Tearful Queen Sonja supported by grieving Norwegian royals at King Harald's funeral - all the moving photos

Queen Sonja was seen gazing out the car window as her late husband's coffin was transported from the Royal Palace to Oslo Cathedral on Wednesday morning. 

Ahead of the main state funeral, the royal family honoured the late King Harald's memory with a touching tribute. The King's coffin was previously moved from the Red Room of the Palace to the Palace Chapel where the royals left two wreaths on either side.

Queen Sonja dedicated a wreath to her husband with a ribbon that read: "Takk for et godt liv", which translates to English as: "Thank you for a wonderful life".   

Queen Sonja looked sombre in sunglasses and a sheer black veil over her face as she rode in the car alongside her daughter-in-law, Queen Mette-Marit. 

Queen Sonja and King Harald had been married since 1968 and would have celebrated their 58th anniversary on 29 August, one day after King Harald's death. The Norwegian royal family marked the occasion with a heartbreaking tribute of photos from across their relationship and life together. 

"'I don't think anyone can live a life without love' - King Harald, 2013. Today, King Harald and Queen Sonja would be celebrating their 58th. wedding day. Through a long life, they stood by each other's side. Today, we also remember the love they shared over six decades," a caption for the post read. 

Queen Sonja wore a string of pearls on the day while Queen Mette-Marit opted for a wide-brimmed hat and netted veil over her blonde locks. 

Mette-Marit previously pulled out of her husband King Hakkon's swearing-in ceremony on 1 September. 

She was later seen being driven to the National Hospital in Oslo by her husband. 

Queen Sonja and Queen Mette-Marit stepped out of the car together and made their into the cathedral to farewell the late King Harald. 

Queen Sonja took her sunglasses off beneath her sheer veil, which cascaded down past shoulders. She kept the veil in place with a black hat over her styled hair.

While Queen Sonja arrived by car, King Haakon walked behind his father's coffin alongside his two children, Prince Sverre Magnus and Crown Princess Ingrid Alexandra, and his sister Princess Martha Louise. 

Crown Princess Ingrid Alexandra wore all black for the sombre occasion with a netted veil covering her face. 

Ingrid Alexandra became the heir to the Norwegian throne after the passing of her grandfather. 

Crown Princess Ingrid Alexandra walked behind the procession alongside her aunt, Princess Märtha Louise. 

Both royals had their hair slicked back in elegant up-dos and kept in place with black veiled headbands. 

Märtha wore a smart black dress and coordinating blazer, opting for a pearl necklace similar to the one her mother, Queen Sonja, wore. 

Queen Mette-Marit's son Marius Borg Høiby joined the rest of his family for the funeral on Wednesday. 

Marius, who was sentenced to four years in prison in June following a high-profile trial, has been out of jail and under house arrest at the royal estate of Skaugum since July. He was convicted of rape, though he had denied the most serious of the allegations against him. 

Marius was seen wearing a suit for the occasion. 

Mette-Marit's son previously appeared alongside the Norwegian royals as they accompanied Harald's casket to the Palace Chapel, three days after the monarch's death. 

Harald was not his grandfather by blood, but he became "an important grandfather figure" to him, Se og Hør royal reporter Caroline Vagle told HELLO!. 

Princess Märtha Louise's husband, Durek Verrett, was in attendance alongside his wife and her daughters, despite undergoing a kidney transplant in late August. 

"Märtha's family has been very supportive and loving. I always feel safe and can talk to them about anything," Durek previously told HELLO! about his close bond with the royals. 

"I can't discuss our private conversations, but she has a very wise father and mother," he added.

Queen Mette-Marit was seen wiping away her tears during the funeral service at Oslo Cathedral. 

Prince William and Princess Anne joined other representatives from European monarchies to walk behind Harald's bier for the poignant funeral procession. 

William looked smart for the sombre occasion in a suit and tie while Anne, who is King Haakon's godmother, opted for a fitted black jacket and neck scarf.

While William was there to represent his father King Charles, in keeping with royal protocol that the sovereign does not attend the funerals of other heads of state, Anne attended in a personal capacity.

Monaco's Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene walked side by side alongside royal representatives from around the world for the procession. 

Charlene dressed in a modest tailored look with her hair swept back beneath a netted veil.
