Queen Elizabeth II sadly passed away on 8 September, but ahead of her death, the monarch gave her input on one very important element of her funeral and final journey.

The State Hearse, which Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II travelled from RAF Northolt to Buckingham Palace in and will also be used for the funeral, was designed by The Royal Household and Jaguar Land Rover, with Her Majesty consulted on the plans.

The hearse features wide windows along the side and back, a see-through glass roof and three bright spotlights inside along one roof edge, illuminating the raised coffin. The vehicle is finished in Royal Claret, the same colour as the official Royal and State vehicles kept in the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace, and used by Members of the Royal Family on official duties.

The vehicle features Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth’s Personal Royal Cypher and was designed to allow members of the public to have a clear view of the coffin as it travels through London and Windsor.
Queen Elizabeth's husband, Prince Philip, also had a say in his funeral car. The Duke of Edinburgh opted to make his final journey in a Land Rover Defender TD5 130 painted in military green.
