After decades of loyal service, Ladies-in-Waiting bid an emotional farewell at Westminster Hall
were the picture of solemnity and duty in front of the eyes of the world. But equally, their faces spoke clearly of the emotion of the occasion and the sadness of the last few days, and it was, perhaps, little surprise that King Charles could be seen, if not tearful, then at least moist-eyed as he gazed at his mother’s coffin draped with the Royal Standard.
Carried by eight bearers, the coffin, topped with the Royal Standard, the Imperial State Crown and a wreath of white flowers, was eased onto the catafalque in the centre of the hall where it will lie in state, giving mourners a chance to file past and pay their respects for the next four days. One-by-one, each guest who had been invited to witness the arrival of the coffin filed past it, some bowing or curtseying in deference.
