The procession of the Queen's coffin will begin from Buckingham Palace at 2:22pm today (September 14).
The procession will travel along The Mall, Horse Guards Road, across Horse Guards Parade and onto Whitehall to Parliament Square and into the Palace of Westminster. The Queen will Lie-in-State at the Palace of Westminster until Monday, September 19, and members of the public may visit to pay their respects.
The map includes the locations of the ceremonial viewing platforms that members of the public can attend to watch the procession. The platforms will open at 11am with people admitted in order of arrival time.
Famous landmarks along the route include the National Theatre, the Tate Modern, and the London Eye. The route will be manned by more than 1,000 volunteers, as well as stewards and police officers to direct people and keep the peace.
Extra toilets and water fountains have also been set up along the route as people expect to wait hours in queues, and St Johns Ambulances will have stations along the route to provide first aid to anyone who needs it. There will be dedicated positions for people with accessibility requirements at the Green Park side of The Mall, and the St James’s Park side of The Mall.
There is also a dedicated area for people with accessibility requirements at the Parade Ground in Hyde Park for the Hyde Park screening of the procession. All the viewing areas are on one level, and people using these areas can be accompanied by one carer. Accessible viewing spaces are limited, and people will be admitted in order of arrival time.
Once the viewing areas are full, members of the public will be directed to Hyde Park, where the procession will be broadcast on huge screens.
