What is a state funeral, when was last one in the UK and who was it for?

Queen Elizabeth II died on September 8 at the age of 96. Buckingham Palace confirmed she passed away peacefully in her sleep at her beloved home in Balmoral Castle.

King Charles III and Prime Minister Liz Truss will both be speaking at the state funeral service later today, following their shared tour of the UK for the national period of mourning.

This will likely be one of the biggest state funerals in UK history, an event typically preserved for Royal Family members.
