Early-morning rehearsals for the Queen’s funeral have been held.

Westminster Abbey was brightly lit as soldiers, led by pipers, marched in the foreground.

Her Majesty’s funeral is at 11am on Monday.

The lying in state at Westminster Hall will conclude at 6.30am, with the doors closed in preparation for the funeral.

Shortly after 10.35am, the coffin will be lifted and carried in procession to the state gun carriage of the Royal Navy positioned outside the north door. 

The gun carriage will then set off at 10.44am, with the route to the Abbey lined by members of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines. A tri-service guard of honour will take place on Parliament Square, accompanied by the band of the Royal Marines.

Following the Queen’s coffin will be the King, members of the Royal Family and members of his household.

The procession will arrive at 10.52am and the coffin will be carried into the Abbey for the service.
