The funeral for Queen Elizabeth II drew to a close at London's Westminster Abbey at noon on Monday.
The Daily Sabah reports that trumpeters from the Household Cavalry sounded the "Last Post" following Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby’s commendation over the queen’s coffin and a blessing pronounced by the dean.
Two minutes' silence followed across the country before "Reveille" was sounded by the trumpeters, while the national anthem was sung by the congregation.
It added that a lament was played by The Sovereign’s piper as her coffin was carried out of Westminster Abbey to be placed on the State Gun Carriage.
Shortly after, as the organist played Bach’s "Fantasia in C minor," soldiers of the bearer party entered from the South Quire Aisle.
