Members of the public will be able to see the final resting place of Queen Elizabeth in St George’s Chapel, Windsor, from next Thursday.

The Queen was buried on Monday alongside the Duke of Edinburgh in the King George VI Memorial Chapel, where she joins her parents, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. The ashes of her sister, Princess Margaret, are also buried within the same tomb underneath the tiny chapel.

A new ledger stone now marks the tomb, bearing the Queen’s name with those of her parents and the Duke of Edinburgh.

The simple slab, which replaces the former ledger stone of black Belgian marble, is inscribed with the words: Elizabeth II 1926-2022. Beneath that it says: Philip 1921-2021.
