The Crown of Scotland was placed on the Queen's coffin during the service. Historically, the crown has been used in ceremonies to represent the sovereign's presence.

It was placed on the coffin by Alexander Douglas-Hamilton, the 16th Duke of Hamilton, and it will remain there while thousands of people pay their respects.

He added that she possessed "commitment, kindness, humour and courage, as well as the deep faith that was the anchor in her life".

Commons speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle said the loss of the Queen is felt across the UK and the entire Commonwealth, "which she did so much to nurture".

"Deep as our grief is, we know yours is deeper," he added.
