The route will be lined by the Armed Forces from Westminster Abbey to the top of Constitution Hill at the Commonwealth Memorial Gates. The Queenโs coffin will be carried back to the gun carriage before the procession steps off from Westminster Abbey at 12.15pm. Who will be involved in the procession to the arch? The coffin will be then transported to Windsor by hearse and will arrive at around 3.10pm - before the committal service starts at 4pm.
The arch has a colourful history and has been an eye catching memorial in the capital for nearly two centuries.
The arch did have a model of the Duke of Wellington on top of it, but the arch was moved in the 1880s and until the 1890s it had no sculpture on top of it. The arch has historical significance, and it is the last time the coffin of Queen Elizbeth II will be seen in London.
