In this video, I explore with you the last resting place of Queen Elizabeth II, the chapel she built in memory of her father king George VI. The Queen lies with Prince Philip and her parents in a vault beneath the chapel, which is a striking piece of 1960s modernist architecture with more than a nod to history and continuity and designed by architect George Pace of York. The process of designing and constructing this chapel took seven years, the work being completed in 1969. King George was buried there that year, with Queen Elizabeth his wife and Princess Margaret his daughter joining him in 2002 and Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip in 2022.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
