The Prince and Princess of Wales William and Kate Middleton's children joined more than 2,000 guests at Queen Elizabeth II's funeral to bid farewell to the monarch.

"Her Majesty famously declared on a 21st birthday broadcast, that her whole life would be dedicated to serving the nation and Commonwealth. Rarely has such a promise being so well kept, few leaders receive the outpouring of love that we have seen," Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said delivering the sermon at the state funeral.
