The route that the Queen’s coffin will take from Wellington Arch to Windsor Castle on Monday has been revealed – with thousands of people expected to turn out.
The procession is expected to leave London and travel west along the south edge of Hyde Park before passing through Queens Gate and heading along Cromwell Road.
Continuing through the capital, it will pass Hammersmith and Chiswick along the north bank of the River Thames.

Taking the Great South West Road it will pass south of Heathrow Airport – under silent skies after a slew of flight cancellations – as it leaves London and goes past Staines.
The Queen’s coffin will enter the grounds of Windsor Castle through Shaw Farm Gate and head north before finally arriving at St George’s Chapel.
Interest in saying goodbye to the Queen has been huge, with tens of thousands queuing to see the late monarch lying in state at Westminster Hall.
It has been 70 years since the death of the previous monarch, Queen Elizabeth II’s father George VI, so the vast majority of people in the UK are unaccustomed to the traditions and pageantry that have been on display over the last few days.
Tens of millions of people around the world are expected to watch as the Queen’s funeral takes place on Monday.
