Her Majesty has left Buckingham Palace for the final time. She will soon arrive at Westminster Hall inside Westminster Palace which is the English seat of government. There she will lie in state until the morning of her funeral, allowing her adoring public the opportunity to view her coffin. The lines are already miles long, but the viewing is from 5pm GMT today until 6:30 am GMT on Sept 19. The viewing will not close over night, but stay open 24 hours a day so as to accommodate as many mourners as possible. The viewing will also be available online. If you would like to view online, please turn on notifications for this post and I will update with the link here.

Today marks the third time in history that The Vigil of the Princes had occurred and the second time it has been observed for a monarch. The first Vigil was carried out in 1936 by the 4 then surviving sons of King George V and again in 2002 for HM Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mum by her 4 grandsons Prince Charles (now King Charles III), HRH Prince Andrew, The Duke of York, HRH Prince Edward The Earl of Wessex and David Armstrong-Jones Vicount Linley (noe the Earl of Snowden). The 4 children of HM Queen Elizabeth stood vigil for 10 minutes over their mother’s coffin in Edinburg. If previous plans are carried out, we can still expect a vigil from her grandsons and another by her granddaughters.
