The death of Queen Elizabeth II was an historic event. She reigned as Queen of England and the United Kingdom for 70 years. For many, she's the only British Queen they've known.
British residents and others lined the streets following her casket and stood in line for hours to see the Queen's casket before it was moved to the Westminister Abby for the funeral service.

These pictures hardly cover the various events and ceremonies over the nine-day funeral following the Queen's casket from Balmoral Castle to London and finally to Windsor Castle.
Among the hundreds of dignitaries and Royal Family members on The Queen's guest list, there were a few surprises, such as The Duchess of York.
Many have noted The Queen demonstrated, in many ways, her desire for her family to heal from its many tragedies.
While the Queen's funeral was a very public event, it was also a private family event where family tensions were visible on the public stage.
I feel the monarchy will struggle for years to reconstruct its image and importance.
