The State funeral at Westminster Abbey on Monday is likely to be one of the biggest single events staged in Britain since World War Two.

Among those to confirm their attendance are US President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron .
Earl Marshall, The Duke of Norfolk, said organising The Event was " both humbling and daunting" but the solemnity of The Last few days of mourning and the constitutional process was the " envy of the world".
Events on Monday will begin with The Funeral procession, which will see The Queen 's coffin conveyed from Westminster Hall , where she is lying in state, to the nearby Abbey.
Prince Harry The Duke of Sussex and his brother William, the new Prince of Wales, will Once More walk side-by-side behind The Queen 's coffin during The Procession .
After the Abbey service concludes, The Queen 's coffin will be carried in a further procession to Wellington Arch - led by The Royal Canadian Mounted Police and members of NHS staff.
It will then be conveyed to Windsor by road, before a second service takes place at St George's Chapel, led by the Dean of Windsor.
A smaller congregation of about 800 guests will be there. A further private service for close Family Members will be held on Monday evening.
The Crown Jeweller will be in attendance to collect The Crown from The Queen 's coffin and convey it back to The Tower of London.
The Queen will then be laid to rest in The Royal vault beside her husband, the late Duke of Edinburgh .
