The King and other members of the royal family may be caught in light showers as they join the Queen’s funeral procession in Windsor where the former monarch will be laid to rest.
The crowds expected to gather in London and Windsor for the event are unlikely to experience heavy rain, but the Met Office said light showers may fall before the committal service begins at 4pm. Temperatures along the procession route will reach highs of 18C, which is around average for this time of year, forecasters said.
The morning of the funeral at Westminster Abbey is expected to stay dry, with a slight chance of showers after 1pm. Meteorologist Alex Burkill told the PA news agency: “There is a small chance of the odd shower through the afternoon, most likely around 3pm or 4pm.”
