Hundreds of thousands lined the streets; millions more viewed the somber ceremonies on television, as the Queen's regally bedecked casket was driven from Buckingham Palace's Westminster Hall to its final resting place at the royal family's 900 year-old Windsor Castle. Later Monday, in a private ceremony, she was interred in the Royal Vault in Windsor's St. George's Chapel, beside her husband, the late Prince Phillip, who died last year.

NPR’s London Correspondent Frank Langfitt has been covering the somber events and he joins us on our digital line from London.
