Hundreds of thousands of people are bidding farewell to Queen Elizabeth II on Monday during the funeral for Britain’s longest-reigning monarch.
Elizabeth, who died on Sept. 8 at the age of 96, sat on the British throne for 70 years. Her son, King Charles III, is now head of state not only for the United Kingdom and Canada, but 13 other nations as well.
Charles was seen arriving for the funeral alongside his sons Princes William and Harry. Prince George and Princess Charlotte arrived with their mother Kate Middleton and Camilla, Queen Consort.
