Queen Elizabeth II, Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, will be laid to rest on Monday in one of the biggest state funerals the world has seen.
Her Majesty, 96, died at her Balmoral estate in Scotland on Thursday 8 September after 70 years on the throne, setting in motion 11 days of mourning as the nation came together to remember an extraordinary public servant whose tenure stretched from the demise of the British Empire to the coronavirus pandemic.
