The United Kingdom (UK) and rest of the world are mourning Queen Elizabeth II, who will be celebrated at a state funeral at Westminster Abbey Monday and later laid to rest beneath St George’s Chapel with her husband of 73 years, her sister Margaret and her parents.
The Queen’s coffin entered Westminster Abbey around 11 a.m. local time Monday. King Charles III, the royal family, and dignitaries from around the world arrived shortly before ahead of the funeral.
The Queen’s funeral live is expected to be the biggest gathering of world leaders in years, draw millions of people to the streets of London, and billions more to their TVs and computer screens.
