Queen's funeral: 49 pictures from across the North East

Whether it was a big screen in Newcastle, church services in North Yorkshire or pubs in Darlington, town centres and high streets were deserted as people paused to watch the funeral on TV.

Hundreds of thousands of well-wishers flocked to London and are lining the route through the capital to say their last goodbyes, while millions around the globe are watching proceedings on TV.

The King and his siblings walked behind the coffin as it left Westminster Abbey following the state funeral, while other royals are travelling by car.

During the service, Charles was visibly moved and looked close to tears as the national anthem was sung in the Abbey.
