Here's what an insider had to say about the Queen's procession to Westminster Hall
September 14, 2022 - 19:03 BST Emily Nash Witnessing the start of the Queen's extraordinarily moving final journey from Buckingham Palace today was a moment I will remember for the rest of my life.
As they walked to the accompaniment of funeral played by the Band of the Scots Guards and the Band of the Grenadier Guards, they kept their composure even as some of those lining the streets shed a tear.The late Queen’s children and grandchildren were joined in the procession by some of her close personal staff, making it somehow feel intimate, even at the heart of an international media event.
The royal family remained standing for the 20-minute service, grief etched on their faces, as the Choirs of Westminster Abbey and His Majesty's Chapel Royal sang the psalm.Prayers were led by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby and the Dean of Westminster Dr David Hoyle and the royals joined in with the Lord's Prayer.
