The Queen's funeral date and plans as mourning period begins following her death

dailyrecord.co.uk:

The death of the Queen yesterday has triggered a plan that will lead up to her funeral in London. The monarch passed away yesterday afternoon at Balmoral, and her eldest son Prince Charles is now King - with his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, now the Queen's Consort.

It's expected that her funeral will take place a week on Monday - September 19 - at Westminster Abbey in central London, where many other Royal funerals have taken place.The official date is yet to be confirmed, with the full details expected later today when King Charles meets with Earl Marshal, the Duke of Norfolk, to approve the service.

The plans are for the Queen’s coffin to be taken on a gun carriage to the abbey, pulled by naval ratings – sailors – using ropes instead of horses, the Mirror reports.

Senior members of the Royal Family are expected to follow behind, as they did with Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997 and the Duke of Edinburgh just last year.The military will line the streets and also join the procession.
