The tale of the two princes at Queen Elizabeth's service, in photos.
All eyes have been on Prince Harry and Prince William this week. The famous brother's have been navigating a famous rift. Royal watchers have been hoping the Queen's death would bring them back together. By many accounts, it would appear that has been happening. Well, at least as far as the public eye can see.
Yesterday's ceremonies were particularly poignant. The two princes escorted the Queen's coffin with their father, King Charles, and other family members. It was a nearly five mile walk from Buckingham Palace to Westminster. The boys did something similar when their mother, Princess Diana died. The Queen stepped in to help fill that maternal roll for them.
When the Queen's body arrived at Westminster, there was a service kicking off four days of public visits. People wanting to pay their respects to the Queen have been lining up for days. The queue is unreal. It stretches for more than four miles.
This week has been full of ceremonial events that have brought the brothers and their wives together. The Queen's actual funeral is Monday.
Here are some photos of the two Princes At Queen Elizabeth's service, and a few more from the day.

Moving Photos Of Queen Elizabeth’s Coffin And Procession
There are so many moving photos of Queen Elizabeth's coffin and procession, concluding ceremonies at St. Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland yesterday. The queen's body was taken from the cathedral to Buckingham Palace in London. Tens of thousands of people packed the streets to pay respects and bid farewell. Those on the ground say the large crowd was so quiet, that at times, you could hear a pin drop. The Queen's Scottish farewell was a six day affair.
Once the Queen's body landed in London, her coffin was placed in a glass hearse. The streets were once again packed. Onlookers stood in the rain, to catch a glimpse of the Queen's coffin as it made it's way to the palace.
Today is a big deal in Queen Elizabeth's funeral proceedings
Today, is when the Queen's coffin will be moved from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall. Once there, she will lie in state for four days. The day will be punctuated by an elaborate processional where King Charles and royal family members walk behind the Queen's coffin. The route, the ceremony is similar to that of Princess Diana's funeral twenty years ago.
The Queen's funeral is Monday.
Here are a few of the moving photos of Queen Elizabeth's coffin and procession, as it arrived in London from Scotland yesterday.
