On Saturday, Buckingham Palace released a photo taken from Queen Elizabeth’s final resting place at the Windsor royal chapel, which shows a ledger stone bearing her name, as well as the names of her parents, husband, and son Prince Philip.
The stone, which is constructed of black Belgian marble, is located in the King George VI Memorial Chapel, which was built by Queen Elizabeth in 1962 as a final resting place for her father, George VI. Following a formal funeral in Westminister Abbey on Monday, the queen was laid to rest there.
The brass lettering on the stone reads “George VI 1895-1952 / Elizabeth 1900-2002” on the top two lines, followed by a garter star and then “Elizabeth II 1926-2022 / Philip 1921-2021” on the bottom two lines.
Princess Margaret, a sister of Queen Elizabeth, is also buried at the chapel at Windsor Castle, which is located west of London.
After 70 years on the queen, Elizabeth passed away on September 8 at Balmoral Castle, her vacation home in the Scottish Highlands. Charles, her son, is now the king.
