Windsor service praises Queen's ‘unstinting service'
A committal service for The Queen has been held in St George's Chapel, where she will be laid to rest.
Led by The Dean of Windsor, it was attended by 800 people, including royalty and staff.
The Queen will be buried alongside her husband The Duke of Edinburgh at a private burial.
The Hearse arrived in Windsor following her in London.
It processed through The Berkshire town, with flowers still on its bonnet and roof from well-wishers who had thrown them as The Royal cortege made its way from Wellington Arch .
The route avoided motorways to allow as many people as possible to pay their last respects.
Thousands of people on that route broke out into applause as The Hearse passed them.
The Procession made its way about One Mile along The Long Walk up to Windsor Castle , with members of The Armed Forces lining The Way .
King Charles III then walked behind His Mother 's coffin, accompanied by The Queen 's other Children - The Princess Royal, The Duke of York and The Earl of Wessex.
The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Sussex and Peter Phillips also joined them in The Procession to St George's Chapel.
The Queen 's coffin, draped in The Royal standard with Imperial State Crown, Orb and Sceptre atop, was lifted from The State hearse into The chapel where it sat sit on a catafalque.
The Dean, The Very Rev David Conner , began The Ceremony by praising her " life of unstinting service" to The Nation and Commonwealth.
He Said : " In The midst of our rapidly changing and frequently troubled world, her calm and dignified presence has given us confidence to face The Future , as she did, with courage and with hope. "
He then read a passage from The Book of Revelation which contains The Words " I Am Alpha and Omega, The Beginning and The end".
The Crown jeweller removed The instruments of State - The Imperial State crown, The Orb and Sceptre - from The Coffin , before they were placed on The altar.
King Charles then placed on The Coffin a small crimson regimental flag called The Camp Colour - traditionally used to indicate The location of The commanding officer.
The Queen 's coffin was then lowered into The Royal vault, before The Sovereign's Piper played a lament.
Guests at The Service include The late Queen's staff past and present, alongside Prime Ministers of countries of which The monarch was head of State .
In a touching gesture, The Queen 's faithful corgis Muick and Sandy also made an appearance at The Castle .
Later at a private burial service, The Queen will be laid to rest with her late husband Prince Philip in The King George VI Memorial Chapel. That service will only be attended by The Royal Family .
Earlier, King Charles III walked behind His Mother 's coffin as it processed from Westminster Hall to The abbey.
About 2,000 people gathered at The Service , including world leaders and royalty.
This Was The First State funeral since Sir Winston Churchill 's in 1965 and was The biggest ceremonial event since World War Two.
Planning of The Order of service for The Ceremony was discussed with The Queen over A Number of years.
St George's Chapel is where The Queen worshipped at Easter and celebrated baptisms, confirmations and weddings during her Reign .
