Kate Middleton paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II at her funeral at Westminster Abbey on Monday by wearing a piece of jewelry from the Queen's collection.

Kate's four-strand pearl necklace with a diamond clasp, known as the Four-Row Japanese Pearl Choker, was given to the Queen from Japan in the 1970s, Yahoo! News reported. The Queen was photographed wearing the necklace in Bangladesh in 1983.
