There will be a full state funeral for Britain’s longest-serving monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, at Westminster Abbey today, 19 September at 11. am. The funeral proper will start at 3.30 pm, Greenwich Meridian Time today. Prince William and his wife Catherine’s nine-year-old son Prince George and seven-year-old daughter, Princess Charlotte will, according to indianexpress.com, attend Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral. It is also the largest global protection operation dealt with by the force, with world leaders, dignitaries and other VIPs attending the state funeral. Former counter-terrorism police chief Nick Aldworth said it is ‘probably the biggest operation that we’re likely to mount in the UK’.
