Buckingham Palace has revealed that Queen Elizabeth II will be buried next to Prince Philip in the King George VI Memorial Chapel at Windsor during a private service attended by her family at 7.30pm on Monday evening. It will be preceded by her official state funeral at Westminster Abbey, which will be attended by over 2,000 official guests. After the state funeral, her coffin will be taken by gun carriage to Wellington Arch, where it will be transferred to the state hearse. It will then travel to Windsor for a committal service at St George’s Chapel, which will be attended by 800 people. The private internment service will be held later that evening.
