The Queen's funeral was watched by billions around the world including homesick British ex-pats in New York City.
People gathered at English pub the Churchill Tavern where sorrow was etched on the faces of ex-pats who grieved their Queen from afar.
"You want to be there but this is the closest you can get," one person said.
The Churchill Tavern opened before dawn where people were comforting each other in a number of ways. Some clutching a cuppa, and some a pint of Guinness.
"To be surrounded by fellow English people feels better", says David who's lived in New York for 10 years.
"I've been sobbing [and] crying all morning, I'm very homesick," one said.
Another said: "It was incredibly moving, it was so beautiful."
And in the West Village at Tea and Sympathy, an area known as the Little Britain of the Big Apple, people have been leaving tributes to the Queen.
"We've been inundated with people," says owner Sean.
People have been handing out hugs and sharing stories.
"My mum used to play with the Queen in London when they were little girls," one person said.
Pictures of the Queen awarding an MBE to the owner's father hang on the wall of the British restaurant.
"Watching my father get that MBE was amazing."
One of many honouring the Queen's life today. A life that touched the world, with a farewell felt right the way around it
