Her Majesty was laid to rest earlier today in a poignant ceremony, as members of the Royal Family gathered to say a final farewell.

Taking to Instagram, she shared photos from the emotional day with her followers.
‘Proud to represent 🇨🇦 w/ my fellow Order of Canada & Valour recipients @gregorycharlesofficiel @marktewks @palmerlp26 at Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II funeral at Westminster Abbey today,’ she simply penned. ‘Thank you @karenclarkson @tahira_makeup @stefanbertin.’

The Order of Canada was founded by the Queen in 1967, as a way of recognizing outstanding achievement, dedication to the community, and service to the nation across all sectors of society.
Oh was awarded an Order of Canada after raising her profile in the UK thanks to Killing Eve, in which she appears beside Jodie Comer.
The Grey’s Anatomy favorite was joined at the funeral by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, as well as current and former governors and leaders, who also travelled to London to represent their country.
