Queen’s Elizabeth II’s procession
Queen’s Elizabeth II’s procession from Westminster Abbey to Wellington Arch. This route is following a path that honored royal tradition and celebrated the Queen's legacy. Following a state funeral at Westminster Abbey, the late Queen Elizabeth II was carried just more than one-and-a-quarter miles through the streets of central London. The funeral procession departed from Westminster Abbey and proceeded towards the Wellington Arch of Hyde Park, who celebrates Great Britain's victories during the Napoleonic Wars, and the coffin was transferred to a hearse and taken to Windsor Castle for final burial.

The Cenotaph is a war memorial on Whitehall in London, England. Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, it was unveiled in 1920 as the United Kingdom's national memorial to the British and Commonwealth dead of the First World War, was rededicated in 1946 to include those of the Second World War, and has since come to represent British casualties from later conflicts. Most of the dead were buried close to where they fell, thus, the Cenotaph symbolises their absence and is a focal point for public mourning.. Over a million people visited the site within a week of the parade. — Wikipedia
