Hundreds of dignitaries are gathering in Westminster Abbey for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II at 11:00 BST.
The Queen’s coffin is being moved onto the State Gun Carriage, which waits outside the building’s North Door.
All of the Queen’s former prime ministers, as well as US President Biden and French President Macron, have arrived
It’ll be a short route to the abbey, crossing New Palace Yard and Parliament Square, then negotiating Broad Sanctuary and the Sanctuary.
The journey should take around eight minutes, with 142 Royal Navy sailors and six officers drawing the carriage.
There’ll be a guard of honour in the square and a Royal Marine band. Leading the procession are the Massed Pipes and Drums of the Scottish and Irish Regiments, the Brigade of Gurkhas, and the Royal Air Force – numbering some 200 musicians.
The procession will march at 75 paces to the minute, a speed reserved for funerals.
Hundreds of thousands of people are lining the streets of the capital to watch the funeral unfold.
After the service, a second procession will take the Queen’s coffin through London and on to Windsor Castle.
