Order of the Garter

Queen Elizabeth II will be buried at St George's Chapel in Windsor on Monday evening following the conclusion of the state funeral at Westminster Abbey.

It is believed the order was inspired by events at a ball in northern France, which was attended by the King and Joan, Countess of Salisbury.
