How to watch the Queen’s funeral on TV in the US: Start times and schedule

Funeral for late monarch will take place on Monday

The TV viewing arrangements for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II have been announced.

After the Queen’s death aged 96 on Thursday (8 September), it was announced that a state funeral would be held on Monday (19 September) at Westminster Abbey.

As one of his first acts after being proclaimed as the new monarch, King Charles III declared the day of the funeral a public holiday and a national day of mourning for UK residents.

After laying in state at historic Westminster Hall the Queen will eventually be moved to Windsor Castle for burial at St George’s Chapel where she will be alongside her husband, Prince Philip, who died in April 2021.

The late monarch’s funeral will be the first State Funeral in the U.K. since Winston Churchill’s death in 1965.

Monday’s service will be broadcast live in the US, starting at 11am local time in London, or 6am ET/3am PT.

The Queen is currently lying in state in Westminster Hall at the Palace of Westminster, after having arrived in Procession from Buckingham Palace on Wednesday.

The Palace says that the Queen’s coffin will be transported from Westminster Palace to Westminster Abbey on Monday beginning at 10.44am British time (5.44am ET), with a procession led by the Royal Navy.

King Charles, members of the Royal Family and members of The King’s Household will follow the coffin.
