Liputan6.com, London – The funeral procession of Queen Elizabeth II on Monday, September 19, brought together leaders and a large public from around the world. International citizens, including those of Great Britain, officially said goodbye to the 96-year-old Queen of England.

Queen Elizabeth II died on September 8 at her residence at Balmoral Castle, Scotland. His son, King Charles III, then ascended the throne, taking over as head of state in England, Canada and other Commonwealth countries.

The funeral was the first in Britain since that of Winston Churchill in 1965 and one of the most significant events in modern British history. The bell rings 96 times, one minute at a time for each year of Elizabeth’s life, until the service.

A total of 142 members of the Royal Navy respectfully pulled the carriage carrying the Queen’s flag-draped coffin to Westminster Abbey. At the church, around 2,000 people, including world leaders and medical professionals, mourned the death of the late queen.

Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin was draped in the Royal Standard, a type of state flag, and decorated with the glittering Imperial State Crown of nearly 3,000 diamonds, as well as the Orb and Scepter of the sovereign.

“Here, where Queen Elizabeth was married and crowned, we gather from all over the country, the Commonwealth and the nations of the world, to mourn our loss, to remember her long selfless service and with the greatest confidence to leave him. to the mercy of God our creator and redeemer,” the medieval monastery’s dean, David Hoyle, told mourners at the opening of the funeral.

The service ended with two minutes of silence across England. The audience then sang the national anthem May God save the king.
