Grieving friends and family were pictured arriving at the service at Holy Trinity Church in Stourpaine on Monday.
Police sealed off all roads in the area during the service to allow Elliot's coffin to be driven to the church.
Following the service, some attendees went to The White Horse Inn pub.
King Charles and Camilla were not pictured at the event but are understood to have been in attendance.
The village is close to Camilla's heart as the funerals of the Queen Consort's brother, Mark Shand, and her father Major Bruce Shand were both previously held at the Holy Trinity Church.
Today King Charles is set to attend a Royal Victorian Order event.
There will be over 500 guests including his brothers Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.

Former MP Norman Baker, serving member of the Privy Council has criticised Prince Andrew's pursuit of returning to public life.
He told The Sun: “Prince Andrew is going to any length possible to worm his way back into public life.
"The only order he should be given is the order of the boot.
"He is simply being allowed to play dressing up as a royal for the day when really he should be serving a long period of silence.”
