THE QUEEN made a subtle but heartfelt nod to her husband, Prince Phillip, with her funeral arrangement.
As her coffin made the journey down The Mall to Westminster Hall, eagle-eyed viewers noted the final way she paid tribute to her husband of 73 years.
Hello! reports that the wreath on the Queen's coffin is made up of dahlias, phlox, white heather, pine fir, and sweet peas from Balmoral Castle.
Similarly, when Price Philip was laid to rest in Windsor last year, the wreath on top of his coffin also featured sweet peas, among other flowers selected by the Queen.
Reportedly, Prince Phillip's wreath also contained white lilies, white roses, white freesia, white wax flower and jasmine.
Sweet peas are said to have been one of the Queen's favourite flowers.
