On Monday, Britain will pay final tribute to Queen Elizabeth II with a grand state funeral that's expected to be attended by almost 2,000 guests. Here's how the day is expected to unfold.
The day of the funeral has been long-planned and is finely choreographed. Here’s what to expect. All times are local, five hours ahead of Eastern time.Guests can begin entering Westminster Abbey. Royals and world leaders, among them President Biden, will arrive from a location in Chelsea.The queen’s coffin will be lifted onto the state gun carriage and transported in a short procession from Westminster Hall to nearby Westminster Abbey.
The procession will halt at the bottom of the west steps of St. George’s Chapel in Horseshoe Cloister. The coffin will be lifted from the hearse into the chapel. The majority of those attending St. George’s Chapel will not have attended the earlier service at Westminster Abbey.The Committal Service will begin. It will be conducted by the Dean of Windsor. Prayers will be said and a choir will sing a final hymn. The Lord Chamberlain will “break” his Wand of Office and place it on the coffin.
