Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral has ended and thousands have tuned in to watch the live broadcast and thousands more stood at the Abbey along the 40km route from central London to Windsor. The hearse travelled and finally arrived at Her Majesty’s final resting place in St. George’s Chapel, within the ground of Windsor Castle.

Many locations in Dubai screened it, including the QE2 in Port Rashid, Reform Social and Grill, The Scene and a few more.

It was an emotional viewing for many residents in Dubai
