It reads George VI 1895-1952, then below that Elizabeth 1900-2002.

The Garter Star has been inscribed under the Queen Mother’s name and above the names Elizabeth II 1926-2022 and Philip 1921-2021.

All four of the royals were members of the Order of the Garter.

Palace sources said last night it was an entirely new ledger stone in the King George VI Memorial Chapel.

The public can see it when Windsor Castle reopens from September 29.

The Duke of Edinburgh's coffin had been interred for the past 17 months in Windsor’s Royal Vault, where it rested waiting for his wife to join him.

They were moved on Monday to King George VI’s chapel, where Charles led his family at the private burial service at 7.30pm.

The ashes of the Queen’s sister Princess Margaret are also in the tomb.
