But at the heart of this day, attended by dignitaries from around the globe, was also a grieving family who shared their dear matriarch with the world and were visibly moved throughout the final goodbye.

From King Charles's grief-stricken walk behind his mother's coffin to the Princess of Wales gently comforting daughter Princess Charlotte, there were so many emotional moments that will remain in the hearts and minds of those who will forever remember the Queen.

On the eve of the funeral, King Charles expressed his gratitude as the world prepared to say a “last farewell” to the Queen, who he had described as a “cherished sovereign and a much-loved mother” in a heart-felt tribute soon after her death.
