The monarch will be laid to rest with her late husband Prince Philip at the King George VI
memorial chapel during a private service and burial on Monday evening.

This will follow her state funeral at Westminster Abbey, which begins at 11am.

Details:

Journey to Westminster Abbey

The lying in state at Westminster Hall will conclude at 6.30am, with the doors
closed in preparation for the funeral.

Shortly after 10.35am, the coffin will be lifted and carried in procession to
the state gun carriage of the Royal Navy positioned outside the north door.


The 123-year-old gun carriage will then set off at 10.44am, pulled by 98
Royal Navy sailors using ropes in a tradition that dates back to the funeral of
Queen Victoria, with the route to the Abbey lined by members of the Royal
Navy and Royal Marines.

A tri-service guard of honour will take place on Parliament Square,
accompanied by the band of the Royal Marines.

Following the Queen's coffin will be the King, Anne, Andrew and Edward.
Behind them will be the Queen's grandsons Peter Phillips, the Duke of Sussex
and the Prince of Wales.

They will be followed by the Queen's son-in-law Vice Admiral Sir Tim
Laurence, her cousin the Duke of Gloucester, and her nephew the Earl of
Snowdon.

The procession, led by a massed Pipes & Drums of Scottish and Irish
Regiments, the Brigade of Gurkhas, and the Royal Air Force and numbering
200 musicians, will arrive at 10.52 and the coffin will be carried into the
Abbey for the service.

The doors to Westminster Abbey will have opened at 8.00am to allow the
general congregation to take their seats, with a total of 2,000 people
expected to gather for the funeral.

[bots]

they say it will be the biggest organised event since the end of the war

[Crimson Dynamo]

Towards the end of the service, the Last Post will be played, followed by a national two-
minute silence. The conclusion of the state funeral, expected at 12:00, will be marked by a
lament played by the Queen's piper.

Yeah Andrew and Anne, the Queen stopped breeding corgis in 2012 as she didnt want to leave young dogs behind and I think the last of her corgis died in 2015 but in 2020 she was given a puppy, after Philip died Andrew gave her a puppy so I guess the deal was he would look after it.

The flag is called the Royal Standard, and it represents the sovereign and the
United Kingdom. It is split into four quarterings, with the colours red, yellow and blue.

Each quartering represents a country in the UK (excluding Wales): England
takes up the first and fourth quarters and is identified by the three lions
passants; Scotland is the second quarter with a lion rampant and Ireland,
portrayed with a harp is the third quarter.

I ain’t switching the telly on again till tomorrow night when hopefully I won’t be swamped at every channel with ‘mostly’ faked emotions …

I quickly switched over to the music channels only to be greeted by a flaming CHRISTMAS songs channel !!!

Even TalkSport has succumbed to the ‘pressure’ to discuss every conceivable possibility and angle . It was grim last week when all the hosts and ex footballers were having to pretend to be devastated at the breaking news - at least today they’ve imported some suitably respectful, morose individuals waffling on .

There is a strong presence of former military personnel among the crowds of
mourners on Constitution Hill, outside Buckingham Palace

Among them was 25-year Royal Navy veteran Dave Mills, who served in the
Falklands and first Gulf wars. He was brimming with pride His son Tim, who
followed his father into the Navy, will be marching alongside the Queen's coffin
later this morning.

As Chief of Parade Staff, Portsmouth, he has been responsible for training the
gun carriage detachment ahead of the big day.

"I just spoke to him 10 minutes ago," said Mr Mills, 66, his chest festooned with
medals. "I think there are a few nerves, but I'm extremely proud of him. He's
got the best job here. He's been training for this moment for five years. He left
Portsmouth at 1am this morning.

National Rail tell mourners to go to the pub

National Rail has encouraged mourners to go to pubs and cafes after the state funeral to
ease the pressure on the rail network.

A post on the network's Twitter account read: "Cafes, pubs and other hospitality
providers around London are expected to be open this afternoon, so please don't rush
home immediately following the state funeral and final procession so you can continue
marking this historic day and help ease pressure on the rail network."

This was superb all through.
The actual service in the Abbey seemed to lose its like continuity a bit.

However excellent to see, we have this and do this all so brilliantly, I'd never want that to be lost.

It really touched me.
As all this has since the passing of Her Majesty the late Queen.

It's been a rollercoaster of a couple of weeks.
I always was a Monarchist, I'm certainly even more cemented in my thinking as to that now.
Not that I think all they do is right.
No way.
However I'd hate to think of this Nation under a President.

[Nicky91]

what has been said before in this thread, a very historic moment this



my own opinion on Queen Lizzie, not to sound like a cliché now but like the song goes, a gracious queen


and i am liking Charles a lot more recently, and him and Camilla make a beautiful couple too, much more natural fitting together rather than him and Diana, i wish him best of luck on his reign as the new monarch and i am interested and curious what he'll do with his charity, pass it onto William or keep it as king's trust since it is a very important charitable cause which he always deeply cared for too, for development and improvement of vulnerable young people in terms of homelessness, mental health




well spoken again from PM Truss as well




busy times for our own King & Queen too, Willem Alexander having his 3rd tuesday of september prinsjesdag speech tomorrow, good he was still able to find the time to attend this funeral alongside his mom and wife

Hopefully energy and fuel prices drop now as a mark of respect to the Queen. I wonder if those OAPs in their dingy one bed flats wear black when trying not to freeze to death this winter.

This massive showing is part of the problem, but like sheep we follow and worship it. We are told this is how the world should work, when in reality it's utter bollocks. Im a realist, the world will never be a "i love you and you love me, we are all equal" utopia, but jeez, just watching this again now, it's surreal and just plan madness.

Also, isn't it AMAZING 90% of the country can you unite on this, but with everyday mundane stuff will all argue until the cows come home?

This was superb all through.
The actual service in the Abbey seemed to lose its like continuity a bit.

However excellent to see, we have this and do this all so brilliantly, I'd never want that to be lost.

It really touched me.
As all this has since the passing of Her Majesty the late Queen.

It's been a rollercoaster of a couple of weeks.
I always was a Monarchist, I'm certainly even more cemented in my thinking as to that now.
Not that I think all they do is right.
No way.
However I'd hate to think of this Nation under a President.

what has been said before in this thread, a very historic moment this



my own opinion on Queen Lizzie, not to sound like a cliché now but like the song goes, a gracious queen


and i am liking Charles a lot more recently, and him and Camilla make a beautiful couple too, much more natural fitting together rather than him and Diana, i wish him best of luck on his reign as the new monarch and i am interested and curious what he'll do with his charity, pass it onto William or keep it as king's trust since it is a very important charitable cause which he always deeply cared for too, for development and improvement of vulnerable young people in terms of homelessness, mental health




well spoken again from PM Truss as well




busy times for our own King & Queen too, Willem Alexander having his 3rd tuesday of september prinsjesdag speech tomorrow, good he was still able to find the time to attend this funeral alongside his mom and wife

Very moving….

Ideally the journey down the Long Walk and the service at Windsor was the best part and many would say all that was needed.
This mornings gathering and service in London was for the World leaders to come together and pay their respects to a much respected and admired Monarch. A simple service at Windsor was not befitting such a a Queen reigned for 70 years.
The pomp and pageantry was faultless and just amazing….it’s all part of our heritage…nobody does it better and that’s why tourists flock to this country of ours.

No they were walking down the flanks by the crowds…the one in front turned to look at him behind and the next thing you knew was he walked across and into the main group in the centre of the parade and walked around before returning to the flanks…it was really odd…

Earlier you bought the poor people into the argument and now it’s the turn of the poor animals.

This funeral is hard to take in, that the Queen is in that coffin.

Seems like yesterday I was watching her Queen's Speech on Christmas Day, which I did every year. When she was beaming with health.

It's so surreal.
The Queen has had an amazing send off , biggest funeral.

The choreography of everyone involved, such dedication & you can see they feel honoured.

I don’t know why the second verse isn’t sung…it’s the Anthem at the end of the day. Compared to many world wide it’s a good Anthem…I love the American one the best if I’m honest.
I’m sure the Words would have been on the song sheet though. I’m always aware when people do not sing the Anthem…especially at Football games. Each to their own but you would have expected members of the family to be singing it tbh.
