The Queen's state funeral took place at Westminster Abbey in central London following seven days of lying in state at Westminster Hall. The Queen's coffin was processed on a gun carriage to the Abbey, pulled by naval ratings (sailors) using ropes.
The televised service, which included a national two minutes silence, saw King Charles and senior members of the royal family following behind the coffin.
