The picture, which shows a black-and-white casting of Queen Elizabeth II in her younger years, was shared on social media by the Eurotunnel le Shuttle.

It was projected across the water from Samphire Hoe on the Kent coast.

A spokesperson for Eurotunnel said: "In memory of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

"Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth, may you rest in peace."

Meanwhile, people from Kent have described their "surreal" but "amazing" experience after making the journey to London to pay their respects to the Queen.

Men, women and families from across the county have paid tribute to her late Majesty after travelling – sometimes days in advance – to mark her journey to her final resting place.

One Royal fan even spent her birthday camping out on The Mall to ensure a good view of the funeral procession.

They joined the rest of the nation in bidding a final farewell to The Queen after more than 10 days of national mourning.

Following a funeral service attended by close to 2,000 people, Her Majesty's coffin was led through London on to Windsor, in a specially-designed hearse, where she was buried next to husband Prince Philip and other members of her family.
