On Sept. 8, Queen Elizabeth II<\/a> died at the age of 96 after 70 years on the British throne. As the longest-reigning monarch in Britain\u2019s history, many are left wondering what happens next?<\/p>\n

Before her funeral, the Queen\u2019s lying-in-state has seen thousands of people from all around England join an approximate five-mile queue to set their sights on the monarch\u2019s closed casket, topped with a crown as a way of paying respect to the late Sovereign.<\/p>\n

Public viewing is available 24 hours a day until Monday, September 19, when she will be laid to rest at her state funeral. The line snakes from Westminster Hall to Southwark Park, and as of Friday morning, the government closed the line and dissuaded any new admittance to the queue until its re-openings, per the BBC<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The UK government estimates that almost half a million people will queue up \u2014 some for a possible 30 hour wait \u2014 over five days for an opportunity to pay their respects to the queen.

Now that the line is back up and running, NBC News<\/em><\/a> reported that there’s now an estimated wait time of about 24 hours.<\/p>\n

David Beckham caused a bit of fanfare when he joined the line with the rest of the British public for about 12 hours. \u201cWe all want to be here together. We all want to experience something where we celebrate the amazing life of our Queen,\u201d Beckham told reporters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With politicians, world leaders, celebrities, and more attending the funeral, King Charles III will host official overseas guests and heads of state at Buckingham Palace on Sunday before the service.<\/p>\n

The Queen\u2019s funeral services will be held at Westminster Abbey (which hosted the Queen\u2019s 1947 wedding to Prince Philip and her 1953 coronation) on Monday, September 19.<\/p>\n

Her casket will be processed on a gun carriage to the Abbey, where the Archbishop of Canterbury will provide a sermon, according to CBS<\/em><\/a>. King Charles III will reportedly walk behind the coffin along the short trip to Westminster Abbey, with other members of the royal family. At the service\u2019s end, a two-minute moment of silence will be held across the U.K.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s coffin will reportedly<\/a> be taken to Hyde Park with a walking procession, and then travel by hearse to St. George\u2019s Chapel at Windsor Castle.<\/p>\n

King Charles III<\/a>\u00a0announced the official period of royal mourning will last until seven days after the Queen\u2019s state funeral.<\/p>\n

Following the Queen\u2019s death, Prince Charles immediately assumed the role as king. He issued a statement<\/a> shortly after the Queen\u2019s Sept. 8 passing. \u201cThe death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family,\u201d read the memo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world. During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which The Queen was so widely held.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Charles III immediately succeeded his late-mother and Queen, details regarding his coronation remain under lock and key. The ceremony has reportedly<\/a> been kept under the codename “Operation Golden Orb,” and is suspected to take place sometime in 2023.<\/p>\n

As we know, with the Queen\u2019s death, Charles III is not the only royal family member to receive a change in title. Duchess of Cornwall Camilla Parker Bowles, Charles\u2019 wife since 2005, will now be known as Queen Consort. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton<\/a>, will now be dubbed the Prince and Princess of Wales (Catherine will inherit Lady Diana\u2019s former title). The children of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle<\/a>, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Archie, 3, and Lilibet,1, have become a prince and a princess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31863,"featured_media":64435,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[38,16],"yoast_head":"\nWhen Is Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s Funeral?
