They do love their uniforms over there, don't they? Everybody's got a coupla medals for something or other, too.
Around a million people will line the streets of London tomorrow to witness extraordinary scenes of breathtaking pomp and splendor, punctuated by historic moments of sorrow and solemnity, as Her Majesty's coffin is transported from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey. King Charles III will be joined by monarchs, Presidents and Prime Ministers from nearly every nation - as well as 2,000 in the congregation including Armed Forces veterans, NHS staff and charity workers - for the first Royal State Funeral in Westminster Abbey in more than 200 years.
The Queen's coffin will then be transported by a spectacular procession from the abbey to Wellington Arch at Hyde Park Corner, before she is carried by State Hearse to Windsor. There, she will be lowered into the Royal Vault at St George's Chapel, where she will join her beloved husband the Duke of Edinburgh and parents King George VI and the Queen Mother, and where her sister Princess Margaret's ashes are interred.
