Dozens of members of the Royal family are attending the Queen's funeral at Westminister Abbey on Monday.

Unlike his cousins William and Harry, Peter is not a prince and does not have a royal title. His sister Zara also does not have a royal title.
Neither of Princess Anne’s children were actually entitled to royal status through birth, as typically titles are given to a monarch’s grandkids through sons.
Peter's parents were rumoured to have refused offers from the Queen to give Peter and Zara a title. Their father Mark Phillips, had also turned down a title after the Queen offered him one as a wedding gift.
Princess Anne said in an interview with Vanity Fair that choosing not to give her children titles “was probably the right thing to do”.
She added: “I think it was probably easier for them, and I think most people would argue that there are downsides to having titles.”
Since the Queen died Peter has been seen alongside other members of the Royal Family, and was pictured alongside Princes Andrew, Edward and his cousins at Balmoral in the days following the Queen's death.
He followed the bearer party carrying the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II into Westminster Hall on Wednesday, alongside the King and his cousins. He also took part in the Vigil of the Princes on Saturday night alongside his cousins.
Peter, who was born in London, attended the University of Exeter and currently works as a managing director for SEL UK, a boutique sports management company.
He married Autumn Kelly, a Canadian management consultant, in 2008 in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. They have two children together however the couple divorced in 2021.
The Queen's funeral takes place at Westminster Abbey at 11am.
Following the funeral there will be a procession to Wellington Arch, Hyde Park Corner, before the Queen's coffin and the Royal Family head to Windsor.
There will then be a committal service at 4pm at St. George's Chapel before a private burial in The King George VI Memorial Chapel at 7.30pm.
