From the sight of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s remains being borne through the streets of London to Westminster Abbey on the Victorian State Gun Carriage, pulled along by 142 naval ratings, to that of her coffin quietly, gently sinking into the royal vault beneath St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, Monday provided a day of extraordinary images that many millions of people watching all across the world will remember for decades to come.

It was in London, however, that the full pomp and ceremony befitting The Queen’s funeral service and last journey was on greatest display, as world leaders gathered at Westminster Abbey.

Outside, vast crowds of ordinary people from every walk of life had also gathered, lining the streets and roads to pay their respects to their beloved monarch.

The solemn day was also a day not just to say a last farewell to Her Majesty as her remains passed by on her final journey, but also for everyone to lend their support to His Majesty, King Charles III and the rest of the Royal family, as the Second Elizabethan Age reached its end.

Here are just a few of the unforgettable sights and images of a day that will live long in the memory of all who bore witness.
