As tearful mourners watched on, the Queen's four children stood guard of their mother's coffin for more than 10 minutes at Westminster Hall this evening. The siblings each guarded a side of the coffin, with Charles, dressed in a Navy Admiral uniform, standing at the head. It was their second, and final, vigil for the beloved monarch. Known as the 'Vigil of the Children' - an honor dating back to the time of George V - it mirrors a previous event held earlier this week at St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh. However, unlike the previous vigil in which Charles donned a kilt and Andrew a morning suit, all four siblings were tonight dressed in military colors.

Expert claims Her Majesty will not be buried in priceless jewels but simply her gold wedding band

Humble' Queen Elizabeth will be laid to rest wearing two sentimental pieces of jewellery: Expert claims Her Majesty will not be buried in priceless jewels but simply her gold wedding band and pair of pearl earrings The Queen's wedding ring is made from Welsh gold, continuing a royal tradition stretching back to 1920s Lisa Levinson said it is 'unlikely' she will be buried with anything else other than a pair of pearl earrings  Added that her engagement ring will likely be given to her daughter Princess Anne  At her Coronation, the Queen wore a crown glittering with jewels and wielded a sceptre boasting the world's largest white diamond. But a royal expert has predicted that Her Majesty will be buried with just two pieces of jewellery. Lisa Levinson, head of communications at the Natural Diamond Council, told Metro.co.uk that it would be 'unlikely' that the 'humble' Queen will be buried with anything other than her 'simple Welsh gold wedding band to rest and a pair of pearl earrings'. She added that her engagement ring, which contains diamonds taken from a tiara owned by Prince Philip's mother Alice of Battenberg, will likely be given to her daughter Princess Anne. The Queen's wedding ring was passed to her after being given to her parents for their wedding in 1923. It began a royal tradition of having wedding rings made from Welsh gold. It was made from the Clogau St. David's gold mine. Her Majesty's private jewellery collection holds around 300 pieces, including 98 brooches, 34 pairs of earrings and 15 rings. When not worn by the monarch, they were stored in the Queen's Gallery at Buckingham Palace. The official Crown Jewels are held in the Tower of London. Dating back to the 17th-century, the collection includes more than 23,000 diamonds, sapphires and rubies. Her Majesty's state funeral will take place in Westminster Abbey next Monday, after she lies in state in her oak coffin for four days at Westminster Hall nearby. The Queen's coffin is currently in Edinburgh's St Giles Cathedral, where thousands of mourners filed past overnight and this morning to pay their respects. It is set to be flown to RAF Northolt tonight and will then be driven to Buckingham Palace.
