How to visit the Queen lying-in-state
If you're keen to pay your respects in person, you are able to physically visit the Queen lying-in-state. Once her coffin has been transported from Balmoral, Scotland to London, it'll be taken to Westminster Hall.
Here, the Queen's coffin will be placed in the centre of the hall on a raised platform where the public can visit and pay their respects before the funeral takes place. The coffin is guarded around the clock by units from the Sovereign’s Bodyguard, Foot Guards or the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment.
When will the Queen be lying-in-state?
It's estimated that the coffin will reach the Palace of Westminster on Tuesday September 13, 2022 once it has travelled from Scotland to Buckingham Palace. Once her coffin has arrived, Westminster Hall will be open for 23 hours a day for a three-day period.
