The state funeral for Queen Elizabeth II will be held at Westminster Abbey in London on September 19 at 10:00 GMT, according to Buckingham Palace.
The Queen will “Lie-in-State” in Westminster Hall for four days before to the funeral so that mourners can pay their respects.
The palace provided a thorough statement, stating that the Queen’s casket is currently in the ballroom of Balmoral Castle.
It was described as “a scene of serene dignity” by royal authorities. On Sunday, the queen’s coffin was transported 290 kilometers (180 miles) by car from the isolated estate to Edinburgh’s Palace of Holyroodhouse.
The casket will be transported from the Palace of Holyroodhouse to St. Giles’ Cathedral in the Scottish capital where it will repose until Tuesday.
The body will subsequently be flown to London’s Buckingham Palace before beginning to lie in state at Westminster Hall on Wednesday.
A military parade and members of the Royal Family will then accompany Her Majesty as she is slowly escorted from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall. The coffin will then be covered in the Royal Standard, and once it is inside Westminster Hall, the Imperial State Crown, orb, and sceptre will be placed atop it.
The Queen’s coffin will be carried in a walking procession from the Abbey to Wellington Arch at London’s Hyde Park Corner after the service before being transported by hearse to Windsor.
The coffin will then make its last trip to St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle on the same day as the funeral service for a televised committal service. Senior members of The Royal Family are likely to attend a private interment service that will take place later in the day.
The Queen’s casket will be lowered into the Royal Vault before being entombed with her parents, sister, and mother in the King George VI memorial chapel inside St. George’s Chapel.
From the Royal Vault to the church, the Duke of Edinburgh’s casket will be transferred so it can rest alongside the Queen’s.
The government said there would be no statutory right to time off and that the funeral day would function in the same manner as other bank holidays, with businesses being free to incorporate it as part of a worker’s leave entitlement.
