The hero pallbearers who carried the Queen's coffin at her state funeral are returning to the Middle East to combat ISIS militants. The eight soldiers from the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards were flown from Iraq to attend the funeral on Monday. They were lauded for their work on Her Majesty's final and tragic journey, while billions of people around the world followed their excitement as they celebrated their deep admiration for 'Queen and Country'. Nevertheless, the band of brothers will fly back to an airbase in northern Iraq used to combat ISIS militants in Syria this week.

Such was David Sanderson's dedication to his solemn service that he did not have to breathe a single word that he had been chosen as a pallbearer to his parents or younger brother. Rather, they learned of his participation only after photographs of the funeral rehearsals were published by MailOnline. Carolyn (pictured): When she learned her 19-year-old son had been chosen for such a "enormous role," she expressed pride. "I'm beyond proud," she said. It's just been amazing. I can't believe it happened.'

XXIX: MailOnline has announced today that the eight pallbearers who heroically carried the Queen's 500lb lead-lined coffin included an 'underdog' whose "sole aim," was to support Elizabeth II, a bodybuilder bearer, a surf-mad warrior, and the Sandhurst instructor who supervised them. The soldiers have been praised for their excellence in executing Her Majesty's last and sad journey, while billions of people are around the world. Their families have expressed their deep admiration for the work they did for 'Queen and the country.' On Monday night, the King and his close relatives gathered Her Majesty in the royal tomb, but their most important function was carried out in secrecy, when they laid Her Majesty to rest with her husband, father, and mother in sister.

Despite calls for the hand-picked pallbearers to win the awards, the eight Grenadier Guards who bore the Queen's coffin could be awarded certificates rather than being made Members of the Order of the British Empire (MBEs). Military leaders, politicians, and celebrities have all pleaded for the Queen's faultless pallbearers to be MBEs. Throughout the services, the Grenadier Guards who carried the Queen's coffin into Westminster Abbey and St George's Chapel displayed incredible composure. On Monday, the pallbearers were seen doing their solemn service; then, from top left, and Morpeth's David Sanderson.

The eight men were handpicked from the regiment's Queen's Company's Company, and included a teenager and a former reservist. They were led by a ninth soldier, Company Sergeant Major Dean Jones, a married father-of-one, with another guard at the back of the coffin. Former Army Lord Dannatt, MPs Dan Jarvis, Tobias Ellwood, and SAS: Who Dares Wins Actor Ant Middleton said the soldiers should be made Members of the British Empire last night (MBEs). There is a precedent for such an award, as the Grenadiers, who were responsible for carrying Sir Winston Churchill's coffin in 1965, received the British Empire Medal (BEM).

The eight soldiers from the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards raised and laid down the Queen's 500lb lead-lined coffin no less than ten times on her ride from Westminster Hall to St George's Chapel in Windsor, with the eyes of the world on them. Although their steady shoulders impressed all of those who watched yesterday, it is their friends and families who are now brimming with pride, with some calling for them to be awarded gold and 'drinks funds' to be established for the young men. Luke Simpson (pictured right) of his local football team has been lauded for his flawless appearance under such pressure.

XCLUSIVE: Following Her Majesty's death, the monarch left RAF Northolt on his private jet he used during his tour of the United Kingdom, and he will land in Aberdeen this lunchtime. Camilla, the Queen Consort, is by his side (main photo). His flight to Scotland came after Her Majesty hiked in Balmoral from a previously unseen photograph of her Majesty hiking in Balmoral, which was released only as Charles put her to rest during a private interment at St George's Chapel last night. At 10.30 a.m., the King was escorted into the Royal Air Force station in north London. The King's Funeral Outriders removed their helmets and bowed while boarded (top right) with his wife, as the Royal Family observes a period of remembrance from now to seven days after the Queen's Funeral. All public appearances have been postponed until Tuesday. Charles is set to visit the castle where his mother died 12 days earlier. On the Balmoral estate in Aberdeenshire that Charles inherited from the Queen Mother after her death in 2002, he may also spend time at Birkhall, his Scottish home on the Balmoral estate. Buckingham Palace has been asked to speak by MailOnline. Following her burial, the King is visiting the estate that his mother adored in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park. Within 24 hours of his father's funeral in April 2021, Charles returned to his rural home in the Welsh countryside.

Her Majesty's long journey to her final resting place began in Balmoral on the day of her death on September 8 and ended last night with her private homilie next to Prince Philip, with the new King's coffin scattered with dirt on his mother's coffin at 7.30 p.m. In loving memory of Her Majesty The Queen's birthday, the royals unveiled a tribute titled "In loving memory of Her Majesty The Queen" and posted a never-before-heard snapshot of her with her parents, sister, and husband at Buckingham Palace. The touching post, published on King Charles III's first address to the nation as monarch, in which he referenced Shakespeare's timeless play Hamlet, 'May flights of Angels sing thee to the rest.' Queen Elizabeth II of England is at peace for eternity in the royal vault beneath St George's Chapel, with her husband, father, mother, and sister. Following the 'Us Four' concept pursued by her father George VI, she is the 12th British monarch to be buried at Windsor and has chosen to be with her family. Following his brother's deposition, he told his daughter that a happy and united Royal Family was the most significant thing in life after the duties of a monarch.

The nine soldiers from the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards (pictured left) raised and dropped the Queen's 500lb lead-lined coffin no less than ten times on her ride from Westminster Hall to St George's Chapel in Windsor, catching the world's attention. That alone, which saw them at one point lift the coffin up the steep stairs of the 450-year-old chapel's steep stairs, was enough to warrant high praise - with admirers around the country expressing: 'They have served our country and Her Majesty proud.' However, after the cameras had been turned off and the Queen's coffin had been lowered into the vault where her beloved Prince Philip lives, the hero guardsmen had one more challenge - perhaps the most difficult of the day. Thousands of people were killed in Balmoral, according to General The Lord Dannatt, the UK's former Prime Minister, and their final task was to transfer the Queen to her final resting place next to her beloved Prince Philip. Company Sergeant Major Dean Jones (pictured top right) was at the front, leading in exemplary style. The tall warrant officer, dressed in a ceremonial red tunic, walked ahead of Her Majesty's oak coffin, which weighed over 500 pounds due to its lead lining. One's married father of one marshalled his young team of pallbearers, which included 19-year-old Fletcher Cox (pictured below).

Thousands of troops paid tribute to Her Majesty the Queen by delivering a masterclass in ceremonial duties yesterday. The British and Commonwealth forces put on a spectacular display of pageantry, according to the verdict of a leading military figure who was stunned. All eyes, as well as a large television audience of 4 billion, were on the eight guardsmen escorting the monarch into the royal seat, according to Wellington Arch on Hyde Park Corner. The members of the Queen's Company, the Grenadier Guards, had been handpicked for the prestigious but difficult job.
