Full details for the Queen's state funeral next week have been confirmed.
Buckingham Palace announced a team of nearly 100 Royal Navy sailors set to carry Her Majesty's coffin to Westminster Abbey before she is finally laid to rest with her beloved Prince Philip.
On Monday morning the King and senior royals including his sons the Prince of Wales and Duke of Sussex, as well as Princess Royal, Duke of York, will again march behind his mother as she is moved from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey.
Around 2,000 world leaders will attend the service after which a two minute silence will be held. The national anthem will then be played to signal the closing of the service.
The Queen will then be transferred to Windsor Castle where the late monarch will be laid to rest alongside her beloved husband, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, in King George VI's chapel, senior Palace aides have confirmed.
Her Majesty is now Lying-in-State, in Westminster Hall for four days. It has been opened to the public, to allow them to pay their respects.
Stephen Prince, head of the Naval Historical Branch, who has been advising the funeral planners, said: "We advise on what has been done before, not necessarily as a constraint completely but just so we know where we are starting from, so it's not an immobile process, but you want to have a good sense of where you come from.
"It would be really hard to come up with anybody having closer links with the Royal Navy because the Queen is the daughter of a naval officer and she's married to a naval officer and two of her sons then serve as naval officers.
"So quite apart from the inevitability of the monarchy there is such a strong family connection."
Below are more details on what to expect on Monday.
