The unfortunate time has come to lay Queen Elizabeth II to rest after her long life has come to an end.
The royal was 96 when she passed away on Sept. 8 after seven decades of service to the British people and her Commonwealth realms.
Her oldest son and heir, King Charles III, is now the ruling monarch of the United Kingdom and its territories — with his son Prince William becoming the new Prince of Wales.
Thousands upon thousands of mourners have flocked to England to pay their respects to the late monarch.
On Sept. 14, Charles, William and his brother Prince Harry led the procession of bringing the queen’s coffin from Buckingham Palace and into Westminster Hall, where it has been lying in state for public viewing. Her sarcophagus will remain there until her funeral at Westminster Abbey on Sept. 19.
On Monday, 2,000 people from around the globe will gather — including members of the royal family, politicians, dignitaries and such — as the funeral of Her Majesty will commence.
Stores and businesses across the country will be closed in order for people to properly mourn and watch the funeral.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, will lead the observance, as he is the most senior member of the Church of England.
Once the service concludes, pallbearers will set down her coffin in a green gun carriage to be trailed by the Royal Navy servicemen.
The queen’s casket is then brought to Windsor Castle, where there will be a committal service in St. George’s Chapel. After the funeral, the queen will be buried at Windsor, alongside her late husband, Prince Philip.
