Queen's funeral service to end with two-minute nationwide silence

A two-minute nationwide silence will be held shortly after the state funeral service for Queen Elizabeth II concludes on Monday.

The meticulously planned arrangements are set to be a fitting farewell to Britain's longest-reigning monarch, and will see King Charles III and members of the royal family walk behind the coffin once more as it is moved from the heart of the British parliamentary estate to Westminster Abbey for the hour-long service.

The Earl Marshal, the Duke of Norfolk says it is aimed to unite people across the globe and resonate with people of all faiths, while fulfilling the Queen and her family's wishes to pay a fitting tribute to an extraordinary reign.

Heads of state, European royals, and dignitaries from around the world will descend on the English capital to join the royal family in honoring the Queen's life and unwavering service to the nation and Commonwealth next week.
