St George's Chapel, Windsor: Queen Elizabeth II's final resting place (Sky News)

The Queen has been buried in St George's Chapel alongside her husband Prince Philip, at her beloved Windsor Castle. The historic chapel is the final resting ...

In the Royal Vault are the tombs of George III, as well as Queen Victoria's father Prince Edward. Edward III's sword is kept in St George's Chapel - he lived at Windsor Castle in the fourteenth century and it was this king of England who proclaimed St George protector of the Royal Family. The Queen's father is buried in here, along with her mother and her sister Margaret, who was cremated because there wouldn't have been room otherwise. Also in this vault is the body of a child of Queen Anne. Charles I is also buried in here - his burial was secretive following his beheading. It is the same seat on which Henry VIII worshipped 500 years ago.
