What time is the Queen's funeral? Millions set to tune into live coverage of state event

There are now just days to go until the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, with audiences set to tune in in their millions across the UK and the world to witness the state event.

Her Majesty died peacefully at the age of 96 at Balmoral, her much loved Scottish residence on Thursday, September 8, with her passing announced to the nation hours later, just after 6.30pm.

Since then, the country has been united in grief and sadness at the long-serving monarch's death, with TV channels like BBC and ITV devoting most of their airtime to coverage of tributes and the events that have followed, including the ceremonial proclamation of The Queen's son, King Charles III, The Queen's coffin's journey from Balmoral to Holyrood and the very moving service held for Her Majesty at St Giles' Chapel in Edinburgh, where her four children kept a vigil by her side.
