The Queen has been laid to rest after 10 days of mourning - which has seen a massive outpouring of emotion all around the UK.

It culminated in what the British do best - an extraordinary display of pomp and ceremony which saw thousands of armed forces guide the Queen's coffin from Westminster, to her final resting place at Windsor Castle.

An estimated two million people were on the streets of London for the big occasion.

Tens of thousands of people packed into Hyde Park near Buckingham Palace to see the broadcast of Queen Elizabeth's funeral. RNZ's Corin Dann and Nick Monro were there.
