King Charles’ final words to his mother
King Charles III bid farewell to his mother Queen Elizabeth II by leaving a note on her coffin.
The UK’'s longest reigning monarch was laid to rest on September 19 and was privately buried at King George VI Memorial Chapel in St George's Chapel.
During the funeral proceedings, a note was spotted atop a wreath on the coffin which read: “In loving and devoted memory. Charles R.”
The King had also specifically requested flowers and foliage for the wreaths which were cut from the gardens of Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Highgrove House.
There was also rosemary for remembrance, and myrtle cut from a plant that was grown from a sprig of myrtle in the Queen's wedding bouquet in 1947.
Around 2000 people from around the world were invited to the historical event to bid farewell Queen Elizabeth II.
Almost one million people were expected in London for the state funeral as mourned the loss of the Queen.
The Queen’s coffin was carried on the State Gun Carriage of the Royal Navy, drawn by 142 sailors.
King Charles III and his siblings Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward walked behind the hearse.
Followed closely behind was the King's sons Prince William and Prince Harry, and Princess Anne’s son Peter Philips.
The emotional service included recollections of the Queen’s coronation as a young woman back in 1953, as close family said their final goodbyes.
