The state funeral of Queen Elizabeth will be broadcast live in Bond Square, Bracknell Forest Council has announced. 

Coverage of the service and the subsequent procession to Windsor will be shown from 10:15am on Monday September 19. 

The borough mayor, Cllr Ankur Shiv Bhandari, said residents will have the opportunity to watch the “historic” moment and “reflect collectively as a community”. 

The Queen’s period of Laying-in-State, which takes place in Westminster Hall from 5pm today (September 14), will end at 6.30am on Monday and the coffin will be taken in procession to Westminster Abbey for the funeral.

The coffin will then travel in procession to Wellington Arch, then on to Windsor and, once there, the state hearse will head to St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle. A committal service will then take place in the chapel. 

“While we are close to Windsor, and residents may wish to be there for the funeral and procession, we know that some people will want the opportunity to do something much more locally, which is why we have organised the opportunity for people to watch the state funeral in Bond Square,” Cllr Bhandari said. 

Residents are asked to arrive from 10.15am ahead of the funeral starting at 11am. Seating will be available on a first come first served basis, and a dedicated area for people with disabilities will also be available.
