Ah, but Raymondo, that pic like many others was pre-service. The Queen like many other attendees did not take part in the funeral procession and was therefore pre-seated awaiting its arrival in the chapel. The procession followed the coffin into the chapel and once the coffin was in position for the service those who took part in the procession made their way to their allotted seat. The Queen was therefore not as alone as some pics suggest and for the service itself Andrew was but two seats away from her side in the same row and block. Interestingly, the vault in the chapel will not be the duke's final resting place. He will be removed on the Queen's passing and taken to Frogmore where both will be reunited in death.
