Hundreds of world leaders and royalty from Europe to Lesotho and Japan will attend the funeral at Westminster Abbey in central London on Monday. US President Joe Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron, Japanese Emperor Naruhito, and Chinese Vice President Wang Qishan were among those who paid their respects to Britain’s longest-serving monarch on the final day of the official lying-in-state at the 900-year-old Westminster Hall. Biden described her as “decent, honourable, and committed to service.” “You were lucky to have her for 70 years.” “We were all,” he said. Hundreds of thousands of people had waited for hours to pass by the oak coffin, which was draped in the royal standard and topped with the Imperial Crown, orb, and sceptre. The estimated wait time reached more than 25 hours early on Saturday before being closed to newcomers on Sunday. King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla were “deeply touched” by messages of condolence and support from Britain and around the world, according to King Charles. On Sunday, the country observed a minute’s silence in honour of Queen Elizabeth. “Everyone who took the trouble to come and pay their respects to my dear mother, The late Queen, were moved beyond measure,” he said in a statement. The queen’s coffin will be placed on a gun carriage and pulled by 142 Royal Navy sailors to the abbey shortly before 11 a.m.  capping off ten days of national mourning for Britain’s longest-reigning monarch. Around 200 pipers and drummers will lead the procession. The coffin will be followed by King Charles, his siblings and sons Princes William and Harry, as well as other members of the royal family. Monday has been designated as a public holiday, and hundreds of thousands of people are expected to line the procession route. The funeral will be broadcast to crowds in parks and public spaces across the UK, as well as 200 other countries. The Abbey’s tenor bell, which has been used for coronations, weddings, and burials of English and then British kings and queens for nearly 1,000 years, will ring 96 times to commemorate each year of her life. Here, where Queen Elizabeth was married and crowned, we gather from across the country, the Commonwealth, and the world to mourn our loss, to remember her long life of selfless service,” the Dean of Westminster, David Hoyle, will say. The congregation at the first-ever televised funeral will also include those who have received Britain’s highest military and civilian medals for gallantry, representatives from charities supported by the queen, and those who have made “extraordinary contributions” to combating the COVID-19 pandemic. Following that, the coffin will be carried through central London, past Buckingham Palace and on to the Wellington Arch at Hyde Park Corner, with the monarch and the royal family following on foot. From there, it will be loaded onto a hearse and driven west to Windsor Castle, where the queen will be buried in the royal vault while the Sovereign’s Piper plays a lament, gradually walking away until the music in the chapel fades.
