The Queen’s funeral will be “living tradition in action”, according to the Dean of Westminster.
But the Very Rev Dr David Hoyle, who will officiate at the funeral, has declined to comment on the exact contents of the service. But However, he had said it would be an opportunity to mourn and give thanks for the monarch’s “extraordinary life”.
The funeral is due to be held at Westminster Abbey on a special bank holiday on September 19, and is expected to be attended by leaders and dignitaries from around the world. The abbey has been the setting for all but two coronations of monarchs since 1066, and is also where the Queen’s marriage to the Duke of Edinburgh took place in 1947.
