The Queen's coffin has been pictured for the final time as it was lowered into the royal vault following a committal service surrounded by her family. It was carried into St George's Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle for the service after thousands of people turned out to pay their respects to a monarch who served them for 70 years.

Around 800 people, including members of the Queen's Household and Windsor estate staff, attended the ceremony at the chapel.

Prior to the final hymn, the Imperial State Crown, the orb and the sceptre were removed from her coffin and placed on the altar. The King placed a flag - the Queen's company camp colour of the Grenadier Guards - on the coffin.

The Lord Chamberlain, the most senior official in the royal household, then broke his "Wand of Office", signifying the end of his service to the sovereign, and placed it on the casket before it slowly descended into the royal vault.
