Funeral of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother The Queen Mother's body lay at the altar of the Royal Chapel of All Saints near Royal Lodge before being taken to London for her lying in state and funeral.[15][16] At one point, her four grandsons Prince Charles, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and Viscount Linley mounted the guard as a mark of respectâ€”an honour similar to the Vigil of the Princes at the lying in state of King George V.[17][18] An estimated 200,000 people over three days filed past as she lay in state in Westminster Hall at the Palace of Westminster.[19][20]
