Britain came to a standstill on Monday as the nation paid its last respect to its longest-serving monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, who died on Sept. 8 after 70 years on the throne.

Hundreds of thousands lined the Queen’s funeral procession that carried the monarch from lying in state at Westminster Hall to her state funeral and on to Windsor Castle for the committal service.
