Huge Crowds Line Queen Elizabeth's Coffin Route in WindsorLONDON (REUTERS) - Tens of thousands of people lined the route taking the late Queen Elizabeth to her final resting place at Windsor Castle on Monday (September 19), throwing flowers towards the hearse and cheering as it departed the British capital following her state funeral. The crowds of young and old have come from around Britain and beyond, many camping out overnight to secure a good spot for watching the country's first state funeral since 1965, when World War Two leader Winston Churchill was afforded the honour. The casket was taken from Westminster Abbey to Wellington Arch, where it was transferred to a hearse to begin its journey to Windsor. There the queen was to be laid to rest alongside her husband of 73 years, Prince Philip. Windsor Castle is the resting place of more than a dozen English and British kings and queens. Most are buried in St. George's Chapel, including Henry VIII, who died in 1547, and Charles I, who was beheaded in 1649. Elizabeth died on Sept. 8 at Balmoral Castle, her summer home in the Scottish highlands.
