HER FINAL JOURNEY

The last details are in place for Britain’s farewell to Queen Elizabeth II.

More than a million people will line the streets of London this Monday morning to be part of the historic scenes of pomp and splendour and sorrow and solemnity, as Her Majesty’s coffin is taken from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey.

There will be 2,000 in the congregation, including Armed Forces veterans, NHS staff and charity workers.

The Queen’s coffin will be transported from the abbey to Wellington Arch at Hyde Park Corner, before she is carried by State Hearse to Windsor.

There, she will be lowered into the Royal Vault at St George’s Chapel, where she will join her beloved husband the Duke of Edinburgh and parents King George VI and the Queen Mother, and where her sister Princess Margaret’s ashes are interred.
