On a bank holiday that will mean different things to different people, you may be wondering how to spend the day. Here are our suggestions for what to do on the day of Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral.
So, what are we supposed to do on Monday?
Whether you’d like to spend Monday reflecting on the life of the Queen or if you’re simply looking for something fun and respectful to do with your free time, here are a few ideas.On Monday, millions are set to head to Westminster Abbey and Windsor to watch the funeral procession. The bollards along The Mall are set to be removed so that crowds can observe the carriage as it rides by bearing the coffin.
“As humans, we are social creatures; connection with others is important to us, and a collective group gathering in any circumstance to watch the funeral offers an element of support that is welcome on a day of significance such as this,” says Henderson. “When grieving on any level, it’s important to have support around you. It can make a remarkable difference to be in a group setting such as a cinema with others around you.
On one hand, it’s a nice way to honour the late Queen. “Spending time with the people important to you is a wonderful tribute to a Queen who put her country first,” Henderson says. “Having a night in with family and friends could encourage memories and favourite moments over the last 70 years of the Queen’s reign if you wanted to celebrate her life this is a very personal way to do so.
