Princes William and Harry would mount a silent vigil at the coffin of their late grandmother today (Saturday).

Here is a look at some of the moments:

Buckingham Palace has released specific details about the schedule of the funeral—which includes the heads of state, foreign government representatives, foreign royal families, governors general, and prime ministers.

The children of Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles with Princess Anne and Princes Edward and Andrew today (Saturday), hold a silent vigil for 10 minutes in military uniform at Westminster hall.

Flowers, images, and banners overwhelmed mourners gathered outside the palace and also on London streets.
