Image source, PA MediaWe are now witnessing one of the most momentous pieces of pageantry of the day so far - as the Queen is separated from her crown jewels.
The Imperial State Crown, the Orb and Sceptre are removed from their place on her coffin by the Crown Jeweller.
They will ultimately be returned to the Tower of London - but for now are passed to the Dean of Windsor who places them carefully on the altar.
The final hymn of the service follows.
Chaplains say prayerspublished at 16:30 British Summer Time 19 September 2022
The prayers are said by the Queen’s three domestic chaplains from the locations that most mattered to her - the rector of Sandringham, the minister of Crathie Kirk - the church by Balmoral Castle - and the chaplain of the Royal Chapel in Windsor Great Park.
The first prayer begins: "Remember, O Lord, thy servant Elizabeth who has gone before us with the sign of faith, and now rests in sleep."
The congregation then says the Lord's prayer together.
Dean of Windsor reads from Revelationpublished at 16:28 British Summer Time 19 September 2022
The reading given by the Dean of Windsor, Revelation 21, verses 1-7, was also read at the funerals of the Queen’s grandparents, King George V in 1936 and Queen Mary in 1953, and of her father King George VI in 1952.
The Dean of Windsor gives the biddingpublished at 16:24 British Summer Time 19 September 2022
The Dean of Windsor is now giving the Bidding.
He begins: "We have come together to commit into the hands of God the soul of his servant Queen Elizabeth.
He adds: In the midst of our rapidly changing and frequently troubled world, her calm and dignified presence has given us confidence to face the future, as she did, with courage and with hope."
Prayers and song at day’s second servicepublished at 16:21 British Summer Time 19 September 2022
The service is led by the Dean of Windsor, David Conner.
Prayers will also come from Rector of Sandringham and the Minister of Crathie Kirk - the parish church in Scotland where the Royal Family worships when staying at Balmoral.
We’ll also hear from the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.
Singing comes from St George’s Chapel’s own choir.

The Queen's coffin has now been placed where it will rest for the service. The bearer party are departing and the Royal Family are taking their places.
The Choir have been singing Psalm 121, set to music by Sir Henry Walford Davies, who was a sometime Organist of the Chapel.
We will also hear the Russian Contakion of the Departed, which was sung at the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh.

The simple service now taking place at St George's Chapel was all agreed with the Queen before her death. It will be led by David Conner, Dean of Windsor.

Committal service at Windsor Castle beginningpublished at 16:13 British Summer Time 19 September 2022
Image source, Getty ImagesThe Queen's coffin is being carried into St George's Chapel for the committal service, which will be led by the Dean of Windsor, David Conner.
It starts with the coffin procession entering the chapel and proceeding down the nave to lay the Queen’s coffin in the quire.
Most of the congregation were not at Westminster Abbey earlier in the day, and this second service has been designed with royal staff in mind.
Many are past or present employees of the Queen’s estates.
But we do still expect to see notable politicians in attendance alongside the Royal Family and members of their households.

You cannot fail to be impressed by the display. Every button polished on uniforms.
Everyone on the Long Walk clapped as the hearse went by, some bowed their heads. I heard someone simply say, "Your Majesty."
So many miles travelled from Scotland to London until these final moments.
Since the coffin left Balmoral the ceremonial elements of this final farewell have increased.
With each mile more people lined the streets, and paid their respects at the lying-in-state.
Now the Queen has reached Windsor for her committal service and later private burial.
The Queen’s final resting placepublished at 16:10 British Summer Time 19 September 2022
Here, St George's Chapel, is where the day’s events will come to a close.
This evening, the Queen will be laid to rest alongside her late husband, the Duke of Edinburgh.
She’ll be buried in the royal vault of King George VI's Memorial Chapel - part of St George's Chapel.
That will be in a service for the Royal Family which will be small-scale and highly private in nature.
But first, there’ll be a committal - attended by around 800 guests and conducted by the Dean of Windsor.
Queen's coffin arrives at St George’s Chapelpublished at 16:07 British Summer Time 19 September 2022
The funeral procession has now arrived at St George's Chapel, where the committal service will take place.
Household Cavalry members are lining the steps. The Windsor Castle guard present their arms as the royals and state hearse arrive.
The Queen’s coffin will shortly be carefully lifted by the bearer party and carried up the west steps into the chapel.
You might recognise the medieval chapel from the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan, in 2018.
The funeral service for The Duke of Edinburgh was also conducted at the Chapel in April 2021.

Muick and Sandy have been spotted awaiting the procession carrying the Queen's coffin to St George's Chapel.
They are the last two corgis that the Queen owned and you can read all about her love of the breed here.
They will now be placed under the care of Prince Andrew and his former wife, Sarah Ferguson.

Now we see the procession passing into the Quadrangle of Windsor Castle into Engine Court.
It will now pass the Norman Arch, Chapel Hill, Parade Ground and the Horseshoe Cloister Arch - where a guard of honour awaits the funeral party.
King Charles III and other senior royals are expected to join the procession.

Image source, PA MediaThis is a very touching sight, this last procession of the Queen.
After all the glamour of the procession at London, this is much more intimate.
Windsor is a place that she called home and where she and the Duke of Edinburgh spent lockdowns during the pandemic.
And where, of course, she sat alone at St George's Chapel for the funeral of her husband, just a year ago.
Deeply personal moment for people who live in Windsorpublished at 15:51 British Summer Time 19 September 2022

At the Long Walk, Windsor
The Queen's coffin has been making its final journey along the historic Long Walk in Windsor.
Hundreds of military personnel have lined the route, their heads bowed as the State Hearse passes by.
This is a deeply personal moment for locals who saw the Queen as their neighbour and very much part of their community.
Final moments for people to see the coffinpublished at 15:49 British Summer Time 19 September 2022

Commentating on BBC One and BBC iPlayer
These are the final moments for the public to see the hearse because once it goes inside the gates of Windsor Castle will be no more members of the public.
It will only be those who have come to the chapel to take part in this service.
So this is quite literally the last glimpse of the sovereign’s coffin that her subjects will see, except of course watching it on television.
Committal service will feel smaller and more intimatepublished at 15:44 British Summer Time 19 September 2022

At Windsor CastleAround 800 guests will be in St George’s Chapel for the Committal Service.
It will feel smaller and more intimate than the funeral service at Westminster Abbey this morning.
In recent years this has been the equivalent of the Queen’s parish church during the years she lived in the castle. It is where she worshipped at Easter and celebrated baptisms, confirmations and weddings during her reign.
It is where she said her own final farewell to her husband Prince Philip.
The seats are laid out – each one has an order of service placed on it. Much of the music for the Committal Service has been composed by Sir William Harris who was the organist here from 1933 to 1961. He was also the Queen’s childhood piano teacher.
At the foot of the altar lie the family flowers - providing flashes of colour on the chapel floor.
The details of the Committal Service were discussed with the Queen over a number of years.
But the final hymn was not her choice. That was deliberately left to the Dean of Windsor and the King. They have chosen Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation.
