Summary (BBC):
Life will come to a standstill for millions as the UK says goodbye to Queen Elizabeth II
Her state funeral will take place at Westminster Abbey in London at 11:00 BST, with 2,000 people in attendance
Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to line the streets of the capital
Ahead of the funeral, King Charles said he had been “deeply touched” by public support for him and his family
Foreign royals and world leaders will join the Queen’s family for a service that will be watched by hundreds of millions globally
Schools are closed, as are many shops and other businesses, on the national bank holiday
After the service, the Queen’s coffin will be taken from the abbey to Wellington Arch, at London’s Hyde Park Corner
A hearse will then travel to Windsor for a final family ceremony at a chapel in Windsor Castle
Thank you! I’m up for it.
Question for those who are paying attention: is the queen’s body being interred in a crypt or a vault or do they have an underground catacomb as stylized in movies?
This was a very moving service. The coverage on BBC was the best and the coverage on NBC was clownish with the incessant and needless chatter from their idiot news people.
