Westminster Abbey can house more than 8,000 people, as it did for the queen’s coronation, but it often only seats 2,200 worshippers. Where will be her eternal resting place? The queen will likely be buried privately in Windsor Castle’s St. George’s Chapel, where she spent a large part of her later years. The queen will rest in eternity with her beloved late husband Prince Philip, her father King George VI, sister Princess Margaret, and other family members.
