As the Queen's funeral procession headed towards her final resting place, two guests waited to welcome her home: Muick and Sandy, the royal corgis.
With their short, stubby legs and floppy ears they patiently awaited the cortege's arrival.
While the Queen was being carried into Windsor's St George's Chapel, the dogs watched on.
Throughout her reign, the Queen owned some 30 corgis and dorgis (a mix between a corgi and a dachshund).
Her love for the dogs was well known, as was her lifelong love of horses.
The corgis that welcomed the monarch at Windsor Castle were joined by the Queen's Fell pony, Emma, which stamped a foot as the cortege passed.
The dogs, once referred to as a "moving carpet", by Princess Diana, had been the subject of discussion since her death, with many people wondering where they would go.
Muick and Sandy were given to the Queen by Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson just last year.
The dogs, and a dorgi named Candy, will now be looked after by the prince and his ex-wife.
The Queen's corgis were her constant companions since she was a child.
It started in 1933 when King George VI, her father, brought her a Pembroke Welsh corgi that they named Dookie.
When she was 18 she was given another corgi, which she named Susan.
Susan would be the first in a long line corgis, dorgis and even a cocker spaniel.
Eventually the dogs started accompanying her in public appearances and they became a part of her persona.
Throughout her 70-year reign, the dogs were by the Queen's side while she was on official tours.
They reportedly slept in their own room at Buckingham Palace with sheets that were changed daily.
