The Queen will be laid to rest beside her husband of 74 years in a private ceremony on Monday.

Britain’s longest reigning monarch will be buried with Prince Philip in King George VI’s chapel in Windsor Castle.

The family service will take place at 7.30pm following a grand state funeral in the morning.

Her Majesty died a year and five months after her beloved husband, who she described ‘my strength and stay’.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s coffin will move from the Royal Vault to the memorial chapel to be with his wife’s.

Prince Louis, 4, told mum Kate ‘at least granny is with great grandpa now’ when the sad news of her death was broken to him.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry said his family can smile knowing the couple are ‘reunited and together in peace’.

The chapel is also the final resting place of the Queen’s father King George VI, mother Queen Elizabeth, and sister Princess Margaret.

The coffin will be carried on a 123-year-old gun carriage towed by 98 Royal Navy sailors in a tradition dating back to the funeral of Queen Victoria.

The procession will be led by a massed Pipes & Drums of Scottish and Irish Regiments, the Brigade of Gurkhas, and the Royal Air Force – numbering 200 musicians.

Two thousand people, including world leaders and foreign royals, will then gather inside the historic abbey at 11.30am to say goodbye to Her Majesty.

After the service the Queen’s coffin will be returned to the gun carriage by the bearer party and a procession will travel to Wellington Arch at Hyde Park.
