Hundreds of world leaders and members of the Royal Family paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II at her state funeral on Monday.

Before the service, the former monarch's children and some grandchildren stood in formation behind the gun carriage that carried her to her funeral.

US President Joe Biden was in attendance alongside his wife Jill Biden, with New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern also flying into London for the service.
