The stone is hand carved from black Belgian marble and is installed at the King George VI Memorial Chapel that sits within the walls of St George’s Chapel, Windsor. She was buried after a state funeral in Westminister Abbey. The late monarch commissioned the King George VI Memorial Chapel in 1962 as a final resting place for her father, George VI.
