Queen Elizabeth II's funeral was an emotional day for the royal family and the world beyond. On Monday, the members of the royal family took the global stage to say one final farewell to the longest reigning British monarch, who died on Sept. 8. In the days leading up to the funeral, the queen's family have made various public appearances, often keeping their composure. 

But the queen's funeral was clearly an emotional one. The funeral started with a few somber shots of King Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry, who joined the queen's other children during the processional into Westminster Abbey. William, who donned his military uniform -- alongside his father and aunt, Princess Anne -- led the procession behind his grandmother's coffin.
