This will be Her Majesty\u2019s final place of rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Queen\u2019s coffin was draped in the Royal Standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was carried through London on the State Gun Carriage of the Royal Navy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 2,000 attended the ceremony for the Queen\u2019s funeral in Westminster Abbey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These included heads of states from countries around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Millions, perhaps billions of people were also looking through their screens, paying their final respects for Her Majesty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Screens have been put up across the courtly, including in London\u2019s Hyde Park, Sheffield\u2019s Cathedral Square, Birmingham\u2019s Centenary Square, Carlisle\u2019s Bitts Park, Edinburgh\u2019s Holyrood Park and Coleraine Town Hall in Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cinemas have also opened to show the funeral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A police officer also fainted while on duty in London for the state funeral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reports show the officer collapsed shortly before the funeral procession made its way down The Mall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was carried away on a stretcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another four have received medical attention after being taken unwell, according to the Independent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of these have now recovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People reports that troops were told to take one satchel of salt every day over the past week to reduce the chance of them passing out during the significant ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state occasion has been described as the \u201cbiggest single deployment of officers in an operation the Met has ever undertaken\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
