Flags were lowered across the country and a national memorial service is planned for the capital Ottawa on the same day as his funeral in London. But when it comes to greatness, Canadians are increasingly ambivalent toward the monarchy.

As we know, the United Kingdom will organize a state funeral and pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II.

According to the plan, once her coffin returns to London, the Queen will then rest in state at Westminster Hall for around four days before her funeral. This allows all members of the public to see it.

The Queen’s coffin will rest on a raised platform, known as the catafalque, under the medieval wooden roof of the 11th-century hall. Each corner of the platform would be guarded by soldiers from units serving the royal household.

It will be carried to Westminster Hall from Buckingham Palace in a slow procession, accompanied by a parade of military and royals.

People will also be able to watch the processions as they make their way through the streets and a big-screen event is likely to take place in London’s Royal Parks.

His coffin will be wrapped in the Royal Standard and in Westminster Hall will be covered with the Imperial Crown, Orb and Sceptre.

Once the casket is placed in the room, a brief service will take place. After that, people are allowed to enter.

The Queen’s state funeral is due to take place at Westminster Abbey in less than two weeks. The exact date will be confirmed by Buckingham Palace.
