Monday, September 19 saw the country bid its final farewell to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
The Queen was laid to rest alongside her husband of 73 years, Prince Philip, after a historic funeral at Westminster Abbey ended with a Committal Service at Windsor Castle.
Many may be wondering if they can pay their respects to The Queen in future – particularly if they could not join ‘The Queue’ to see Her Majesty lying-in-state before the funeral.
So, where is The Queen’s final resting place? And will people be allowed to visit?
Here is everything you need to know.
Although the funeral took place in London, The Queen was laid to rest in the King George VI Memorial Chapel in Windsor.
The chapel, built in 1969, is part of St George’s Chapel, set on the grounds of Windsor Castle – the estate The Queen moved to permanently for the last few years of her life.
It is named after The Queen’s father, who died from a coronary thrombosis in 1952, aged 56.
Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother was buried in the chapel after she died aged 101 in 2002.
Princess Margaret also died in 2002, seven weeks before The Queen Mother. Her ashes were brought to the chapel following The Queen Mother’s death so she could be with her parents.
After The Queen was buried in the chapel, Prince Philip was moved to be in the chapel with her. Previously, he was interred in the Royal Vault, also at St George’s Chapel.
