Sadly, Queen Elizabeth II's long life has come to an end, and the time has come to lay her to rest.
After serving the British people and her Commonwealth kingdoms for seven decades, the monarch died on September 8 at the age of 96.
King Charles III, her eldest son and heir, is now the head of state of the United Kingdom and its dependencies, and Prince William is the new Prince of Wales.
To pay their respects to the late monarch, countless numbers of mourners have travelled to England.
The procession that brought the queen's coffin from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, where it has been lying in state for public inspection, was led by Charles, William, and Prince Harry on September 14. Up until her funeral on September 19 at Westminster Abbey, her sarcophagus will remain there.
As the funeral for Her Majesty begins on Monday, 2,000 individuals from all around the world will assemble, including members of the royal family, dignitaries, and politicians.
All around the nation, shops and businesses will be shuttered so that people can attend the funeral and properly grieve.
Since Justin Welby is the most senior member of the Church of England, he will preside over the celebration.
Her casket will be laid to rest after the funeral service in a green gun carriage, followed by troops from the Royal Navy.
After that, the queen's coffin is transported to Windsor Castle, where a committal service will be held in St. George's Chapel. The queen will be laid to rest with her late husband, Prince Philip, at Windsor following the ceremony.
