September 19, 2022 - 17:51 BST Chloe Best King Charles III has maintained his composure throughout the ten day mourning period following the Queen's death, but he appeared overcome with emotion as her committal service at Windsor Castle drew to a close on Monday afternoon.The new King was visibly moved as the 800-strong congregation, including his wife the Queen Consort, and sons Princes William and Harry, sang God Save the King at the end of the service.
The King and Queen Consort sat in the second row in St George's Chapel's quire for the ceremony, with an empty space directly in front of him on the front row. The reason for the empty space is a matter of protocol: to ensure that the monarch has a clear and unobstructed view of the service.The State Hearse halted at the bottom of the West Steps shortly before 4pm before the Coffin Procession, with the royals in tow, entered the Chapel.
