Members of The Public will be able to see The Final Resting Place of Queen Elizabeth Ii as Windsor Castle reopens.
The former monarch was buried with her husband, Prince Philip , and alongside The Remains of her mother, father and sister in St George's Chapel following her state funeral on 19 September.
On Saturday, Buckingham Palace released a photo of The Ledger stone that marks The Spot The Family are interred.

All four royals were members of The Order of The Garter, The Most senior order of knighthood in The British honours system. The Order of chivalry dates back to Medieval Times and is made up of The monarch and other senior figures, including ex-prime ministers and former military chiefs.
The Queen 's sister Princess Margaret , who died in 2002, was cremated and her ashes were initially placed in The Royal Vault of St George's Chapel, before being moved to The George VI memorial chapel with her parents' coffins when The Queen Mother died a few weeks later.
