The Duke of Richmond carries the Sword of State in front of her, while the Duke of Norfolk, as Earl Marshal, and the Deputy Lord Chamberlain, Lord Aveland, precede her. The Queen is dressed in a black velvet gown with a train adorned with crape and miniver, and wears a long tulle veil topped with a small diamond crown. Her ornaments include a diamond necklace, the Koh-i-Noor brooch, the ribbon and star of the Garter, and the decorations of the Victoria and Albert Order.
