Queen Elizabeth II: A day-by-day guide from now to the funeral

The Queen’s coffin is lying in state at Westminster Hall for a fourth and final full day, ahead of her state funeral.

The hall is open 24-hours-a-day for members of the public to file past the coffin and pay their respects until 06:30 BST on Monday.

People who wish to pay their respects virtually can watch a dedicated BBC live stream.

Here is your guide to what will happen, day by day.

Today is the fourth and final full day that the Queen’s coffin will lie in state in Westminster Hall. Members of the public are able to walk past the Queen’s closed coffin, which rests on a raised platform, known as a catafalque.

Hundreds of thousands of mourners have paid their respects in the 11th Century building, the oldest part of the Palace of Westminster.

There is a huge queue, which is snaking along the South Bank, past the National Theatre, the Tate Modern and HMS Belfast, through to Southwark Park.

The UK government has published a live queue tracker for people to follow on YouTube. And if you have questions about what to bring and what you can’t take in, read our guide to attending lying in state.

At 20:00, a one-minute silence will be held across the UK. People are encouraged to mark the silence privately in their own homes, on the street with neighbours, or at community events and vigils.

Before the silence, a prayer service will be held at the Kelpies, 30-metre-high (98 ft) horse-head sculptures, near Falkirk. Ninety-six lanterns – one for each year of the Queen’s life – will be floated on the water surrounding the statues.

Heads of state are expected to begin to arrive in London for the Queen’s funeral. Some are expected to sign a book of condolence at Lancaster House.

King Charles III will hold an audience with Prime Minister Liz Truss at Buckingham Palace. The King and Camilla, the Queen Consort, will also host heads of state and official overseas guests for an “official state event”.

During the day, the prime minister will meet with a number of foreign leaders, including Taoiseach Micheal Martin, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau, Polish President Andrzej Duda and US President Joe Biden

Monday is the day of the Queen’s state funeral. It is a bank holiday in the UK.

The Queen’s lying-in-state will end at 06:30 BST when the last people will file past her coffin. The doors to Westminster Abbey will then open ahead of the funeral at 08:00.

At 10:44, the Queen’s coffin will be taken in procession from the Palace of Westminster to Westminster Abbey in the State Gun Carriage of the Royal Navy.

The carriage was last seen in 1979 for the funeral of Prince Philip’s uncle, Lord Mountbatten, and it will be drawn by 142 sailors from the Royal Navy.

King Charles III will walk behind, alongside the Princess Royal, the Duke of York and Earl of Wessex. Behind them will be the Queen’s grandsons, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Sussex and Peter Phillips.

The procession will be led by a massed pipes and drums of Scottish and Irish Regiments, the Brigade of Gurkhas, and the Royal Air Force – numbering 200 musicians.

The Queen’s coffin will arrive at the Abbey at 10:52. The state funeral will begin at 11:00.

At around 11:55, the Last Post will sound, followed by a national two-minute silence to be observed in the Abbey and throughout the UK. Reveille, the national anthem and a lament, played by the Queen’s piper, will bring the state funeral service to an end at around 12:00.

Among the 2,000 guests will be members of her family, senior UK politicians and heads of state from across the world, and representatives from the charities she supported.

Following the service, the coffin will travel in procession from Westminster Abbey to Wellington Arch. The King and senior royals will walk behind the coffin.

Camilla, the Queen Consort, the Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Sussex and the Countess of Wessex will follow the procession by car. Big Ben will toll at one-minute intervals.

From there the coffin will be taken by a state hearse to Windsor. Shortly after 15:00, the hearse will drive the coffin along Long Walk to St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle.

A committal service will then begin at 16:00.

Later in the day, in a private service, the coffin will be interred at the King George VI memorial chapel, inside St George’s Chapel.

The Queen’s coffin will be laid in the Royal Vault, beside her husband, the late Duke of Edinburgh, who died in April 2021.
