Plans for the Queen’s Funeral

As the Queen prepares to lay her body to rest, plans are in motion for her final resting place. Westminster Abbey and King George VI’s Memorial Chapel are among the potential locations, while the Foreign Office is responsible for arranging the arrival of foreign dignitaries. The funeral will be a solemn occasion.

Westminster Abbey

Plans are under way for the Queen’s funeral and lying-in-state at Westminster Abbey. Her coffin will lie on a catafalque and be guarded round the clock during the period of time when she is lying in state. The coffin is expected to be taken up to Westminster Abbey by ropes, and members of the Royal Family are expected to follow it.

The coffin will be placed in the King George VI memorial chapel, which is an annex of the main chapel. It is expected to be able to receive both the coffin of the late Queen and Prince Philip. The coffin will be moved from the Royal Vault to the memorial chapel.

Final resting place of 96-year-old monarch

The final resting place of 96-year old Queen Elizabeth II is the subject of much speculation. Several fans have expressed their desire to know the location of the regal remains. Queen Elizabeth II was buried in a chapel dedicated to King George VI, which is also the final resting place of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother and Princess Margaret.

Her death has left a big hole in the nation. Though the 96-year-old monarch was ill, she was devoted to her royal duties until the very end, eventually delegating more responsibilities to her children. The British people had little reason to entertain thoughts of the monarch’s impending demise until the Queen spent an overnight in hospital for tests and was ordered to rest for two weeks.

Foreign Office tasked with arranging arrivals of dignitaries from abroad

The Foreign Office has been tasked with arranging the arrival of dignitaries from overseas to attend the Queen’s funeral and lie in state. It has a remarkably complicated task, as it must ensure that all the required arrangements are made to ensure the dignitaries’ safety. While the Queen’s body is at Westminster Abbey, a coffin will be transported there at various stages throughout the week. Hundreds of broadcasters and journalists will be on hand to cover the ceremony, and a broadcast centre will be set up next to Buckingham Palace in Green Park.

Operation London Bridge

The British Prime Minister’s office is preparing the details of the Queen’s funeral, which has been code-named Operation London Bridge. Queen Elizabeth’s death was announced through a notification on September 8 to Prime Minister Liz Truss, her cabinet secretary and the Privy Council. The news was also circulated to the 15 countries outside the UK where the Queen was head of state, as well as to the other Commonwealth governments.

There has been a lengthy plan in place for the Queen’s death, code-named Operation London Bridge. The plan includes a detailed protocol for key logistical matters, such as the funeral procession. The protocol refers to the day of the death, known as “D-Day”, and the days leading up to the funeral, which are known as “D+1”, “D+2” and “D+3”. The Queen will lie in state and be buried in the chapel at Holyroodhouse, Edinburgh.
