'D+10 Day': How will Elizabeth II's state funeral take place?
"London Bridge has fallen."
With these five words, the news of the death of Queen Elizabeth II was made known to the world last Thursday at the age of 96, which began a period of 10 days of national mourning that has left no room for improvisation.
From Balmoral Castle to
Buckingham Palace
, the late monarch's coffin has traveled the streets of the United Kingdom before resting for four days in the funeral chapel in Westminster.
Today Monday, D-Day + 10, she will make her last journey to Windsor following her
State Funeral
, where she will be buried alongside the remains of her husband, Philip of Edinburgh.
Elizabeth II's funeral will take place at 11am local time in
Westminster Abbey
, the historic church where all British kings and queens have been crowned since 1066. Many will remember her for the funeral of Diana of Wales, which was held there in September 1997, or the
Queen Mother
's in April 2002. However, the last burial of a monarch to be held at the abbey was that of
King George II
in 1760.
The church in which he was married in 1947 and in which his coronation took place in 1953, the abbey has been "witness to the promises that defined the life of
Queen Elizabeth II
".
In what was his "spiritual" house, "thanks be to God for the service he rendered to God, to the nation and to the Commonwealth", according to the dean of Westminster, David Hoyle, in a statement last Saturday.
