LONDON, Sept 19 (Reuters) - The state funeral for Queen Elizabeth will be held at London's Westminster Abbey on Monday when world leaders will join King Charles and the British royal family to bid farewell to Britain's longest-reigning monarch.
Following are some of the details of the order of service for the funeral:- The state funeral will take place in Westminster Abbey, central London, at 11 a.m. (1000 GMT).
- At the start of the service, as the queen's coffin is carried into the abbey, the Sentences will be sung by the choir of Westminster Abbey.
The five Sentences - lines of scripture set to music - have been used at every state funeral since the early 18th century.
- Afterwards, the bells of Westminster Abbey will be rung, fully muffled, which is the tradition following the funeral of the sovereign.
