Queen Elizabeth ’s children and grandchildren gathered at Westminster Hall for a short service conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury and assisted by the Dean of Westminster, The Very Reverend Dr. David Hoyle on Wednesday. The late monarch’s coffin left Buckingham Palace and traveled to the Palace of Westminster on a Gun Carriage of The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery followed by members of her family.

From the Prince of Wales and Prince Harry walking side by side, to the Princess of Wales’ touching tribute to the late Queen, here is every must-see photo from the service and procession:
