Royal family, including King Charles, Prince William and Kate Middleton, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, united in grief at Queen's funeral
Last modified on Sep 19, 2022 09:11 BST Gemma Strong The country came to a standstill on Monday morning in honour of Her Majesty the Queen's state funeral.Eleven days after she passed away, great throngs of people took to the streets of London around Westminster Abbey – the same place the Queen had married her beloved husband Prince Philip some 75 years ago. Many have camped out overnight, eager to say their final goodbyes and be a part of world history.
Before the service, conducted by the Very Rev David Hoyle, Dean of Westminster, the tenor bell will be tolled every minute for 96 minutes, reflecting the years of the Queen's remarkable life.Among the many dignitaries attending the historic funeral are President Joe Biden, Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco and Spain's King Felipe and Queen Letizia.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte will walk with their parents in a side-by-side in formation, followed by their uncle and aunt, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and other members of the royal family.The service itself will begin at 11am and will last for one hour before a procession sets off at 12.15pm to Wellington Arch, Hyde Park Corner, arriving at 1pm.
A private burial service will then take place at 7.30pm to allow members of the royal family to mourn in private and say their final goodbyes.The Queen's final resting place will be the King George VI memorial chapel, an annex to the main chapel where her mother and father were buried, along with the ashes of her sister, Princess Margaret.
