Queen's coffin being taken to Windsor Castle

September 19, 2022 18:55

The coffin of Queen Elizabeth II has competed 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 from Westminster Abbey on a gun carriage by 142 Royal Navy sailors, the coffin was transferred to a hearse at Wellington Arch, near Buckingham Palace.

The monarch's coffin will go by car the 32 kilometers to Windsor Castle, where she will be interred later Monday alongside her husband Prince Philip, who died last year. -- Agncies
