Not only that, but another small detail in the hearse can also be seen as a symbolic gesture. Having been both the longest-serving monarch and the matriarch of a large, significant family, to say Queen Elizabeth was a well-known global public figure is an understatement. To this effect, according to a tweet by Twitter user Roya Nikkhah, part of the hearse design for which the late Queen was consulted includes large window panes, in which her raised coffin can clearly be seen from all sides. Lights were also installed in this part of the hearse, and Twitter user Royal Central said in their tweet that the lights were made to allow the Queen “to be seen in death as she was in life.”
