Members of the Queen’s immediate family held a vigil at her side in Westminster Hall as she lay in state for a third day.
Memebers of the public continued to flock in thousands to pay their respects, though having been closed for a period on Friday due to the huge number the queuing time is now said to be down to 14 hours.
People can visit up until 6.30am on Monday 19 September, the day of her funeral.
Heads of countries all over the world meanwhile have started to arrive for Monday’s ceremony.
Commonwealth leaders from Australia, the Bahamas, Canada, Jamaica and New Zealand reportedly have all held audiences with King Charles III in Buckingham Palace.
A one-minute silence will be held across the UK at 8pm on Sunday.
Monday 19
The Queen’s state funeral will take place at Westminster Abbey.
Plans involve the Queen’s coffin to be carried along by carriage pulled by sailors rather than horses, with senior members of the Royal Family following behind.
The military will line the streets and join the procession, as well as heads of governments, prime ministers and presidents, European royals and key public figures.
The service will be televised and a national two minutes silence is expected to be held.
The Queen’s coffin will be taken to St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, and her final resting place will be the King George VI memorial chapel, an annexe to the main chapel.
Here, her mother and father are buried, as well as the ashes of her sister, Princess Margaret.
Her late husband’s coffin, the Duke of Edinburgh, will be moved from the Royal Vault to the memorial chapel to join the Queen's.
