(Picture: Stefan Rousseau/PA)Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral will take place on Monday, September 19, following her death on Thursday, September 8.
The UK is currently in a period of mourning, while the Queen lies-in-state at Westminster Hall.
Hundreds of thousands of mourners have queued for hours to visit her coffin and pay their respects to the Queen.
Monday’s ceremony will involve a procession to take the Queen to Westminster Abbey, where there will be a service for invited guests. The Queen’s funeral service will also be aired on BBC One.
As a result, a number of London cultural institutions, such as galleries, museums, theatres, and monuments, will be closed on Monday as a mark of respect.
