Soldiers and officials have, using a gun carriage and prop coffin, rehearsed the final journey of Elizabeth II in London in preparation for the clockwork-like precision required in one week’s times the Queen is laid to rest before the world.
The late Queen Elizabeth II will lie in state in Westminster Hall until Monday 19th, at which point the most meticulously and longest-planned military operation in history will swing into place, the Royal funeral.
The State Funeral of Her Majesty The Queen will take place at Westminster Abbey on Monday 19th September at 1100 (0600EST), when the lying in state ends and the Queen’s coffin being taken in a procession to Westminster Abbey next door where the funeral will take place.
