To the sound of the playing of chapter 21 of the Book of Psalms, the Queen’s coffin was lowered into the burial after a long ceremony, which actually began 10 days ago when she died peacefully in Scotland. The funeral began at Westminster Abbey and ended at Windsor Castle where she was buried next to her husband Prince Philip who passed away a year ago
The funeral ceremony of Queen Elizabeth II opened with the national anthem with a change of some of the words: “God, we will defeat the king”, instead of “God, we will defeat the queen”. Then the choir sang the chapter of the psalms “A song of praise, I will lift up my eyes to the mountains, from where will my help come, the Lord will protect you from all evil and preserve your soul”. The ceremony ended with the playing of Psalm 121, a song for exaltation. I will lift my eyes to the mountains.
The public ceremonies in memory of the queen ended: the coffin was lowered into the royal vault, to the place where her husband, mother, and father were. From now on there is a new king, King Charles III of India. Members of the royal family, including King Charles III, have now left the chapel and gone to Windsor Castle itself, at 19:30 this evening UK time the king and his relatives will return to the chapel for the burial of the queen. She will be buried next to her late husband Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Details of the event were not revealed, Buckingham Palace called it “a very personal family event”.
Miri Krimolovski, a relative of the late queen, spoke this morning (Monday) with Golan Yokhpaz and Anat Davidov on 103FM. and revealed how the queen planned her funeral and also about the relationship between them.
Krimolovski said that the queen had been planning her funeral for several years. “It all started in 2005, so they started planning it. They probably didn’t realize it would take many more years, but they were already organized then. It’s just like Queen Victoria’s funeral, she also said which verse from the Psalms she wanted, she definitely knew what she wanted , and she wanted it to be fun for people, who would also get excited but also find it relatively entertaining.”
