Key moments from the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II

A congregation of 2,000 people - including world leaders and royalty - were at Westminster Abbey for the Queen's state funeral service.

It was the first state funeral since that of former Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill in 1965 and the biggest ceremonial event since World War Two.

Our correspondent Rob Watson was following what happened.
