It will be a royal ceremonial funeral as expected and will be televised.
– What has been cut out due to the pandemic?
There will be no public element to the funeral. It will take place entirely in the grounds of the castle.
Original long-held plans for military processions through London or Windsor have been scrapped, and the royal family is asking the public not to gather at the castle or other royal residences.
