The Queen will spend Tuesday night in the Bow Room, where she once hosted dinners for foreign royals and dignitaries, including King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia and former US president George Bush.

On Wednesday, a procession will take place to move the coffin to Westminster Hall, where the Queen will lie in state for four days.

The late monarch will then make a journey through central London and crowds will be able to watch the cortege as it travels along Queen's Gardens, The Mall, Horse Guards and Horse Guards Arch, Whitehall, Parliament Street, Parliament Square and New Palace Yard.

Guns will be fired at Hyde Park and Big Ben will toll to mark the solemn event.
