The crowd on the Long Walk is now ten-deep or more as the long walk to Windsor Castle begins following the procession’s arrival.

 

Windsor, where the Queen broadcast to the nation in wartime and spent so much of her time throughout her life, will be her final resting place.

 

Lee Buller, 37, from Reading, thinks that’s fitting. “I think this was her favorite place, apart from Balmoral. This was the real home that she loved.”

 

He like so many here today wants to say how much respect he has for the Queen.

 

“I know it’s easy to say she was born into privilege but not many would have dedicated their lives as she did to service through war and the pandemic.”

 

Gun salutes ring out every minute of the walk to the castle.

 

King Charles and the other members of the Royal family are in the procession.
