Queen’s funeral date set, as William, Catherine, Harry, Meghan meet crowds

Princes William and Harry, and their wives Kate and Meghan, have met crowds in Windsor. They collected floral tributes and spoke to some of those who had gathered to pay their respects.

The Queen’s funeral will be held in Westminster Abbey on Monday 19 September. She will lie in state for four days beforehand and mourners will be able to pay their respects.

Tomorrow, the Queen’s coffin will be taken from Balmoral to Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh – Princess Anne will travel with it.

The Queen’s coffin is in Balmoral, but soon will embark on its journey to the nation’s capital ahead of her state funeral on Monday 19 September.

People will be given the chance to pay their respects to the Queen, as her body will be placed in the Palace of Holyroodhouse and Westminster Hall for people to see her coffin – a tradition known as lying in state.

Earlier today, Charles III was proclaimed king at an elaborate ceremony in London.

King Charles III will also embark on a tour of all four nations that make up the UK.
