Buckingham Palace has announced that Her Majesty The Queen's state funeral is set to take place on September 19 at Westminster Abbey.
However, the monarch will not be laid to rest in the central London landmark as she will be buried at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle alongside her late husband, Prince Phillip.
Prince Philip sadly passed away on April 9, 2021 at the age of 99 and he was privately interred at Windsor Castle following his death.
As Her Majesty The Queen sadly passed away on September 8, funeral plans are now well underway for the Queen's final farewell - including the detailed plan of her final resting place alongside her late husband.
But when will the Queen be buried at St George's Chapel alongside the Duke of Edinburgh and who else is buried at the chapel?
When will the Queen and Prince Phillip be buried at St George's Chapel?
When Prince Philip passed away in April 2021, it was confirmed that he would not be buried until the Queen's death.
The Duke of Edinburgh's body is set to be moved following the Queen's funeral from its initial resting place in the Royal Vault of St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
The Queen's funeral at Westminster Abbey is set to commence at 11am and there will be a national two minute silence at midday.
After the service, the Queen's coffin will travel in procession to Wellington Arch, behind Buckingham Palace, where it will be taken to Windsor Castle.
Once the coffin has reached Windsor, it will travel to St George's Chapel via the Long Walk, where a private committal ceremony will take place.
The committal service will commence at 4pm, with the private burial set to begin at 7.30pm.
Who else is buried at St George's Chapel?
The Queen's body will be placed alongside her husband's in the King George VI Memorial inside St George's Chapel.
The small chapel is home to the remains of the Queen’s father George VI, her mother the Queen Mother and sister Princess Margaret.
The central feature of the pale stone annexe, which was added on to the north side of St George’s behind the North Quire Aisle in 1969, is a black stone slab set into the floor.
The slab is inscribed with “George VI” and “Elizabeth” in gold lettering and accompanied by their years of birth and death.
There is also a Royal Vault inside St George's Chapel, which was where Prince Phillip was privately interred before the Queen's death.
Apart from the Duke of Edinburgh, there are currently 24 other royals buried at the Royal Vault.
These include Prince Edward, father of Queen Victoria, two of George III''s sons Prince Alfred and Prince Octavius, and mother of Queen Mary Princess Mary Adelaide, Duchess of Teck.
The last royal to be laid to rest there was Princess Alice, who was Prince Philip's mother, in 1969.
However, her body was moved to Jerusalem, as she wished to be buried with her aunt Grand Duchess Elizabeth Fyodorovna.
The Royal Vault at Windsor was created between 1804 and 1810 for George III, who died in 1820 and is one of three kings buried there.
