Big screens will show the Queen's funeral across the UK but none are in Wales

The Queen's state funeral is set to take place on Monday, which has been declared a bank holiday in the UK. The funeral will be broadcast across Britain in several cinemas, cathedrals and parks, but there will be no mass gathering to watch the funeral in Wales as things stand.

In England there will be a host of big screens showing the Queen’s funeral where huge crowds are expected, including in Leeds, Ipswich, Norwich, Nottingham, Lincoln, Bedford, Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Durham and many more. In Scotland, Edinburgh will screen the funeral at Holyrood Park, while in Northern Ireland people will gather to watch the service in Coleraine and Lisburn. But no local authorities in Wales are planning any screenings, nor is there to be a service of commemoration.

All the events are listed on the UK Government’s website here, and also include specific plans for the 8pm minute's silence on Sunday evening in Blackpool, Cheltenham, Luton, Southend, Swindon and Stoke on Trent.
