Only members of the royal family will return to the chapel for the private burial service around 7:30 p.m. local time.

The burial will allow the Queen’s coffin to join the final resting places of her parents, King George VI andQueen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.

Queen Elizabeth’s final resting place will also be next toPrince Philip— her beloved husband of 73 years,who died in April 2021 at age 99. Prince Philip will be moved from the Royal Vault beneath the chapel, where he was temporarily interred.

The royal couple celebrated their 73rd anniversary just months before the Duke of Edinburgh’s death.

“She fell in love at age 18 and she never looked at anyone else,” Sally Bedell Smith, author ofElizabeth the Queen, previously told PEOPLE.

“He has quite simply been my strength and stay all these years,” the Queen said of her husband on their golden wedding anniversary in 1997. “I owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim.”
