[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunwoo Lee] The coffin of the late Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom was laid to rest in the underground of Windsor Castle near London, where her husband, Prince Philip, who passed away in April last year, had been buried, after all funeral events were completed.

According to the BBC on the 19th (local time), the Queen's funeral, which began at 11 a.m. that day, lasted about an hour with the attendance of around 2,000 world leaders and foreign dignitaries before concluding. After the funeral, the Queen's coffin passed Buckingham Palace and Wellington Arch for a final farewell. The Big Ben clock tower in London tolled once per minute in tribute.

The Queen's coffin, having bid farewell to the world, was moved to Windsor Castle. Located about 35 km west of central London, Windsor Castle is the official residence of the British royal family and the burial site of most British royals since King George III, who passed away in 1820.

Subsequently, a final memorial service was held at St. George's Chapel within Windsor Castle, attended by King Charles III, other royals, and key figures including UK Prime Minister Liz Truss. King Charles III raised the flag of the Household Division, and the Queen's ceremonial staff was broken and placed sequentially on the Queen's coffin, declaring the end of her duties.

The Queen's coffin was interred in the George VI Memorial Chapel, a stone annex within Windsor Castle. She was laid to rest alongside Prince Philip, who had been her husband for 73 years and passed away in April last year. Also interred there are King George VI, the Queen's mother Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, and her sister Princess Margaret, among other family members.
