The order of service for the Queen's state funeral has been released by the Palace. The detailed program reveals a fitting selection of Her Majesty's favourite hymns, songs, prayers and recitals, hand-picked by the monarch before her death.
Held at St George's Chapel, the ceremony will be attended by around 500 guests from nearly 200 countries and territories. The Monet by William Henry Harris will be played as a tribute to the esteemed organist and composer who served as the Queen's piano tutor.
Every week at Windsor, as he led practice, the then Princess Elizabeth and her sister Margaret would join senior members of the choir. The Queen’s Piper, Warrant Officer Class 1 (Pipe Major) Paul Burns, will perform the lament Sleep, Dearie, Sleep.
