Britain’s first state funeral in the last 57 years will be held under strict protocol and military tradition, for which practice has been going on for several days. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) said Monday has been declared a public holiday in the UK and several public places have been marked in London as crowds gather for funerals. The department said that community groups, clubs, other organizations, besides common people in homes are being asked to observe a minute’s silence at 8 pm on Sunday to “show respect at the national level” to the late Queen.
“Massive screens will be installed across the country including London’s Hyde Park, Sheffield’s Cathedral Square, Birmingham’s Centenary Square, Carlisle’s Bites Park, Edinburgh’s Holyrood Park and Coleraine Town Hall in Northern Ireland,” the DCMS said. Sanskars are making their preparations to show the program. Westminster Hall will be closed to the general public at 6:30 a.m. before the Queen’s state funeral. President Draupadi Murmu arrived in London on a three-day visit on Saturday evening to attend the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.
About 500 world leaders, including members of the royal family from around the world, will attend the Queen’s funeral. The royal coffin will be taken in procession from the Palace of Westminster’s Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey, where funeral rites will begin at 11 a.m. and end about an hour later with two minutes of national silence.
This will be followed by a public procession beginning at 12.15 pm and the late Queen’s coffin will be taken from Westminster Abbey to Wellington Arch in London and from there her journey to Windsor will begin. The Queen will be buried next to her late husband Prince Philip at the King George VI Memorial Chapel in a private royal ceremony on Monday evening.
