THE Queen has finally been reunited with her beloved Prince Philip after an emotional last journey from London to Windsor Castle.

Her Majesty’s casket was today lowered into the 16ft Royal Vault beneath St George’s Chapel following the 800-strong committal service.

Son fils, Roi Charles, stood shoulder to shoulder with his grieving relatives during the hour-long event.

It came to a poignant finish as the late monarch was lowered into the royal vault to lie beside her “strength and stay”.

The service was conducted by the Dean of Windsor, with prayers said by the Rector of Sandringham, the Minister of Crathie Kirk and the Chaplain of Windsor Great Park.

Following the penultimate hymn, the imperial state crown, the orb and the sceptre were moved from the Queen’s coffin to the altar.

The King then draped the Queen’s Company Camp Colour of the Grenadier Guards on the coffin before the Lord Chamberlain broke his Wand of Office.

The Dean said a psalm and the Commendation while the coffin was disappeared from public view for the last time.

Après ça, les Sovereign’s Piper will play a lament and the Archbishop of Canterbury pronounced the blessing, before the congregation sang the national anthem.

The Queen’s coffin arrived at the Castle after being taken in a hearse scattered with flowers thrown by her beloved subjects on a final procession.

Bouquets tossed by well-wishers along the route remained on its bonnet and roof after it slowly inched down The Long Walk.

Silence fell among huge crowds of mourners as the drummers, members of the armed forces and hearse passed.

Children were lifted on their parents’ shoulders and phones were raised in the air as people struggled to catch a glimpse of the sombre scene.

Members of the Royal Family previously watched as the Queen’s casket was placed in the hearse following an emotional funeral service this morning.

Thousands of mourners packed pavements as Her Majesty was driven first to Westminster Abbey and then to Windsor, where she will finally be reunited and laid to rest with her beloved Prince Philippe.

Le roi gave a sombre salute as his mother’s coffin went by, just minutes after leading his grieving family at the service.

He was joined by siblings Andrew, Edouard et Anne, as well as sons William et Harry, who appeared solemn in reflection.

At Wellington Arch, the bearer party lifted the Queen’s coffin from the State Gun Carriage into the glass-backed State Hearse, which Her Majesty helped design.

Bands of the Scots and Grenadier Guards then played a medley of her favourites, including Jerusalem and I Vow To Thee My Country.

As the hearse left the monument for Windsor, the parade gave a Royal Salute, led by the King, and the National Anthem played out.

Charles, the Queen Consort, and the Prince and Princesse de Galles, along with other Royal Family members, then left by car, travelling along the M4.

Thousands of mourners packed the A4, A30 and A308 to see the State Hearse on its 25-mile journey, with many throwing flowers in its path.

Single roses then remained on the bonnet and roof as the slow procession continued.

It arrived at Windsor Great Park through Shaw Farm Gate on Albert Road and on to Long Walk, where tens of thousands of people have been gathering to bid a final farewell to the Queen since the early hours.

At the head of the procession, the hearse travelled up the Long Walk, through Cambridge Gate and George IV Gate to the Quadrangle.

It is making its way to St George’s Chapel, where a televised committal service will take place in St George’s Chapel at 4pm.
