Thousands of police, hundreds of troops and an army of officials are making final preparations for the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.

It will then be taken in a hearse to Windsor, where the queen will be interred alongside her late husband, Prince Philip, who died last year.

It’s history with echoes of Arthurian romance.
