The crown we are seeing at the funeral is the Imperial State Crown, which is the secondary British crown.
Saint Edward’s Crown is the one that is normally used to crown a King or Queen. It also has a purple cap, although red is used on heraldic representations, so people often expect it to be red.

The crown we are seeing at the funeral is the Imperial State Crown, which is the secondary British crown.I have been wondering about this-- the crown shown in old newsreels of George Vi's coronation seems bigger and the four "spines" are more curved.
My question for you is, why was Elizabeth given a smaller crown?
