Queen Elizabeth’s state funeral on Monday morning, September 19. The head of state died in Scotland on Thursday aged 96.

The coffin in which Elizabeth lies is now at Balmoral Castle in Scotland and will be moved to Edinburgh on Sunday. His body will then be transferred to London on Tuesday.

From Wednesday, Elizabeth will be in state at Westminster Hall in the British capital. The coffin will remain there until the funeral, which will take place at Westminster Abbey. Elizabeth was also crowned there. She also married Prince Philip there. September 19 will be a national holiday for the UK.

Elizabeth was on the throne for a total of seventy years, a Jubilee that was celebrated in a big way earlier this year. She became queen on February 6, 1952, after her father George died at the age of 57.
