In this way, the official state funeral of the monarch who ruled for more than seventy years ended.

The Lord Chamberlain, the most senior official in the British royal court, followed tradition and broke the late queen's "royal scepter" in two in front of the grieving royal family and hundreds of attendees who had come to send the monarch off on his final journey.

Andrew Parker, the former head of domestic intelligence "MI-5" broke the white scepter and laid it on the Queen's coffin, a ritual that symbolizes the end of the monarch's service.

Clergyman David Connor, who holds leadership roles at St George's Chapel, paid tribute to Elizabeth II in front of the 800 people in attendance, saying the late Queen "was steadfast in her Christian faith which gave so much in her life ".

"In the maelstrom of a rapidly changing and often confused world, her calm and dignified presence gave us the confidence to look to the future as she did - with courage and hope," he added.

As the casket was being sent to the royal crypt, Connor read Psalm 103 and the famous "Go forth from this world, thou Christian soul."

The funeral service was concluded by the Royal Piper, who escorted the Queen to the crypt, and then the Archbishop of Canterbury blessed those present before everyone joined in singing the British national anthem, "God Save the King".

Queen Elizabeth II's coffin, along with that of her husband Philip, will later be laid to rest at the King George VI Memorial, where the Queen's parents and her sister Margaret are laid to rest.
