Millions of people in the UK and around the world are preparing to say a final goodbye to Queen Elizabeth II.

Hundreds of thousands of people are already lining the streets of the capital to watch the funeral unfold.

A service will take place at Westminster Abbey at 11:00 BST – hundreds of guests have taken their seats already.

It will be attended by foreign royals and world leaders and watched by hundreds of millions globally.

The Queen’s coffin will then be taken in a procession through London and on to Windsor Castle for a final service.

Ahead of the funeral, King Charles said he had been “deeply touched” by public support for him and his family. (BBC)
