The Royal Family and guests have attended a service of thanksgiving for the Queen at St Paul’s Cathedral – but without the monarch herself. She is resting at Windsor Castle and is believed to have watched the service on television.

Many politicians were among the guests, including current Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie.
