Britain says last farewell to Queen Elizabeth II and ‘end of an era’

The hourlong event inside Westminster Abbey, attended by 2,000 people, followed 11 days of national mourning and highly choreographed public ceremonies. Afterward, the queen's coffin, topped by symbols of state, made its slow procession through the streets of London on its way to Windsor for smaller ceremonies and interment later Monday.

Reflecting on "the end of an era," Zoe Dearsley marveled at the queen's seven decades of service. "She served for all that time with such grace. To be 96, two days from death and still doing her duty, meeting with Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, probably the last thing she wanted to do, it's just remarkable."
