As her son King Charles and his brothers looked on, the Crown of Scotland was placed on Her Majesty's casket at Edinburgh's St. Giles Cathedral.
The solemn event occurred at the service this afternoon in the center of the Scottish capital.
The centerpiece of the Honours of Scotland, the oldest Crown jewels in Britain and among the oldest in Europe, the crown is made of gold, silver, and priceless stones.
The current version of the crown was created in 1540 for King James V of Scotland.
In its earliest form, the crown dates back to 1503, when it was depicted being worn by King James IV.
The Queen had herself held the crown in the same church, St Giles' Kirk just after her coronation.
