Her voice was confident as she read the scripture, which started with the words: 'Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.' Wearing the stunningly elegant cape donned by the late monarch in several portraits - including a famous set of photographs by Cecil Beaton 'Beaton eliminated the magnificent regalia and sparkling gowns seen in other portraits to produce a contemplative and timeless image of the monarch,' it reads.
Writing in Annie Leibovitz at Work, she recalled how the royal had appeared to be in a bad mood during the shot, and that the picture in the cloak was the last one taken.The Queen is also understood to have donned the cape at her Diamond Jubilee in 2012, wrapping herself up in its warmth at the occasion's Buckingham Palace concert.
In a rare, candid interview the stoic Anne spoke of her relationship with Elizabeth and paid tribute to 'sheer numbers of people' who lined the roads from Balmoral to Edinburgh, and later from London to Windsor in the wake of her death. 'The sheer numbers of people turned up in quite extraordinary places, you were never going to miss that and the atmosphere it created.'
Pictured being driven in a Bentley behind the hearse, Anne, who was accompanied by her husband of 30 years Sir Timothy Laurence, was visibly moved as she looked out onto those members of the public who had come to pay their respects.
