Hymns sung during the service will include The Lord’s My Shepherd, The Day Thou Gavest, Lord, Is Ended and Love Divine, All Loves Excelling.

The Lord’s My Shepherd, featuring lyrics from Psalm 23, featured during the Queen’s wedding to the Duke of Edinburgh in 1947 and was said to have been a favourite of hers.

The sub-organist will also play the Johann Sebastian Bach piece Fantasia in C Minor as the procession of the coffin begins.

As the coffin enters, everybody in the abbey will stand and the Choir of Westminster Abbey will sing, a constant theme throughout the service.

The Monet by William Henry Harris will be played as a tribute to the renowned organist and composer who taught the Queen to play the piano. Once a week at Windsor, as he led practice, Princess Elizabeth and sister Margaret would sing alongside senior members of the choir.

The Queen’s Piper, Warrant Officer Class 1 (Pipe Major) Paul Burns, will play the lament Sleep, Dearie, Sleep. It will follow the Last Post, the Reveille, and the national anthem.
