9 News Australia published this video item, entitled “Britain and the world say final goodbye to Queen Elizabeth II | 9 News Australia” – below is their description.

The royal family have bid a final farewell to Queen Elizabeth II in an emotional committal service at St George’s chapel.

King Charles III placed the colour of the grenadier guards on the Queen’s coffin, and looked teary-eyed as the hours-long service came to a close.

The Lord Chamberlain broke his wand of office and placed it on the coffin before it was lowered into the vault.

The end of the committal service marks the final public act of mourning for the Queen. From here, the royals will go to King George VI Memorial Chapel for a private burial. She will be buried alongside her late husband Prince Philip.
