The Queen's funeral was held at Westminster Abbey. The coffin was then transported in a ceremonial procession to St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, where she was laid to rest.
A forklift truck cleared away fencing from The Mall, where the ceremonial procession had passed.
People who waited in the miles-long line to see the Queen lying in state went through airport-like security.
Members of the public camped out in Parliament Square the night before the funeral to secure a spot with good visibility of the proceedings, SW Londoner reported.
Roads throughout London were closed for the funeral procession.
Sky News reported that the traffic lights were removed so that they wouldn't block cameras filming the Queen's journey to her final resting place.
The Queen was buried next to Prince Philip in the Royal Vault beneath St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. Also buried there are King George VI, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, and Princess Margaret, the Queen's only sibling.
The Hillsborough Gardening Team and other volunteers collected piles of flowers left by members of the public to be replanted or composted.
