PA Wire

The details of Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral have been confirmed including personal touches requested by the late monarch and a 100-strong team of Royal Navy sailors set to haul Her Majesty’s coffin to Westminster Abbey on a gun carriage.

Under a plan meticulously drawn up over many years with the input of the late monarch and confirmed by Buckingham Palace, the coffin bearing the Queen will be taken on the morning of Monday, 19 September from Westminster Hall, where she has been lying in state since Wednesday and where King Charles and his siblings will mount vigil on Friday evening.
