Royal fans share 'most heart-breaking' detail about Queen's funeral two years later

Royal fans are recalling a devastating detail about the Queen's funeral two years after it took place.

Queen Elizabeth II was laid to rest on September 19, 2022, 11 days after she passed away at her Scottish residence at Balmoral Castle at the age of 96. Her coffin was transported to London via a number of UK cities and she then lay in state before being buried together with Prince Philip at The King George VI Memorial Chapel.

Now, an admirer of the late monarch have shared the most 'heart-breaking' detail of her funeral at Westminster Abbey that some people may have missed. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), one user said: "As we approach the second anniversary of our much loved late Queens passing... I wanted to share my favourite (and the most heart breaking) part of her funeral.

"Her beloved fell pony Emma, standing by and saying her final goodbye to her friend."

Others were quick to chime in, with one person writing: "I remember seeing that. It was particularly touching," followed by a heart emoji.

The original poster responded: "Very much so, especially when Emma lowered her head unprompted as the procession went by her...". Meanwhile another commenter chimed in: "Strange how that memory is still fresh and raw. Sadly, missed."

A third added: "Yep, that [and] her corgis. I was a emotional wreck but those two events during the funeral completely finished me."

Her Majesty was, and remains, the UK's longest-reigning monarch, having been on the throne for 70 years. Upon her passing, King Charles ascended the throne and this was officially marked at his coronation in May 2023.

Last year, the Express reported the Queen's funeral cost a staggering £161.7million, a staggering £62million more than King Charles' coronation. It was also more than five times as expensive than Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding.
