According to a statement from Buckingham Palace on Friday, a royal gun salute will be fired in Hyde Park in London at 1300 BST (1200 GMT) with one round fired for each year the 96-year-old queen has lived.
Although the funeral was not announced by the palace, it is anticipated to take place about 11 days following her passing on Thursday.
