People in Bristol planning to watch the Queen's state funeral on Monday (September 19) should be able to do so in fairly dry conditions. The current weather forecast from the Met Office says the city will have sunny conditions in the morning before clouding over later on.
A Bank Holiday has been declared in the UK to mark the sombre occasion as the nation pays tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II, who died a week ago (September 8) in Balmoral. Many businesses will be shut alongside schools to allow people to pay their respects to Her Majesty.
The weather forecast around the UK on the day is for fine and dry weather with sunny spells. Some parts of the country will see cloud cover and occasional showers or spots of rain.

In its outlook for Saturday to Monday across South West England, the Met Office said: "Largely fine with some sunshine at times. Cloudier periods as well with perhaps the odd light shower. Cool for the time of year with some chilly nights, especially at first."
