Touching moments from Queen's funeral: Youngest mourners George and Charlotte say goodbye to 'Gan Gan', King, Meghan cry

Many a heartbreaking scene unfolded in London, as Britain bid a final farewell to its longest-reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. The sombre funeral proceedings were held at the Westminster Abbey, where the Queen was coronated and got married. It’s from here that she began her final journey on Monday before being lowered into the Royal Vault, where she is laid to rest with her husband Prince Philip.

We look at the most touching scenes from the inimitable ceremony.

The King and princes shed tears

A teary-eyed Kings Charles III and the visibly grief-stricken royal family surrounded the Queen’s coffin at the funeral. His eyes welled up at different points during the service.

Prince Andrew, said to be the Queen’s favourite son, was seen weeping as he arrived at Westminster Abbey. The monarch’s third eldest son was seen in a solemn procession from Westminster Hall to the Abbey. The Duke of York, who appeared to be holding back tears as he walked, played a central role in the Queen’s funeral as the royal family put on a united front during the period of national mourning.

Andrew’s brother Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, too was spotted wiping away tears during the funeral service. As the Queen’s youngest son, Prince Edward, sat in the Abbey for the service, video footage shows that he shed a few tears, using a tissue to wipe his eyes and nose, reports Independent.

Even Meghan cried

Prince Harry’s wife Meghan Markle appeared to wipe away a tear as the Queen’s coffin was carried out of Westminster Abbey. The Duchess of Sussex dabbed her cheek during the emotional moment as she stood beside Camilla, the Queen Consort, Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, and her children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, reports Daily Mail.
