According to Popular announcement, September 19 is set aside for the funeral of the Monarch Queen Elizabeth II.
On Monday, September 19th, at 11:00 am (1000 GMT), Westminster Abbey in London will host the state funeral for Queen Elizabeth II, royal officials said on Saturday.
The queen, who passed away on Thursday at the age of 96, will subsequently be moved to St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, west of London, for a committal service, according to Buckingham Palace.
In the ballroom of Balmoral Castle in northeast Scotland, the queen’s body is currently in an oak casket with the Royal Standard for Scotland draped over it and a wreath of flowers on top.
It was described as “a scene of serene dignity” by royal authorities.
On Sunday, the queen’s casket will travel 290 miles (180 km) by car from the isolated estate to Edinburgh’s Palace of Holyroodhouse.
The casket will be transported from the Palace of Holyroodhouse to St. Giles’ Cathedral in the Scottish capital where it will repose until Tuesday.
The body will subsequently be flown to London‘s Buckingham Palace before beginning to lie in state at Westminster Hall on Wednesday.
