The day of the Queens funeral has been declared a bank holiday, by soon-to-be king Charles III.
Queen Elizabeth II, the UK’s longest-reigning monarch, died peacefully aged 96 at Balmoral Castle on Thursday afternoon.
The Queen will be given a state funeral, the first in the UK for more than half a century.
Under leaked plans codenamed London Bridge, the Queen’s funeral is expected to take place ten days after her death.
