(Video: Reuters) The Long Walk Once in Windsor, the coffin traveled down the Long Walk, a more than 2.5-mile stretch created by King Charles II in the late 17th century. The tree-lined road connects Snow Hill — where it’s said King Henry VIII awaited news of the execution of Anne Boleyn — and Windsor Castle. Throngs of people crowded to view the hearse, which Elizabeth helped design so its glass windows and roof would make the coffin more visible to the public. Two of the queen’s beloved corgis, Muick and Sandy, as well as her beloved pony Emma, watched as well. ![]() The hearse carrying the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II is escorted along the Long Walk toward Windsor Castle.

The crown, orb and scepter were removed from the queens’ coffin before it was lowered into the royal vault, a symbol of the crown passing on. A visibly emotional Charles was named sovereign as “God Save the King” echoed through the chapel’s halls. Later in the evening, a private burial ceremony is scheduled to take place, concluding a day of remembering and mourning Queen Elizabeth II. ![]() The bearer party takes the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II into St George's Chapel.
