Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin lowered into vault ahead of private burial Queen Elizabeth’s coffin was lowered into a vault at Windsor Castle, her final resting place, on Monday after a day of inimitable pageantry that drew world leaders to her funeral and huge crowds to the streets to say farewell to a revered monarch. 

Later the attention switched to St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, where some 800 guests attended a committal service ahead of her burial. 

Later in the evening, in a private family service, the coffin of Elizabeth and her husband of more than seven decades, Prince Philip, who died last year aged 99, will be buried together in the same chapel where her parents and sister, Princess Margaret, also rest.
