London, United Kingdom: Funerals for senior royals since World War II have tended to be very public affairs, with pomp, pageantry and popular fervour.
Queen Elizabeth II's on Monday will be no exception.
At his funeral on February 15, his coffin was carried to Paddington station in west London on a gun carriage from Westminster Hall at the Palace of Westminster, where he lay in state, to St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.
A silent crowd lined the route along London's foggy streets during the three-hour procession. His eldest daughter, who at the age of 25 had become Queen Elizabeth II, followed in a horse-drawn coach.
