The procession carrying the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II arrived at Westminster Hall, where her body will be laid until the national funeral next Monday, allowing the public to pay their last respects. Meanwhile, the crown placed on the coffin of the late British queen caught the attention of observers following the details of her ongoing funeral since last week. The British newspaper "Daily Mail" stated that the "Imperial State Crown" on the coffin represents the jewels symbolizing the queen's sovereignty. It added, "Elizabeth II wore it after her coronation in 1953 and continued to wear it once a year during the State Opening of Parliament." The "Daily Mail" noted that this royal crown contains 2,868 diamonds, 269 pearls, 17 sapphires, and 11 emeralds.
