In the last post Queen Elizabeth II's coffin had just arrived at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday night accompanied by her daughter Princess Anne after a 500 mile journey from her beloved home in Balmoral. On Wednesday 14th September 2022 the Queen's coffin was transferred from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey in a procession. The Queen's four children King Charles III, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward, her three eldest grandsons Prince William, Prince Harry, Peter Phillips along with her nephew David Armstrong-Jones, Earl Snowdon (son of Princess Margaret) walked behind the coffin just as they did for their father Prince Philip last year. The children handed over their beloved mother to the state where the Queen's body will lie in state for the public to view her coffin until her funeral on Monday morning (evening for myself).

Once the coffin reached Westminster the entire royal family was there to farewell the Queen. A small service was held in honour of Queen Elizabeth II.
