However, heads of state and their partners from each country have reportedly been banned from travelling via helicopters or their own state cars.

As well as foreign leaders, Queen Elizabeth's funeral will also see royals gather in their masses to mourn the monarch, who was a doting mother and grandmother to many. King Charles and the Queen Consort, Princess Anne and Sir Timothy Laurence, Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson and Prince Edward and the Countess of Wessex are all expected to be among the attendees, as well as the monarch's grandchildren, including the Prince and Princess of Wales, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, and more.
Following the funeral, the Queen's coffin will travel in procession from Westminster Abbey to Wellington Arch and on to Windsor. Once there, the state hearse will travel in procession to St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, where a committal service will take place.
