As the world says their final goodbye to Queen Elizabeth II, the Princess of Wales has made a touching tribute to her beloved grandmother-in-law.

Arriving at Westminster Abbey today with her two eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte in hand, Princess Kate made sure to pay homage to Her Majesty.

Kate, now known as The Princess of Wales, is wearing one of the Queen's pearl chokers at today's state funeral.

Looking elegant in her all-black mourning ensemble, Kate kept a piece of Queen Elizabeth close to her heart as she donned a striking pair of drop earrings and a triple-string pearl choker that belonged to the late monarch.

The Princess previously borrowed the delicate necklace at the 70th wedding anniversary
of the Queen and her husband, Prince Philip, in 2017 and again at his funeral in April last year.

Princess Diana has also worn the elegant piece of jewellery.

Diana wore the necklace - which is reportedly made with pearls gifted to the Queen from the Japanese government - during a royal banquet held at Hampton Court Palace in 1982.
