The Queen's Funeral: When is it, what will happen and will it be shown on TV?

Details for the first state funeral to take place since that of Sir Winston Churchill's have been unveiled.

Following the peaceful death of HM Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday September 8, preparations have been underway for the late monarch to be laid to rest in London as the country has entered a period of national mourning. The Queen, who turned 96 in April, held the throne for 70 years, longer than any monarch in British history, and many of us have never known another on the throne.

The Queen's coffin has already started its journey from Balmoral Castle in Scotland to her final resting place, with it travelling down to the palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh on Sunday. It will rest into the Throne Room until the afternoon of Monday September 12.
