Queen Elizabeth 11 enters the Abbey for first funeral service
The coffin of Queen Elizabeth II arrived at Westminster Abbey at exactly 11:00 am for the first funeral service.
The coffin was followed to the Abbey by King Charles III, his sister Princess Anne, and his brothers, Princes Andrew and Edward.
Princes William and Harry, and Peter Phillips, who’s the son of Princess Anne and one of the Queen’s other grandsons also followed the coffin.
Following behind them are other senior male royals: the Queen’s cousin the Duke of Gloucester, her nephew the Earl of Snowdon, and Anne’s husband Sir Tim Laurence.
Hundreds of thousands of people are lining the streets of the capital to watch the funeral unfold.
Hundreds of dignitaries are also at Westminster Abbey. Some of the dignitaries included all of the Queen’s former prime ministers, as well as US President Biden and French President Macron.
After the service, a second procession will take the Queen’s coffin through London and on to Windsor Castle.
Ahead of the funeral, King Charles said he had been “deeply touched” by public support for him and his family.
