Buckingham Palace has made public for the first time the marble where the longest-living queen in the history of England has been buried
The tombstone of Queen Elizabeth II has been officially unveiled this Saturday with the publication of a photo by Buckingham Palace, five days after her burial in St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.
Located precisely in the George VI memorial, father of Elizabeth II who died in 1952, the new tombstone bears the names of the queen’s parents – the former king and queen mother Elizabeth (1900-2002) -, and from now on that of the sovereign and that of her husband Felipe (1921-2021).
A photograph is released today of the ledger stone now installed at the King George VI Memorial Chapel, following the internment of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth.
