On the day of the funeral, the doors to Westminster Abbey will open at 8 a.m. local time to allow around 2,000 guests, including roughly 500 international leaders, to take their seats.
According to the plans for the day, all heads of state and abroad government representatives, including foreign royal families, would convene at a central location and proceed to the Abbey via “collective arrangements.”
The King George VI Memorial Chapel, part of St. George’s Chapel, is where Queen Elizabeth’s parents, King George VI, who died in 1952, and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, who died in 2002, are buried, as is her sister, Princess Margaret, who also died in 2002.
