Queen Elizabeth’s Funeral: Where to Watch and Other Important Details

The passing of Queen Elizabeth II triggered what has long been known as Operation London Bridge, ten days of mourning covering the late monarch's laying in state, state funeral arrangements, a bank holiday, and the ascension of her son Charles to the throne. Due to where she passed, in Balmoral, Scotland, it is being launched in combination with Operation Unicorn to honor her passing in the place she considered the closest thing to a private home. However, though the outline of events is technically public knowledge, not everything is laid out to make it easy to follow, and several adjustments are being made on the fly due to the situation on the ground.

The big one is the ten-day timeline. The Queen passed on Sept. 8, 2022, making her funeral Sept. 18, 2022, a Sunday. But because the Royal Family did not announce her passing until after the close of business hours local time, there has been a move to push it to Monday to allow a bit of breathing room. Currently, all schedules published reflect that change, with Sky News and The Telegraph reporting that the funeral is almost sure to be Monday the 19th. If this changes, we will let everyone know.

Here is the Day-by-Day schedule currently being reported in the U.K.
