Broadcasters are gearing up to provide extensive coverage of the event, which some predict could be the most-watched TV broadcast of all time.
Just after 10.35am, the Queen’s coffin will be lifted from the catafalque on which it has been placed since Wednesday, and will be carried in procession to the Royal Navy’s state gun carriage. At 11.55am, the Last Post, a short fanfare associated with military funerals, will sound followed by a two-minute silence.
The procession is expected to reach Wellington Arch at 1pm, at which point the coffin will be moved to the state hearse, which will depart for Windsor where the Queen is to be buried. King Charles and other royal family members who are walking in the procession will join it at 3.40pm at the quadrangle on the north side as it passes into Engine Court.
