The final goodbyes. The British are expected in their hundreds of thousands from Wednesday, September 14 in London, to greet Elizabeth II, their adored monarch one last time before her funeral next Monday. Follow our live.
A procession to Westminster. The Queen’s coffin was found in the British capital on Tuesday evening. After a last night at Buckingham Palace, where she was welcomed by her children and grandchildren, the oak coffin will join Westminster Hall, the oldest house of the British Parliament, on Wednesday after a solemn procession in the center from London.
Hundreds of thousands of people expected. Westminster Hall will remain open for the occasion 24 hours a day. But it will take patience, with long queues that should stretch for miles. This morning shortly after 8 a.m., hundreds of people were already waiting on the bank opposite the Parliament, in a good-natured atmosphere despite the threatening gray sky. Some even spent the night there.
Charles in Cardiff on Friday. After London, Edinburgh and Belfast, Charles III will travel to Cardiff in Wales on Friday, the last leg of his tour of the four British nations.
