The Queen’s funeral at Westminster Abbey will be attended by world leaders, including President of the United States, and representatives from across the Commonwealth of Nations.
The ceremony will take place at Westminster Abbey, were Elizabeth II married Prince Philip and had her coronation, beginning at 11 a.m. London time, and will culminate in two minutes of silence for the Queen across the U.K. and the playing of “God Save the King”—a change after 70 years of “God Save the Queen.”
This will be the first funeral for a British monarch to take place at the Abbey since the 18th century, and the first-time cameras will be allowed inside any funeral ceremony for a British monarch, for a global coverage.
