Where is Westminster Hall and how to visit the Queen in bed?

Queen Elizabeth II died on September 8 after a historic reign of 70 years.

Britain’s longest reigning monarch died peacefully at Balmoral Castle in Scotland at the age of 96. It was one of my favorite mansions, surrounded by family.

“The death of my dear mother, Her Majesty the Queen, is a time of great sorrow,” said the new King Charles, whose title of Charles III was confirmed by Clarence House, in his first speech as king.

“I know his loss will be deeply felt by entire nations, kingdoms, federations and countless people around the world.”

Plans for the inevitable sad reality of her death have been around for so long that the Queen is known to be cremated within the state before the state goes into mourning. For that, here’s what you need to know:

About Westminster Hall

The Queen will be placed in a coffin on arrival in London from Balmoral, Scotland, and cremated at Westminster Hall.

Built in 1099, Westminster Hall is the oldest building owned by the Houses of Parliament.

Part of the Palace of Westminster, it is now the seat of the Houses of Parliament.

The full address is 3 St Margaret Street, London SW1P 3JX.

What does it mean to lie to the state?

The state of lies represents a formal occasion in which the coffin is placed in front of the public so that the public can pay their respects before the funeral.

In Great Britain, a monarch is assigned to a sovereign as head of state, a current or former queen, and in some cases a former prime minister.

The resting coffin rests on a raised platform in the center of Westminster Hall.

Each corner of the platform is guarded 24 hours a day by a unit of the Sovereign’s Guard, Infantry Guard or Household Cavalry Regiment.

Residents of Westminster Hall are:

• 1898 – William Ewart Gladstone
• 1910 – Edward VII
• 1936 – King George V
• 1952 – King George VI
• 1953 – Queen Mary
• 1965 – Winston Churchill
• 2002 – Mother of Queen Elizabeth

Around 200,000 people visited the Queen Mother while she lay in the estates, according to figures quoted on the official website of the British Parliament.

When can I visit Westminster Hall to pay my respects to the Queen?

Official plans show a ceremonial route through London as the Queen’s coffin is moved from Buckingham Palace to the Palace of Westminster.

Once in Westminster Hall, Her Majesty will remain there for three days.

Under Operation London Bridge, Westminster Hall will be open 23 hours a day for three days.
