As the late Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral takes place today, Westminster Abbey saw members of the royal family enter the state funeral of Her Majesty.

Many chose to wear black with some of the royal family’s uniforms having a deeper meaning.

The Queen Consort, Camilla, was seen wearing black and sporting a brooch that is silver in colour.

This brooch is said to be a way of her honouring her late mother-in-law and Camilla has also been seen wearing an insect brooch in the week leading up to the Queen's state funeral, Metro reports.

When in Cardiff, Wales, she wore the Welsh Guards leek brooch, a replica of the one that Queen Elizabeth II wore. When Princess Diana visited Wales, she was also seen sporting a replica of the brooch, according to Metro. 

What will happen after the Queen’s funeral?

After the service, the coffin will be taken in procession from Westminster Abbey to Wellington Arch and then travel to Windsor.

Once in Windsor, the hearse will then travel in a procession to St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle via the Long Walk.

Following this, a televised committal service will take place in St George’s Chapel at 4pm.

At 7pm, there will be a private interment service with senior members of the royal family.

The Queen’s final resting place will be the King George VI memorial chapel, an annex to the main chapel – where her mother and father were buried, along with the ashes of her sister, Princess Margaret.

Prince Philip’s coffin will move from the Royal Vault to the memorial chapel to join the Queen’s.
