Monday, marked the historic day of the late Queen's state funeral.

Enduring chilly temperatures and some rain showers, well-wishers came together to say a final goodbye to their late monarch.

Many carried camping chairs or set out blankets while others draped themselves in the Union flag.

The crowd was at least 30 deep in parts of central London and large numbers gathered in Hyde Park, where the funeral service was shown on big screens.
