The King and members of the Royal Family gathered together after a difficult day in the world's spotlight at the state funeral and committal service. The burial saw the Queen reunited with her beloved Duke of Edinburgh as she is interred alongside Philip in the chapel.

The official website of the royal family said the private burial was conducted by the Dean of Windsor. "The Queen was buried together with the Duke of Edinburgh, at The King George VI Memorial Chapel," the statement said.

When the duke died 17 months ago, his coffin was placed in the Royal Vault of St George's – ready to be moved to the memorial chapel when the Queen died. The chapel, which was built as an annexe behind the North Quire Aisle of St George's in 1969, houses the remains of the Queen's father George VI, her mother the Queen Mother and sister Princess Margaret.

The Queen's coffin has been interred with the Grenadier Guards' Queen's Company Camp Colour – a smaller version of the Royal Standard of the Regiment – which the King placed on her coffin at the end of the committal service.
