A funeral fit for a Queen requires a strict dress code which mourners had to stick to, according to etiquette experts Debrett's.
Debrett's, a publisher of guides on what to wear for aristocratic occasions since the mid-1900s, says there is always a rigid dress code for state funerals.
Attendees at state funerals must wear black. Women can "wear black knee-length dresses, or coats, black hats, and may also wear face-covering veils" while men can choose between either military attire or “black morning coats with medals”.
