Queen Elizabeth II's headstone was officially unveiled today, with a photo released by Buckingham Palace, five days after the queen's burial in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
Placed near the memorial of George VI, father of Elizabeth II who died in 1952, on the tombstone are engraved, as before, the names of the parents of the queen, that of the sovereign and her husband Philip.
The slab, whose images 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.
A ledger stone has been installed at the King George VI Memorial Chapel, following the interment of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth.
