Correspondent Kwak Sang-eun, it's past 12 noon now, but the funeral ended a little while ago, right?

Yes, it is.
You can see the Westminster area behind me now. The funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, which started here at 11 am and 7 pm Korean time, ended a little while ago.
The Queen's coffin now circles the city center and will soon be transported to her final burial site, Windsor St.
Before her funeral began, her Queen's coffin was moved from Westminster Hall, where it had been held for civil mourning, to Westminster Abbey, across the street from her burial site, to the music of the Navy Band's bagpipes and drums.
The funeral, which was broadcast live from 11 am, ended in about 55 minutes, followed by a two-minute silence throughout the UK shortly thereafter.
The Queen's coffin, now followed by royal dignitaries, travels through Wellington Arch and Hyde Park near Buckingham Palace, biding farewell to the public in London.
During this time, London's famous Big Ben bell rings every minute, and a salute is fired at Hyde Park.
After that, it will be moved to St. George's Church in Windsor Castle and will be buried next to her husband, Prince Philip, who died earlier in April last year after a private service attended only by members of the royal family.
