Britain And The World Say Farewell To Queen Elizabeth

Queen Elizabeth's coffin will be taken west by road to Windsor Castle, with many thousands expected to line the route.

Queen Elizabeth II will be laid to rest on Monday, after a state funeral attended by leaders from around the world and a historic last ceremonial journey through the packed streets of London.

After queueing all night, the final members of the public filed through parliament's cavernous Westminster Hall to see the queen's coffin lying in state before the doors closed at 6:30 am (0530 GMT).

Chrissy Heerey, a serving member of the Royal Air Force who joined the marathon queue twice, was the last person through the doors and described the experience as "amazing".

"When they came to me and said, 'right, you're the last person', I said, really?!" she told AFP, before heading off to join the crowds for the coffin's procession through central London.
