Скачать или смотреть Queen Elizabeth's coffin arrives at Westminster Abbey

Leaders and royalty gathered in London on Monday (Sept 19) to mourn Queen Elizabeth amid scenes of matchless pageantry.

King Charles and other senior British royals followed her flag-draped coffin into Westminster Abbey at the start of her state funeral, the country's first since 1965 when Winston Churchill was afforded the honour.

The queen's casket made the short journey from Westminster Hall where she had been lying-in-state, pulled along on a gun carriage by 142 sailors with arms linked. A bell tolled and bagpipes skirled.

Elizabeth's son King Charles and his three younger siblings, Anne, Andrew and Edward, made up the first line behind the gun carriage.

Behind them came Charles's sons, Princes William and Harry, and other senior members of the royal family.

Charles, Anne, Edward and William, all dressed in ceremonial military uniform, saluted as the coffin was lifted off the gun carriage in front of the abbey.

Andrew and Harry, who are no longer working royals, were in morning suits and did not salute, even though both had served in conflict in the past, in the Falklands and in Afghanistan.
