Following Elizabeth II’s burial, mortal remains of Prince Philip will also be moved there. (Image: AP)

Did you know that the Queen’s coffin, which is made of English oak, was crafted over three decades ago? According to a report published in The Times , the coffin is lined with lead so that it can preserve the mortal remains. The lead will keep the moisture out by making the coffin completely airtight. This same technique was also used in Prince Philip’s casket. (Image: Twitter/@RoyalFamily)
