Order of service announced for Queen's funeral including hymns and prayers

The running order for the Queen's funeral on Monday, September 19, has been revealed by Buckingham Palace, detailing all the hymns, songs, prayers and recitals that will be heard, as chosen by the late Monarch.

With around two million people poised to take to the streets of London, the whole nation will fall silent to mourn the loss of the 96-year-old, with shops and businesses across the UK closing as a sign of respect.

With proceedings kicking off as early as 6:30am, The Monet by William Henry Harris will be played as a tribute to the renowned organist who taught Her Majesty to play the piano, reports the Mirror.
