in memory of Queen Elizabeth II as the late monarch’s state funeral service drew to a close in Westminster Abbey.
Britain’s royal family, along with hundreds of world leaders and dignitaries gathered at the Gothic abbey in London for the service Monday, lowers their heads as Household Cavalry trumpeters play “The Last Post.”
The congregation then observes a two-minute silence before singing the national anthem.
A lament, played by the Queen’s Piper, brings the service to a close.
After the service, the queen’s coffin was to be laid to rest at Windsor Castle .
