The Queen's state funeral is to take place on Monday September 19, in a grand procession that will honour the nation's longest serving monarch.

Since the news of her passing on Thursday September 8, detailed plans have been put into action leading up to the ceremony.

Her Majesty's coffin is currently laying at St Giles's Cathedral in Edinburgh and will be transported to London on Tuesday evening. Following her return to the capital city, the Queen will lie in state at Westminster hall until the morning of her funeral.
