这场在伦敦威斯敏斯特教堂举行的葬礼持续大约一小时。葬礼即将结束时，英国全国默哀两分钟。

Britain held a state funeral for Queen Elizabeth II, the country's longest-reigning monarch, at Westminster Abbey on Monday, attended by a host of world leaders, royalty and other dignitaries.

A two-minute national silence was observed in remembrance of the late Queen at the end of the state funeral.

当地时间19日下午，女王灵柩运抵伦敦以西的温莎城堡。当天晚些时候，女王与其已故丈夫菲利普亲王葬在一起。

18世纪以来的首次英王葬礼

据BBC报道，当地时间19日11时左右（以下均为当地时间），英女王葬礼在伦敦威斯敏斯特大教堂正式举行并全程直播。葬礼仪式持续约一小时，约2000人出席。

The Queen's life-long sense of duty was remembered at her state funeral service, attended by 2,000 guests at Westminster Abbey. The Funeral was broadcast live on TV, radio and The Royal Family's Youtube Channel.

威斯敏斯特大教堂是历史上的英王加冕之处，女王也曾于1953年在此进行加冕。这座教堂也见证了女王的婚礼。1947年，当时还是公主的伊丽莎白与菲利普亲王在此大婚。

The abbey, hosting the funeral service, is the historic church where Britain's kings and queens are crowned, including the Queen's own coronation in 1953. It was also where the then-Princess Elizabeth married Prince Philip in 1947.

BBC报道称，这是自18世纪以来首次在威斯敏斯特大教堂举行的英王葬礼。2002年，英女王的母亲伊丽莎白王太后的葬礼也在此举行。

There hasn't been a monarch's funeral service in the abbey since the 18th Century, although the funeral of the Queen Mother was held there in 2002.

11时55分左右，葬礼仪式进入尾声，军号手演奏《最后岗位》，英国全国默哀两分钟。随后，葬礼在英国国歌和哀乐声中结束。

Towards the end of the funeral service the Last Post - a short bugle call - was played followed by a two-minute national silence. The National Anthem drew the Service to a close.

The royal women travelled behind in state limousines with the Princess of Wales and her children George and Charlotte with the Queen Consort and the Duchess of Sussex travelling with the Countess of Wessex.

Just after 16:00, the coffin entered St George's Chapel for a committal service, which was attended by a smaller, more personal congregation of about 800 guests.

The service, whose congregation was largely made up of current and former staff from the Queen's household and private estates, included traditions symbolising the end of her reign.

The Imperial State Crown and the Sovereign's orb and sceptre were removed from the top of the coffin by the Crown Jeweller, separating the Queen from her crown for the final time.

英国王室官网The Royal Family表示，女王的爱犬柯基Muick和Sandy以及喜爱的小马Emma也出现在了温莎的送行队伍之中。
