DOMINIC SANDBROOK: Of all the spectacular shows that have unfolded in our country's capital over the past 70 years, there has never been one like Queen Elizabeth II's funeral. It was also Britain's saddest day and our best, utterly stunning and yet poignant. And amid the pomp and glamour, it was difficult to forget that this was a farewell to an individual human being, a wife and mother with dreams and concerns that we may never know.

Such is the burden of monarchy. Even in death, there can be a great deal between the personal and the public for a queen.

Buckingham Palace has now released the order of service in full, as well as the official picture of the Queen's funeral, the list of hymns, readings, and music. 2,000 people attended the royal family and world leaders' funeral today, as the country mourns the Monarch's death. The Queen's coffin will be carried in a grand military parade from Westminster's Palace to Westminster Abbey at 11 a.m. for the funeral.

As the eyes of the world look toward central London, the two young siblings, who are second and third in line to the throne, will march in today's parade with the likes of King Charles and Prince Harry.

Every minute for 96 minutes, the tenor bell is tolled during the service, commemorating each year of Queen Elizabeth II's life. The coffin of Her Majesty's throne enters the Abbey, surmounted by the Imperial State Crown and the Orb and Sceptre, Earl of Wessex, Prince of Wales, Prince Charlotte, Prince George, Prince George, Prince Michael of Kent, Duke of Kent, Prince Michael of Kent, Duke of Kent, Prince Michael of Kent, Prince Michael of Kent, Prince Michael of Kent, Prince Michael of Kent, Prince Michael of Kent, Prince George and Prince George were among the bearer
