The Queen's funeral music: The classical music with a touching tribute to Prince Philip

Millions of people are tuning in around the world today as the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II takes place. The funeral of the UK's longest-serving monarch, who died aged 96 on September 8, will see well-wishers, world leaders and close family and friends pay their respects to the Queen at Westminster Abbey on Monday morning with the funeral starting at 11am.

The service is being broadcast live across most mainstream channels with thousands also expected to gather around the UK to watch the historic event on large screens.

The order of service, published by Buckingham Palace ahead of the funeral, includes some the Queen's favourite hymns, prayers and recitals, chosen by the monarch herself. Before the service, the tenor bell tolled every minute for 96 minutes, reflecting the years of Queen Elizabeth II's life.
