The front page uses a full-length image of the Queen’s coffin being carried into Westminster Abbey for her state funeral. King Charles III and Camilla are seen walking behind the coffin. The front page says “a family and a nation lay the Queen to rest,” noting the final service – the burial – took place at 7:00 pm away from the cameras and was attended only by close family and friends.

“Unsurpassed pomp and public spectacle” gave way to “intimacy” as the Queen was laid to rest, The Guardian says, noting that the Queen’s “final farewell” belonged only to her family.

The UK’s longest-reigning monarch was laid to rest in a private ceremony, away from the cameras and surrounded by only her loved ones, the paper reports.

The Metro’s wrap features two images, with front showing the King and Prince William walking behind the Queen’s flower-strewn hearse. The second shows the procession as it enters Windsor Castle, with hundreds gathered on both sides of the town’s Long Walk to watch her “journey’s end”.

“Until we meet again…” – that is the Daily Mirror’s tribute to the Queen following her funeral. The front page shows the late monarch’s coffin being carried by pall bearers, adorned with flowers, the Imperial State Crown and the Sovereign’s orb and sceptre.

The Sun also opts for a full wrap, with the front page photo dedicated to the procession carrying the Queen to her final resting place in Windsor. Under the headline “We sent her victorious,” the paper describes the funeral as “the biggest farewell in history, while its black back cover merely says “God bless the Queen” and “God save the King”.

God rest our Queen – that’s the headline on the front of the Daily Express, while its back writes “God save the King” next to a picture of the new monarch, his eyes visibly red from what the Times describes as a “day of history marked with tears”.
