Many of those mourners have lined the streets to watch as her casket was transported to the church.
Nearly 100 heads of state — including President Joe Biden, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, French President Emmanuel Macron, Ukraine’s first lady Olena Zelenska, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, as well as the presidents of Austria, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, and Poland — are in attendance for the ceremony, which began at 6 a.m. EST .
The service will be led by top Church of England leaders, including the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby. After the Westminster ceremony, the queen's casket will be brought to Windsor Castle for a committal service in St. George's Chapel before she is buried next to her late husband.
