One million people gathered in London for Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral and ceremonial procession on Monday.
The Queen’s funeral was held at Westminster Abbey. The coffin was then transported in a ceremonial procession to St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, where she was laid to rest.
The day after the Queen’s funeral, cleanup efforts began on the quiet, empty streets.
A forklift truck cleared away fencing from The Mall, where the ceremonial procession had passed.
Bag scanners and security equipment set up outside Parliament were loaded back onto trucks and cleared away.
People who waited in the miles-long line to see the Queen lying in state went through airport-like security.
In Parliament Square, cleaners swept the streets.
Members of the public camped out in Parliament Square the night before the funeral to secure a spot with good visibility of the proceedings, SW Londoner reported.
Workers removed road closure signs as streets reopened to traffic.
Roads throughout London were closed for the funeral procession.
Workers also reinstalled traffic lights that had been removed for the funeral and procession.
Sky News reported that the traffic lights were removed so that they wouldn’t block cameras filming the Queen’s journey to her final resting place.
On Windsor’s historic High Street, located near the end of the procession, garbage collectors helped remove bags of trash.
The Queen was buried next to Prince Philip in the Royal Vault beneath St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. Also buried there are King George VI, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, and Princess Margaret, the Queen’s only sibling.
Mourners in other parts of the UK, such as Hillsborough Castle in Northern Ireland, also left tributes that required cleanup.
The Hillsborough Gardening Team and other volunteers collected piles of flowers left by members of the public to be replanted or composted.
