The UK's longest-serving monarch, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth ll, has been laid to rest.
Some 2,000 people attended today's service at Westminster Abbey, with world leaders, UK prime ministers past and present and key figures from public life joining members of the royal family.
Across East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire many gathered in front of big screens to watch the service together.
Janet Mitchell lives in Hull and is a former member of the Women's Royal Army Corps, she told us: "The Queen was my boss for 9 years, and I swore an oath of allegiance to protect her while she was living and while I was in the army. I've said it before and I'll say it again, my oath has no expiry date. I loved her to bits. She was like a mother figure for everyone really."
Councillor Mike Ross is the Leader of Hull City Council and was at the gathering today: "The reasoning behind putting the screen up today was to give that chance for the community of Hull to come together, I think particularly for people who would have been on their own, this is a chance for them to come and share this experience with others."
A big screen was also set up at Sidney Park in Cleethorpes so people could come together and watch the funeral.
In Scunthorpe many went to the Vue Cinema to watch the Queen being laid to rest.
In Westminster Abbey, in London, The King looked very emotional during the singing of the National Anthem.
Charles remained silent during the song, while his siblings and members of the royal family sang along.
Gripping his ceremonial sword, Charles looked downcast as he stared straight ahead while a piper played Sleep, Dearie, Sleep.
State trumpeters from the Household Cavalry sounded the Last Post after the Archbishop of Canterbury's commendation over the Queen's coffin and a blessing pronounced by the Dean.
A two-minute silence followed, before Reveille was sounded by the trumpeters. The National Anthem was then sung by the congregation.
