For the first time since the death of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II, Windsor Castle and St George’s Chapel, where the Queen was buried, opened to visitors on Thursday. As the British news agency PA reported, hundreds of people queued up in the morning to visit the Queen’s former weekend residence and tomb.
The Queen was buried in a side chapel of the church alongside her husband Prince Philip, who died last year, her sister Margaret and her parents.
Elizabeth II died on September 8 at the age of 96 at her country estate in Balmoral, Scotland. However, she spent most of the last years of her life in Windsor, around 40 kilometers west of London, where she had lived as a teenager during the Second World War.
