Queen Elizabeth II's funeral is scheduled to take place 10 days after her death. Major sporting events, including football and cricket matches, can now be postponed to pay tribute to the Queen.

Flags will be flown at half-staff at Buckingham Palace, Parliament House and buildings across the UK, while mourning books will be placed at town halls for people to pay tribute to the Queen.

In the coming days, Queen Elizabeth II's body will be moved from Balmoral to St Giles Church in Edinburgh, before returning to Buckingham Palace.

Five days after Queen Elizabeth II's death, the queen's coffin is expected to make the long journey from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall and be laid to rest here before the official funeral takes place.

Queen Elizabeth II's coffin will be placed at Westminster Hall until the day of the funeral for the public to visit and pay their respects. It is expected that this place will be open 23 hours/day.

Queen Elizabeth II's funeral was held at the state level at Westminster Abbey. Members of government, former prime ministers and heads of state from across the Commonwealth and the world will attend the funeral.

Westminster Abbey has a capacity of 2,200 people, but additional seating can be arranged to accommodate more than 8,000 people.

After the funeral, Queen Elizabeth II's coffin is expected to be carried through central London, before arriving at Windsor Castle.

Buckingham Palace announced that Queen Elizabeth II passed away on September 8 (local time), at the age of 96.

The Queen of England has been suffering from health problems since October 2021, forcing her to spend a night in the hospital. Since then, she has difficulty walking, so she does not often attend events as before.

Queen Elizabeth II became the head of the United Kingdom on February 6, 1952, after her father King George VI died on the same day. The coronation ceremony was held on June 2, 1953, more than a year after the death of King George VI.

Reigning for 70 consecutive years, Queen Elizabeth II is the longest-serving person in UK history.
