Queen Elizabeth's funeral has taken place today at Westminster Abbey with 2,000 people attending the service.

Here in West Yorkshire people gathered to watch the funeral on a big screen at Wakefield Cathedral.

In his sermon at the state funeral in Westminster Abbey, the Archbishop of Canterbury has told mourners the "grief" felt around the world over her death "arises from her abundant life and loving service", adding: "She was joyful, present to so many, touching a multitude of lives".

People were also invited into Bradford Cathedral earlier this morning to come together to watch the live stream.

Other mourners gathered at Millennium Gardens in Leeds to watch the service today. As the monarch is laid to rest, we've been speaking to people from West Yorkshire who have fond memories of meeting Queen Elizabeth II.
