Black Rod Sarah Clarke and other members of parliamentary staff were the final people to pay their respects to the monarch after the last members of the queue had been through Westminster Hall.

In what will no doubt be one of many emotional moments, the House of Lords senior member appeared to wipe away a tear as she became the last person to walk past the Queen’s coffin.

Ms Clarke paid her respects after Chrissy Heerey, a member of the RAF from near High Wycombe, the last member of the public to see the Queen lying in state before the hall was closed to the public before the funeral.

Biden’s (slightly delayed) arrival

The only world leader not to arrive by coach, US President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, travelled in his armoured limousine, nicknamed “The Beast”.

Despite his status, Mr Biden was not exempt from the problems of London traffic on a Monday morning and was slightly held up near Marble Arch.

Mr Biden is the only world leader who was able to arrive at the abbey under his own steam, arriving in a “scaled down” motorcade of six cars. The rest of the world’s leaders arrived via coach.

Bear Grylls and other guests you might not have expected

Among the guests is Chief Scout Bear Grylls, who was awarded an OBE in 2019 by the Queen and was a patron of the organisation.

Sophie Winkleman, known for her role as Big Suze in the comedy series Peep Show, is also in attendance as a member of the Royal Family.

The 42-year-old actress – the paternal half-sister of TV presenter Claudia Winkleman, who has also appeared in shows including Waking The Dead, Two And A Half Men and Death In Paradise – is married to Lord Frederick Windsor, the son of the Queen’s cousin Prince Michael of Kent.

Other famous faces in attendance include Killing Eve actress Sandra Oh, who made up part of the Canadian delegation as a member of the Order of Canada.

The King’s goodbye message

Adorning the Queen’s coffin is the Imperial State Crown along with an array of flowers in different shades of pink, as requested by King Charles.

The flowers and foliage have been chosen for their symbolism and cut from the gardens of Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Highgrove House.

A card in remembrance lies among the flowers, with the King’s goodbye message to his mother.

The flowers include rosemary, for remembrance, and myrtle – an ancient symbol of a happy marriage – cut from a plant grown from a sprig of myrtle in the Queen’s wedding bouquet.

English oak symbolises the strength of love, while pelargoniums, garden roses, autumnal hydrangea, sedum, dahlias and scabious are also included.

These are in shades of gold, pink and deep burgundy, with touches of white, to reflect the Royal Standard.

Prince Andrew appears emotional as he walks behind coffin

Walking alongside King Charles and his other siblings Anne and Edward, Prince Andrew at one point seemed to struggle to contain his emotions ahead of the service.

He was seen fighting back tears and biting his lip as they followed the Queen’s coffin to the abbey.
