According to the palace, a funeral mass will be held in St. George’s Chapel in Windsor. The ceremony will be preceded by a nationwide minute of silence at 15:00 (16:00 CET). It will be a ceremonial, not a state funeral, and will therefore take place without public access. There will be an eight-day state mourning in Britain before the funeral.

In this context, members of the royal family, including the queen herself, are expected to wear protective equipment.
