On Monday, September 19, Queen Elizabeth II will be laid to rest. The monarch died peacefully at Balmoral, her Scottish Highlands home, on September 8.

Buckingham Palace announced the news that day, at around 6.30pm. Her coffin has since travelled from Balmoral to London, via Edinburgh where she spent time at St Giles' Cathedral, before lying in state at Westminster Hall for fours days for her state funeral, the first to be held since that of Winston Churchill in 1965.

Coverage of the funeral is set to dominate the TV schedule with ITV and the BBC outlining their plans for the day. Huw Edwards, Kirsty Young and David Dimbleby are among the presenters who will anchor the BBC's TV coverage of the Queen’s funeral.

Their special programming covering the historic day on September 19 will air from 8am until 5pm on BBC One and iPlayer, with BSL signed coverage on BBC Two.
