At around 4:30 p.m. ET on Thursday, Sept. 8, UK Prime Minister Liz Truss announced the death of Queen Elizabeth II by way of a Downing Street spokesperson.

As one of the longest reigning monarchs in the history of history, the British Royal Family matriarch was no stranger to the spotlight. With that said, Queen Elizabeth certainly saw her fair share of controversy during her time on the throne.

Even in death, spectators are dying to know what’s next for the Queen. So, what are the plans for the Queen’s funeral? Read on for details on how to watch the proceedings.

Queen Elizabeth II (born Elizabeth Alexandra Mary) was surrounded by family when she took her final breaths at Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Hours later, details about her funeral service were disclosed to the public.

In the days following her death, the Queen's body will return to London. By way of a ceremonial processional, her body will be carried through the streets of London from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey, where the Queen will lie in state for a period.

Queen Elizabeth’s return to the Abbey is a full-circle moment for the British Royal Family, as the late monarch’s coronation was held at the historic grand hall decades ago.

Later, an intimate funeral service will be held at St. George’s Chapel, where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle said their vows.

As of this writing, Queen Elizabeth's funeral is expected to take place on Monday, September 18. The intricate 10-day plan has been dubbed Operation London Bridge by the British government. Ultimately, the Queen will be buried beside her husband, Prince Philip, in Windsor, U.K.
