On top of Queen Elizabeth’s coffin rests the Imperial State Crown.
The crown is perhaps the most familiar item in the Crown Jewels – a priceless collection of tens of thousands of gemstones.
It sparkles with nearly 3,000 stones – including 2,868 diamonds, 273 pearls, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds, and five rubies.
During her reign, Queen Elizabeth II wore the crown annually for the State Opening of Parliament.
