Describing the day ahead, Susanna, 51, said: "It will be a public farewell and a private time of sorrow for her family who have lost a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother."She said: "It is an enormous privilege to have been able to do that, to spend time paying our last respects, but also those hours in the queue as well, coming to an end now.
Around 2,000 guests are expected to attend the Westminster Abbey service to bid her farewell, with tens of thousands of mourners also expected to line the streets of central London as they witness the historic and poignant funeral procession that will see the monarch's final journey.
