INSANE: How the queen s funeral will break tradition plans known so far | Rare Historical Photos

The funeral of Queen Elizabeth II will break from centuries royal tradition when it takes place at Westminster Abbey.

The service, which is expected to be Monday, September 19, will not be at St George's Chapel in Windsor for the first time since the death of George II in 1760. In the Accession Council on Saturday, King Charles approved an order to mark the funeral a bank holiday in all four countries of the UK.

The move to the Abbey allows more people to attend the funeral and greater space for the public to gather. Around 2,000 guests will be invited to the televised state funeral of Her Majesty, including heads of state, dignitaries, presidents, European royals and other key figures.
