London: The congregation stands for the presentation of the instruments of state

London, The Gulf Observer: The Imperial State Crown, the Orb, and Sceptre that are on the Queen’s coffin – and have been since she began lying in state last week – have been removed and are received by the Dean of Windsor, from the Queen’s Barge master and a Serjeant of Arms, who places them on the High Altar.

The Orb and Sceptre will be presented to King Charles on his coronation. There is speculation the new monarch may opt to wear the St Edward’s Crown at his coronation.

The congregation now sings its final hymn. This has been chosen by King Charles and his family.
