Queen to be reunited with her beloved Duke of Edinburgh in the Royal Vault at Windsor after her funeral on Monday
Her Majesty will be laid to rest with her late husband at the King George VI memorial chapel during a private service and burial on Monday evening.
It is expected the overall numbers will surpass the 2,000 that were present for Princess Diana's funeral and the 3,500 that accepted invites for Winston Churchill's final farewell. Since Wednesday she has been lying in state in Westminster Hall as thousands of mourners have been queueing for hours to pay their respects.
The gun carriage will then set off at 10.44am, with the route to the Abbey lined by members of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines. After the service the coffin will be followed out by the King, the Queen Consort and members of the Royal Family who will all walk in procession behind the coffin to Wellington Arch. Big Ben will toll throughout this procession.
