Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, are expected to travel to London to pay their respects to the Queen.
Mourners wanting to pay their respects to the Queen are being warned to plan their train journeys to London in advance.The rail operator is asking people to leave plenty of time for travel during the official mourning period.
The Queen, who died on Thursday aged 96, will lie in state in Westminster Hall for four full days before her funeral, meaning the public will be allowed to view her coffin.On the day of the funeral, the Rail Delivery Group said it would not be possible to view both the funeral in London and then travel to Windsor where Her Majesty will be laid to rest.
"On the day of the funeral, Monday 19 September, people should plan carefully the timing of their journey home, as trains and stations are likely to be extremely busy."
