The Queen made her final journey through London on Monday (September 19) followed by her grieving family on streets lined with thousands who swamped the capital to bide farewell to the monarch as her coffin was carried on a Royal Navy gun carriage to Westminster Abbey for a state funeral,
Royal staff also paid their respects as the Queen passed Buckingham Palace on her way to a commital service at Windsor.
