It will be the first funeral for a British monarch to take place at the Abbey since that of King George II in 1760.
The coffin will be carried from Westminster Hall in procession to the abbey. Two minutes of silence will be observed across the country.
After the one-hour service, a large ceremonial procession will accompany the coffin to Hyde Park, where it will be transferred from the carriage to the hearse and travel to Windsor.
After a procession through Windsor, a service will be held at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, during which Queen Elizabeth’s body will now be laid to rest in King George VI’s mausoleum.
