Earlier, in an hour long church service at the Abbey, which has existed and expanded since 960 AD and is located in central London, Elizabeth, who reigned for 70 years, was given the grandest of final farewells. She had got married at the same Abbey 75 years ago.

Murmu has been invited for a state reception at Buckingham Palace in London being hosted by King Charles III, who succeeded Elizabeth, and Queen Consort Camilla for foreign dignitaries today Sunday. This will take place after the visiting leaders have paid their respects to the body lying-in-state in a coffin with a bejewelled crown above it in Westminster Hall in the United Kingdom's Houses of Parliament.

Senior UK politicians, including Boris Johnson, the former prime minister, have referred to Elizabeth II as 'the Great' since she died last Thursday at the age of 96, Daily Mail reported. But Security Minister Tom Tugendhat referred to her as 'the Faithful' last week and today a former Conservative Party Treasurer insisted that it was the best moniker to use.

The website, Flightradar 24, said that about five million people followed along online as the late Queen was flown from Edinburgh to London on Tuesday, CNN reported.

In addition to the UK, Charles III now rules in 14 Commonwealth countries that were former dominions of the British Empire, Daily Mail reported.

"As I stand before you today, I cannot help but feel the weight of history which surrounds us, and which reminds us of the vital parliamentary traditions, to which members of both Houses dedicate yourselves with such personal commitment for the betterment of us all," King Charles III told the House of Commons and House of Lords on Monday at a ceremony in Westminster Hall, the oldest building on the parliamentary estate.

The UK entered a period of weeklong mourning for Queen Elizabeth II, who died at 96, even as the US mourned the death of over 3,000 on this day in 2001 in the worst-ever terror attacks in American history. Both the mighty democracies were in mourning on Sunday, as US President Joe Biden went to the British Embassy here to sign a long eloquent tribute to the passing of the Queen who had met no less than 13 of 14 US Presidents during her 70-year reign.
