The coffin with the body of the British Queen Elizabeth II, who is passed away on September 8was transferred, during a solemn ceremony, from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey.
In the solemn march, the coffin was accompanied by King Charles, Princes William and Harry and other members of the British royal family, including the Queen’s children – Princess Anne and Princes Edward and Andrew.
More than 1,000 members of the British Army, dressed in ceremonial uniforms, took part in the procession.
During the procession, volleys were fired every minute in Hyde Park, and at the same time the bells of Big Ben were rung.
The queen’s coffin was covered with a royal standard, and a crown was placed on the coffin.
A large number of citizens gathered along the streets where the procession moved to see off the ceremony, which lasted about 40 minutes, and it was also possible to follow the live broadcast on the screens installed in London’s Hyde Park.
The casket will be on display in Westminster Abbey, and citizens will be able to pay their respects to the late queen until Monday, when Elizabeth II’s funeral is scheduled.
