The Queen’s funeral takes place today (Monday, September 19) in London with a service at Westminster Abbey, which starts at 11am British Summer Time (BST) with heads of state including US President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron in attendance. As well as foreign dignitaries, members of the Royal Family and politicians, 200 people who were recognised in the Queen’s birthday honours will also be at present. After the service, there will be a national two-minute silence just before the ceremony concludes.
The Queen had some special arrangements put in place for her funeral, including the order of service and its choice of music and readings, which will be reflective of the monarch.
The funeral will start off with a funeral procession with the Queen’s coffin carried from Westminster Hall to the Abbey.
During the procession, Prince Harry and Prince William will walk side-by-side.
The state funeral will end at midday with the Queen’s piper playing a lament.
Following the funeral service, the coffin will be carried to Wellington Arch and then taken to Windsor.
A committal service will take place at 4pm BST in St George’s Chapel with the Dean of Windsor leading the ceremony.
Finally, when the Queen’s coffin is placed in the royal vault, the Archbishop of Canterbury will read a blessing and the Queen’s piper will play a lament.
Close family members will be attending a private burial service at 7.30pm BST.
