Around 12.45pm the King and Queen Consort travel to Edinburgh. First they will inspect a Guard of Honour before attending the Ceremony of the Keys. As a crowd of thousands listened to the funeral, the proceedings from Westminster Abbey relayed by speakers above the street, some sang quietly along with the hymns. It is customary for mourners to leave floral tributes. This section outlines the details of key locations where you can lay flowers and other tributes. Today, over a million mourners are expected to gather in central London to bid a final farewell to the Queen, who celebrated 70 years on the throne this year.
But the announcement came late in the day - at around 6.30pm on Thursday, 8 September - meaning plans have been shifted a day to allow the complex arrangements to be put in place, meaning today will be considered D+0. For me, medals falling off, would be a bit of a nightmare considering that they're also very valuable and very personal to the individual, so that wouldn't be great," he said, adding that he used "very very strong thread" to stop this happening. Schools will want to use collective worship to enable children to remember the life of Her Majesty The Queen and pray forthe rest of the Royal family at this time. This collective worship offers a PowerPoint of photos with an accompanying script remembering different aspects of Her Majesty The Queen'slong life and the chance to pause and reflect on what a life well-lived means for each one of us today. A family of eight people from three generations said they were feeling "emotional" moments before they were due to watch the Queen's final journey through Windsor.Collective Worship and suggested follow-up resources to be used as we remember and give thanks for the life of Her Majesty the Queen Half-mast means the flag is flown a third of the way down the flagpole from the top, with at least the height of the flag between the top of the flag and the top of the flagpole. The Speaker, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, then paid tribute before Ms Truss and the leader of the opposition Sir Keir Starmer.
Around 2,000 people attended the Queen's funeral at Westminster Abbey, including members of royal families from across Europe, politicians from all sides of the political spectrum and world leaders, including US President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron.The cross of St George, patron saint of England since the 1270's, is a red cross on a white ground. After James I succeeded to the throne, it was combined with the cross of St Andrew in 1606. At the end of her life she suffered from dementia and couldn’t remember very much, but when the Queen came on TV she still recognised her, she meant that much to her.” It was like a vigil for these pyres of flowers, says Llywelyn Hall. “We were like ghosts walking through them.” This was combined with the previous Union Flag of St George and St Andrew, after the Act of Union of Ireland with England (and Wales) and Scotland on 1 January 1801, to create the Union Flag that has been flown ever since.

After watching on a big screen in Newcastle, Marilyn Shemmings said the service was "absolutely wonderful". Gun salutes were fired around the country for each of the 96 years of the Queen's life at 1pm today. The Welsh dragon does not appear on the Union Flag. This is because when the first Union Flag was created in 1606, the Principality of Wales by that time was already united with England and was no longer a separate principality.

The Queen's personal flag consists of the initial 'E' ensigned with the Royal crown, surrounded by a chaplet of roses. On news of a Royal death, the Union Flag (or the Royal Arms of Scotland (Lion Rampant) where appropriate) is flown at half-mast. Last night the King issued a message of thanks to the nation, "as we all prepare to say our last farewell" to the late Queen.
