About 2,000 people, including heads of state from around the world, have been invited to pay their last respects to the late monarch during the service. As a state funeral, both services at Westminster Abbey and St George’s Chapel in Windsor will be televised. However, crowds are expected to travel to central London to watch the funeral procession as the late monarch makes her final journey. Here are details of the best viewing spots along the route – as well as some of the public displays showing the procession and service.

How and where can I watch the Queen’s funeral?
On Monday, the coffin is expected to be carried by gun from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey, where hundreds of world leaders and members of foreign royal families will attend. After the service, Her Majesty’s coffin will travel in procession to Wellington Arch, behind Buckingham Palace, where it will be placed in hearses to make the journey to Windsor by road. The hearse will arrive at Windsor Castle via The Long Walk and move to St George’s Chapel for the televised engagement attended by the royal family.
