Queen Elizabeth's death brings to an end the longest reign in the history of the United Kingdom. (Source: Reuters) Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning British monarch, breathed her last on September 8 at her summer home, the Balmoral Castle. Following her state funeral at Westminster Abbey — where she married Prince Philip in 1947 and was coronated in 1953 — the Queen’s graveside service will be held at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle on September 19. Finally, she will be buried at King George VI Memorial Chapel along with her parents King George VI and The Queen Mother, sister Princess Margaret and husband Prince Philip.
Throughout her unprecedented life journey, Queen Elizabeth has adorned countless exquisite jewels and her collection boasts of several tiaras and brooches, among other accessories. However, when she is buried on the 19th, it is reported that Britain’s former monarch will adorn only two very special and sentimental pieces of jewellery.
