It has been ready for her last journey for more than 30 years: Elizabeth II († 96) was buried in her coffin in St. George’s Chapel (Windsor) only eleven days following her death. In addition to her beloved husband Prince Philip († 99).
Until then, the coffin with the Queen will be visited by thousands of mourners (including in Westminster Hall). You get one last look at the Royal Standard banner: underneath is the coffin. It takes eight men to carry it.
Why? And how are the Queen and the coffin prepared?
