The Queen will then be buried at St George's Chapel, which is within the Windsor Castle estate, and is also where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle got married. Currently, the Queen's husband, Prince Philip, is not buried there.
Instead he is buried in the Royal Vault, which is also in St Georges Chapel, and he will be moved to be closer to the Queen. Normally St George's Chapel is open to visitors and is included in tickets for the tour of Windsor Castle however currently all Royal properties are closed due to the Queen's death.
Windsor Castle is the estate the Queen moved to permanently for the last years of her life. She died at Balmoral in Scotland, which is believed to have been her favourite estate.
Two thousand guests have been invited to attend the state funeral and members of the public can line the procession route as the Queen is taken from Westminster Abbey and to Windsor Castle. All major TV channels will also be broadcasting the funeral live.
