The Queen is to be reunited with her husband Prince Philip as she is laid to rest in a historic state funeral today.
The royal family, including Prince George and Princess Charlotte, will be among the 2,000 people gathered at Westminster Abbey to remember the late monarch this morning, before a committal service at Windsor Castle.
Up to two million mourners are expected to flock to London, with the service set to draw an estimated 4.1billion TV viewers across the globe.
The Queen's lying in state officially finished ahead of her funeral today, after the line was opened at 5pm last Wednesday with an estimated 400,000 mourners passing through Westminster Hall to pay their last respect and love to Queen Elizabeth iii.
Approximately two million mourners are expected into London, Windsor and royal sites around the UK on the national bank holiday, with the service set to draw an estimated 4.1billion TV viewers across the globe.
The last batch of people to see the Queen's coffin at about 10.30pm last night, before the closure at 6.30am this morning.
Christina Heerey, who serves in the Royal Air Force was recorded as one of the last persons to see the Queen alongside Members of parliamentary staff then followed her, with Black Rod Sarah Clarke the last person to walk past the coffin.
Ms. Heerey, who serves in the Royal Air Force and is from High Wycombe, revealed she had gone through the lying in state twice having initially made it into the building at 1.15am today.
She started queueing at 4.45pm yesterday.
She told Sky News: 'It is honour. I currently serve in the Royal Air Force so to be able to do that on behalf of the Royal Air Force and a female to an amazing lady that will never be replaced, it was an honour.
Obviously, I swore my allegiance to her and I just feel very proud being in the Air Force and being one of her subjects for her.
'Walking into the hall the first time, because I went through at 1.15am and felt that I needed to go through again, so I just obviously came through last of all then.
It just felt very proud that I was there and just very honoured, very honoured that I was given the privilege to go through again and obviously be the last person.'
Ms. Heeray said it had been '14 hours well worth spent'. Asked if she would stay for the funeral, she added: 'Yes I will. It will be a long day but well worth it. I'm never going to do this again in my lifetime so, yeah.'
The second last person to see the Queen lying in state was Sima Mansouri, 55, originally from Iran, who lives in South Croydon, South London. Her love for the Queen dates back to the 1970s, when her cousin was a flower girl for a royal visit in Tehran.
Ms.Mansouri said: 'It was a boiling hot day and my poor cousin has got very fair skin, blonde hair and blue eyes.
The Queen came out of her plane and was more concerned with my cousin burning in the sun than being a royal.
She said, 'Can someone please get this little girl out of the sun?' Then she kissed her and grabbed the flowers. I thought it was amazing.'
