Since 1965, the United Kingdom has not had a state funeral.

100 presidents and heads of government attended the funeral ceremony at the abbey, which was attended by about 2,000 people.

As many as four billion people are expected to watch her funeral on television, making it one of the most watched television events of all time.

Thousands of military personnel were involved in the day, including 4,000 taking part in the funeral procession and 3,000 stationed in London and Windsor.

Experts told the Washington Post that the Queen was heavily involved in the planning of Monday's events and wanted to make sure the services weren't boring.

The long-reigning British monarch will have a simple inscription on his gravestone.
