The Queen’s state funeral will be shown on big screens in Manchester city centre while a number of commemorative events and services are also being held across the region ahead of the solemn occasion. The royal farewell will include a service at Westminster Abbey and a cortege and military procession across London before a final family ceremony at a chapel in Windsor Castle.
Crowds are expected to gather along The Mall to watch the procession, while heads of state from across the world will be flying in to remember the life and service of Queen Elizabeth II. The service is expected to be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby and begins at 11am on Monday.
Below is how each borough in Greater Manchester will be paying its final respects to the country’s longest-reigning monarch.
