The pallbearers who carried Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin at her state funeral September 2022 have been recognised in a special honours list. The eight servicemen were recognised in the list by King Charles III alongside a number of royal aides and military personnel for the roles they played during the period of national mourning.

The Queen’s dresser, Angela Kelly, has also been named. Queen Elizabeth II, Britain’s longest-serving monarch, died in September 2022, aged 96.

At the late Queen’s funeral, eight Grenadier Guards in uniform carried her coffin, draped in the Royal Standard flag, into Westminster Abbey in London. They also carried the lead-lined coffin up the steep steps of St George’s Chapel in Windsor, the Queen’s final resting place.

The eight Grenadier Guards are Lance Sergeant Alex Turner, Lance Corporal Tony Flynn, Lance Sergeant Elias Orlowski, Guardsman Fletcher Cox, Guardsman James Patterson, Lance Sergeant Ryan Griffiths, Guardsman Luke Simpson, and Guardsman David Sanderson.

The pallbearers, from the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards, have been recognised with the Royal Victorian Medal (Silver). The Royal Regiment of Scotland pallbearers who brought the Queen from Balmoral to her lying-in-state at St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh received the same honour.

Also included in the Demise Honours list were the Royal Air Force flight crew who transported the Queen’s coffin from Scotland to London, other coffin bearers, and senior government officials.
