Queen Elizabeth II laid to rest at the royal chapel in Windsor

Queen Elizabeth’s final resting place has been revealed with the release of a photograph of a ledger stone bearing her name.

A photograph released overnight by Buckingham Palace reveals the final resting place of Queen Elizabeth II.

The image shows a ledger stone bearing the Queen’s name, the names of her parents and of her husband Prince Philip installed at the King George VI Memorial Chapel in Windsor.

The King George VI Memorial Chapel sits within the walls of St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.

The stone is made of hand-carved Belgian black marble with brass letter inlays, to match the previous ledger stone installed there.

Britain’s longest reigning monarch was interred at the royal chapel following her state funeral in Westminster Abbey.

St George’s Chapel was begun by King Edward IV in 1475 and finished just over 50 years later by King Henry VIII.

The Queen commissioned the King George VI Memorial Chapel in 1962 as a burial place for Her father, King George VI. It was designed by George Pace and its construction was completed in 1969.

The Chapel is a Royal Peculiar, that is, a chapel which is not subject to a bishop or archbishop but which owes its allegiance directly to the Sovereign.

It is governed by the Dean and Canons of Windsor who are independent of the Royal Household.

St George’s Chapel holds daily services and is open to the general public.

King Charles III and the Queen Consort were married at the chapel in 2005.
