An emotional King Charles struggled to hold back the tears during the final moment of the Queen's public funeral.
As a committal service at St George's Chapel in Windsor came to a close, the Imperial State Crown, the Orb and the Sceptre was removed from the late monarch's coffin before the final hymn.
After it played, King Charles placed the Queen's Company Camp Colour of the Grenadier Guards on top of the coffin before the Lord Chamberlain broke his Wand of Office.
The coffin was then slowly lowered into the Royal Vault as the Dean of Windsor said a psalm and pronounced all of the styles and titles of the Queen.
The Archbishop of Canterbury then concluded the service with a blessing before the congregation sang the national anthem.
As Charles listened to God Save the King for the last time at Windsor, he bit his lip and closed his eyes as he tried to fight back the tears following a sombre and moving service.
King Charles sat in the same seat the Queen had sat in for the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The lowering of the coffin into the Royal Vault is usually a private affair, and this was just the second time it was witnessed on television.
The first time this moment was seen was last year during the funeral of the Queen's beloved husband Prince Philip.
The service ended with the Sovereign Piper playing the lament A Salute to the Royal Fendersmith from the doorway between the chapel and the dean’s cloister, with the music gradually fading away as he walked towards the deanery.
King Charles III and the Queen consort then shared a word with the Archbishop of Canterbury and clergy outside the chapel as they left the committal service.
A private burial service will be conducted by the Dean of Windsor at 7.30pm this evening, and it will be attended by the King and members of the Royal Family.
Her Majesty will be buried together with her late husband, The Duke of Edinburgh, at the King George VI Memorial Chapel.
Hundreds of thousands of mourners lined the Queen’s funeral procession that carried the monarch from lying in state at Westminster Hall to her state funeral earlier today and on to Windsor Castle for the committal service.
Her state hearse arrived at the royal fortress strewn with flowers after the sight of the Queen had been cheered and applauded by the crowds along the route as she left London for the final time.
During the committal service, the Duke of Sussex and Princess Charlotte also shared a heartwarming moment.
Princess Charlotte was seen adjusting her hat before glancing over at her uncle before Harry briefly looked up and caught her eye before smiling at the princess, who joined today's emotional proceedings with her brother, Prince George.
Meanwhile, Prince William also followed the footsteps of his father and sat in the same seat the King had sat in for the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh during the pandemic.
