Queen Elizabeth II was known to be particularly close to her father, George VI, so it seems only right that elements of their funerals mirrored one another. A state funeral for the late monarch took place in Westminster Abbey on Monday morning, before the coffin was taken on an emotional journey to St. George's Chapel, Windsor, where the Queen will be buried alongside Price Philip.
Before the burial, which will take place behind closed doors tonight, a committal service saw the Dean of Windsor read from the Book of Revelation – the same scripture that was heard at the Queen's father's burial in 1952.The text says: "I saw a new heaven and new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. It continues: "And I, John, saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. "And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with man, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. "And he said unto me. It is done.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son." George VI died of coronary thrombosis in his sleep at Sandringham House in Norfolk on 6 February 1952.
