Queen's funeral plans: What we know so far

Preparations are being made for the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II when the nation will say a final farewell to Britain's longest ever reigning monarch.

Full details have not yet been revealed, but here is what we expect to happen on Monday 19 September and how you can follow events.

It will be a day of emotion, pomp and ceremony with a service at Westminster Abbey, 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 and large screens in the royal parks may be set up to show coverage of the service and other events.

Plans for the Queen's lying-in-state
The funeral will be broadcast on BBC television and available to stream on BBC iPlayer, with continuous updates on the news website and BBC radio throughout the day - which has been declared a Bank Holiday across the UK.
