Here are some potential events for the upcoming days, according to an ABC News report.
What time and where will the Queen’s funeral be held?
After the customary observation of a national period of mourning, the queen’s funeral will happen 10 days after her passing.
Elizabeth is anticipated to be the first sovereign to have a funeral at Westminster Abbey since 1760.
International dignitaries and leaders of state are anticipated to attend the queen’s funeral.
Westminster Abbey can house more than 8,000 people, as it did for the queen’s coronation, but it often only seats 2,200 worshippers.
Where will be her eternal resting place?
The queen will likely be buried privately in Windsor Castle’s St. George’s Chapel, where she spent a large part of her later years.
The queen will rest in eternity with her beloved late husband Prince Philip, her father King George VI, sister Princess Margaret, and other family members.
