Five days after his burial at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, in Berkshire, England, Queen Elizabeth II’s headstone was officially unveiled on Saturday September 24. Buckingham Palace released a photo.
More precisely located at the George VI memorial, father of Elizabeth II who died in 1952, the new stone bears, as it already did before, the names of the Queen’s parents – the previous King and Queen Mother Elizabeth (1900- 2002) – and now the sovereign buried on Monday and her husband Philip (1921-2021).
The slab, images of which had previously appeared on social media, is made of hand-carved Belgian black marble, inlaid with brass letters, “to harmonize with the stone previously installed in the chapel”, according to Buckingham Palace. Dead on September 8 at the age of 96, after more than 70 years of reign, a record in the United Kingdom, Elizabeth II was buried Monday during a sumptuous state funeral.
