Prince Harry has been seen walking beside his brother Prince William as they follow their grandmother Queen Elizabeth's funeral procession.

However, the 38-year-old's experience has had pointedly different moments to his only sibling, who is now heir to the throne.

One being that he was unable to perform a salute during key moments, including inside Westminster Hall for the State funeral and while passing the Cenotaph.

The Duke of Sussex was not permitted to make the symbolic gesture as he passed the war memorial because he is no longer a working royal.

This is also why the King's brother Prince Andrew was not allowed to, the two men bowing their heads instead.

Another more visible difference was that Harry and Andrew were not allowed to wear military uniforms. Instead the pair donned morning suits.

Harry served in the British Army for 10 years and was twice deployed to Afghanistan.

He lost his three honorary military titles when he and his wife Meghan Markle stepped down from their senior royal roles in 2020.

Prince Andrew served in the Falklands War in 1982 during his 22 years in the Royal Navy.

He was stripped of his military titles and royal patronages in January after facing a US civil action over sexual assault allegations,

King Charles III, Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Prince William wore military uniforms. 

More than 2000 people will be in attendance when Queen Elizabeth II is farewelled during her state funeral at Westminster Abbey, but some young royals are believed to be missing the historic event.

Prince William and his wife Catherine's nine-year-old son Prince George and seven-year-old daughter Princess Charlotte will attend the service, while four-year-old Prince Louis is not expected to be present at the funeral.

George, who is now second in line to the throne, and Charlotte will walk through Westminster Abbey with the royal family in procession behind the queen's coffin as it is carried by pallbearers today.

The funeral's order of service showed that George and Charlotte will walk together behind their parents.

They will be followed by Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, and other royal family members.

Prince Harry and Meghan's children Lilibet and Archie are also not expected to attend the funeral.

The funeral guest list will include hundreds of global leaders and other political figures as all nations with which the UK has diplomatic relations have received invitations.

Up to 500 foreign dignitaries are expected to attend.

Among those will be Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, New Zealand leader Jacinda Ardern, and US President Joe Biden.

Here's who we know will be at the funeral on Monday.

Australian guests attending the Queen's funeral

Albanese will lead Australia's delegation of officials as well as 10 "ordinary and exceptional" Aussies who were selected to attend

The attendees, in fact, are not so ordinary.

They include current Australian of the Year and retired tennis star Dylan Alcott; Aboriginal elder, artist and Ngan'gityemerri language group activist Dr Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr Baumann; and Queensland's Local Hero 2022, Saba Abraham, an Eritrean refugee who played a vital role in preventing the spread of COVID-19.

The guests also include special needs dentist Dr Trudy Lin, research, training and education pioneer Professor Helen Milroy, and Valmai Dempsey, one of the ACT's longest-serving volunteers.

Kim Smith, a local Tasmanian hero; Danny Abdallah, the Sydney father who co-founded the i4give Foundation; and Helen Milroy, the 2021 WA Australian of the Year are the remaining invitees who will attend.

Chris Waller, who trained superstar racehorse Winx as well as some of the Queen's own steeds, was the tenth Aussie to be given an invite, but he won't be attending the funeral due to COVID-19.

Governor-General David Hurley, acting High Commissioner to the UK Lynette Wood and RSL president Greg Melick are other Australian officials who will attend.

Albanese's partner, Jodie Haydon, will also be at the funeral, as will Hurley's wife, Linda.

Former soldier Ben Roberts-Smith will reportedly attend the commemorations as a Victoria Cross recipient.

All Victoria Cross and George Cross holders – military awards for gallantry – receive invites.

Horse trainers Gai and Robert Waterhouse told the Sydney Morning Herald they had accepted an invitation to the funeral from Lord Chamberlain Andrew Parker, and would travel on the federal government's VIP flight to London, although they are not part of Australia's official delegation.

British royals attending the Queen's funeral

An extensive list of British royals is expected to be in attendance, starting with the Queen's children: King Charles III, Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Prince Andrew.

European and other royals attending the Queen's funeral

The Danish royal family has confirmed the attendance of Australia's own Crown Princess Mary, along with her husband, Crown Prince Frederik, and Queen Margrethe II.

Having just celebrated her Golden Jubilee, the Danish queen was one of the longest-serving royals behind Queen Elizabeth II.

Four members of Spain's royal family will be present as Spain's former monarch Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia join King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia.

King Willem-Alexander, Queen Máxima and Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands will be at the funeral, as will King Phillipe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium.

King Harald and Queen Sonja of Norway have also confirmed their attendance, along with Romania's Custodian of the Crown, Margareta, and Prince Consort Radu.

Japan's Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako will be in attendance and Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf Queen Silvia have also reportedly accepted their invitation.

Japanese news outlet Asahi Shimbun reported, citing Imperial Household Agency officials, that a Japanese emperor has only attended the funeral of a foreign head of state or royal family member on one previous occasion, when then-Emperor Akihito attended the funeral of Belgian King Baudouin in 1993.

Jordan's King Abdullah II, who remembered the Queen as an "iconic leader" and "beacon of wisdom and principled leadership", will also be attending her funeral.

British guests attending the Queen's funeral

Less than two weeks after being asked to form a government by Elizabeth II, Liz Truss will lead the UK's political attendees, less than two weeks after being asked to form government by the late monarch.

Opposition Leader Sir Keir Starmer and Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon have yet to publicly confirm their attendance but will certainly will be there.

Almost 200 UK Queen's Birthday honour recipients will also join the congregation.

The palace said that number included those who "made extraordinary contributions to the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and have volunteered in their local communities".

Other world leaders attending the Queen's funeral

US President Joe Biden was among the first world leaders to announce that he would be flying in, and was set to be joined by his wife, Jill Biden.

The leaders of most Commonwealth countries, including New Zealand and Canada, are also expected to attend.

New Zealand media reports Ardern will be joined by Governor-General Dame Cindy Kiro, Māori King Kiingi Tūheitia, former governor-general Dame Silvia Cartwright and others.

At least four other Pacific Island nations will be represented: Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Tuvalu and Samoa.

Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape and Governor-General Bob Dadae, Solomon Islands Governor-General David Vunagi, Tuvalu Prime Minister Kausea Natanopo and Governor-General Tofiga Vaevalu Falani and Samoan Head of State Afioga Tuimalealiifano Vaaletoa Sualauvi II will be in attendance, their governments say.

Albanese said the countries had accepted "transport" help to get to London.

"We offered passage to senior representatives from all 10 Pacific countries which are Commonwealth members," he said, a few days before two RAAF jets left Sydney on Thursday night..

"Final lists are being settled."

France's Emmanuel Macron, Germany's Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Italy's Sergio Mattarella, Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro and South Korea's Yoon Suk Yeol are among the presidents attending.

Local media reports Israeli President Isaac Herzog and his wife will also be attending.

Irish President Michael Higgins and Taoiseach Micheal Martin are also expected to be among the mourners.

European Council President Charles Michel would attend, an EC spokeswoman confirmed to 9news.com.au.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen would also be there, according to the Guardian.

World leaders not invited to the Queen's funeral

Unsurprisingly, several major leaders will not be offered invitations to the funeral.

A senior British government source told CNN Russian President Vladimir Putin, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko and Myanmar General Min Aung Hlaing would not be invited.

In the case of Russia and Belarus, the source said their exclusion was due to Putin's invasion of Ukraine, which Belarus has supported.

In the case of Myanmar, it is because of the treatment of the Rohingya people, the source said.

Palace protocol is not to reveal invitees to family events, and it has not commented on the guest list.

Earlier this month, Myanmar's ruling junta sentenced the UK's former ambassador to the country to a year in prison over immigration charges.

Syria, Venezuela and Afghanistan are three of the countries that haven't been asked to send a representative, according to Britain's PA Media news agency.

Representatives from North Korea and Nicaragua have been invited "only at ambassadorial level", PA added.

When Bruce Saunders was found in a woodchipper, only his legs were remaining.

But Saunders was dead before his body was fed into the machine after unwittingly becoming embroiled in a "love quadrangle", the Brisbane Supreme Court has been told.

Gregory Lee Roser, 63, and Sharon Graham, 61, are on trial after being charged with the murder of "good natured" Saunders.

Police initially believed Saunders, 54, died in an industrial accident while clearing a friend's rural property near Gympie north of Brisbane in November 2017.

When emergency crews responded to a call they found Saunders in the woodchipper at the Goomboorian property.

"All that was left of the body was the legs from about just above the knees down," crown prosecutor David Meredith told the jury on Monday in his opening address.

"It is not the prosecution's case that he was killed by… the chipper. He was killed and put into the chipper to hide the fact that it was murder."

Roser and Graham had been planning Saunders' murder for up to six months, the prosecutor said.

He said Graham was in a de facto relationship with Saunders after they had met online, purchasing a house together.

But Saunders was "worth a great deal more to her dead than alive", he said.

He had made out a will and taken out a life policy in favour of Graham that was originally for $500,000 but increased to $750,000 a week before his death, the court heard.

Meredith said the court was expected to hear a police recording of Graham calling the insurance company days after Saunders' death inquiring about collecting the insurance, telling them that police had decided it was an industrial accident.

"The prosecution says Sharon Graham had a powerful motive for wanting Bruce Saunders dead," Meredith said.

Graham had asked Roser to help kill Saunders in a plan that evolved over time, the prosecutor said.

First they planned for Roser to break into Saunders' Nambour house and kill him.

Another plan involved Roser shooting Saunders at his workplace.

Finally they decided to kill him and make it look like an accident, bringing in another man Peter Koenig.

Koenig pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact to murder in June 2022, the jury was told.

He is expected to give evidence during the four-week trial, saying Graham asked him and Roser to murder Saunders, Meredith said.

He said Roser was eventually the one who killed Saunders by hitting his head with an iron bar before the body was fed into the chipper.

Graham was living with Saunders but at the time was in a relationship with Roser and may have also had "intimate relations" with Koenig.

"This is a love quadrangle because Peter Koenig, Greg Roser and Bruce Saunders were all in love it seems at least at some stage with Sharon Graham," Meredith said.

The final journey of Queen Elizabeth II is nearing its end as her coffin moves to Westminster Abbey for the state funeral.

Enormous crowds are gathering across the United Kingdom to pay their respects to the beloved monarch as she lied in state, with many more camping on the street to secure their spot ahead of her final farewell.

Will there be a public holiday in Australia?

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced Australians will be given a public holiday on September 22 to mourn the death of Queen Elizabeth II

The day will officially be called the "National Day of Mourning for Her Majesty The Queen".

Why the Queen's funeral is at Westminster Abbey

Her funeral will be the first state funeral in Britain since Sir Winston Churchill in January 1965.

And it will be the first funeral of a monarch at Westminster Abbey since King George II in 1760.

The first monarch to have a funeral at Westminster was Edward the Confessor in 1066.

Since 1760, the tradition has been for the funerals of a monarch to take place at St George's Chapel in Windsor, where the Queen will be laid to rest after the state funeral.

But the Queen decided to break with tradition because of the special role Westminster Abbey has played throughout her life.

Her father, King George VI was coronated there in 1937.

She married Prince Philip there 10 years later.

And then in 1953 she had her own coronation there, crowned as Queen on June 2.

Royal tradition has dictated funerals for British monarchs be held at St George's Chapel in Windsor.

However, the Queen said she wanted to break from tradition to have her funeral held in Westminster Abbey.

Shortly, the Queen's coffin will be transported to Westminster Abbey where her state funeral will be attended by some 2000 guests.

Britain and the world are laying Queen Elizabeth II to rest at a state funeral that will draw presidents and kings, princes and prime ministers — and up to a million people lining the streets of London to say a final goodbye to a monarch whose 70-year reign defined an age.

A day packed with funeral events in London and Windsor began early when the doors of 900-year-old Westminster Hall were closed to mourners after hundreds of thousands had filed in front of her coffin since September 14.

Many of them had spent cold nights outdoors to pay their respects around the queen's flag-draped coffin in a moving outpouring of national grief and respect.

The closing of the hall marked the end of more than four days of the coffin lying in state and the start of the UK's first state funeral since the one held in 1965 for Winston Churchill, the first of 15 prime ministers during Elizabeth's reign.

Two days before her September 8 death at her Balmoral summer retreat, the queen appointed her last prime minister, Liz Truss.

The last member of the public to view Queen Elizabeth II's coffin as it lay in state at the Houses of Parliament was Chrissy Heerey, a serving member of the Royal Air Force from Melton Mowbray.

Heerey said "it felt like a real privilege to do that".

She said Monday she went through Westminster Hall twice — the first time in the early hours of the morning and then again just before its doors closed to mourners at 6:30am.

She said the experience was, "one of the highlights of my life and I feel very privileged to be here".

Monday was declared a public holiday in the UK in honour of Elizabeth, who died September 8 at 96.

In Australia, a public holiday will be observed on Thursday. The day of mourning takes place once the Prime Minister returns from the funeral in London. 

Her funeral will be broadcast live to more than 200 countries and territories worldwide tonight, and screened to crowds in parks and public spaces across the UK.

Police officers from around the country will be on duty as part of the biggest one-day policing operation in London's history.

Prince William and his wife Catherine's nine-year-old son Prince George and seven-year-old daughter Princess Charlotte will attend.

George, who is now second in line to the throne, and his sister will walk through Westminster Abbey with the royal family in procession behind the queen's coffin as it is carried by pallbearers Monday.

The funeral's order of service showed that George and Charlotte will walk together behind their parents.

They will be followed by Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, and other royal family members.

The royal children's four-year-old brother, Prince Louis, is not expected to be present at the funeral, which will be attended by some 2,000 people.

On the evening before the funeral, King Charles III issued a message of thanks to people in the UK and around the world, saying he and his wife Camilla, the queen consort, have been "moved beyond measure" by the large numbers of people who have turned out to pay their respects to the queen.

"As we all prepare to say our last farewell, I wanted simply to take this opportunity to say thank you to all those countless people who have been such a support and comfort to my family and myself in this time of grief," he said.

For the funeral, Elizabeth's coffin will be taken from Westminster Hall, across the road to Westminster Abbey, on a royal gun carriage drawn by 142 Royal Navy sailors.

The same carriage was used to carry the coffins of late kings Edward VII, George V and George VI, and of Churchill.

The service, in the Gothic medieval abbey where Elizabeth was married in 1947 and crowned in 1953, will be attended by 2000 people ranging from world leaders to health care workers and volunteers.

Mourners started arriving to take their seats shortly after 8am local time (6pm AEDT).

Dignitaries were arriving later, with many heads of state gathering at a nearby hospital to be driven by bus to the abbey.

The funeral will end with two minutes of silence followed by the national anthem and a piper's lament, before the queen's coffin is taken in a procession ringed by units of the armed forces in dress uniforms, with the queen's children walking behind, to Wellington Arch near Hyde Park.

There, it will be placed in a hearse to be driven to Windsor for another procession along the Long Walk, a five-kilometre avenue leading to the town's castle, before a committal service in St George's Chapel.

She will then be laid to rest with her late husband, Prince Philip, at a private family service.

Central London was already packed before dawn Monday with people seeking out a prime viewing spot, and authorities warned that it would be extremely busy.

US President Joe Biden was among leaders to pay their respects at the queen's coffin on Sunday as thousands of police, hundreds of British troops and an army of officials made final preparations for the funeral — a spectacular display of national mourning that will also be the biggest gathering of world leaders for years.

Biden called Queen Elizabeth II "decent" and "honourable" and "all about service" as he signed the condolence book, saying his heart went out to the royal family.

People across Britain paused for a minute of silence at 8pm on Sunday in memory of the only monarch most have ever known.

At Westminster Hall, the constant stream of mourners paused for 60 seconds as people observed the minute of reflection in deep silence.

In Windsor, rain began to fall as the crowd fell silent for the moment of reflection.

Some set up small camps and chairs outside Windsor Castle, spending the night there to reserve the best spots to view the queen's coffin when it arrives.

"It will all be worth it by 4 o'clock this afternoon," said Sally McCloud, a business manager from nearby Maidenhead.

"We're all here for one reason, whether it be raining or not raining. So I'm quite happy to be here and got a little bit of sleep. I've had a nice cup of coffee this morning and we'll just wait, wait in the rain."

Fred Sweeney, 52, who kitted out his spot with two Union flags on large flagpoles, said "it's just one night and day of our lives. Elizabeth gave us – you know – 70 years."

One no-show for Monday's funeral will be Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, whose invitation drew criticism from human rights groups because of the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018.

Saudi Arabia is expected to be represented by another royal, Prince Turki bin Mohammed.

King Charles III's former press secretary has revealed he stayed out of preparations for him to become King throughout the years because they meant "contemplating the death of his mother".

Speaking to 9News outside Windsor Castle, Kristina Kyriacou, who worked as the King's communication secretary and special adviser from 2009 to 2017, has said King Charles III never got involved in planning for his reign.

"Of course, during that period, behind-the-scenes we were all leading up to this moment," she said.

"And he never got involved in that – because it meant contemplating the death of his mother.

"He was very much in the background," she said.

Kyriacou went on to say she thought the grieving new King had been given strength by the public's support.

"He has always gained strength from the members of the public," she said.

"His grief has been assuaged somewhat by the amount of support he has received all over the world for the job he is doing."

"Today will be a day laiden with grief, and after today is when he will start to take stock of the responsibilities and the new role that he is assumed."

Planning has been underway for the Queen's death for 40 to 50 years according to royal commentator Dickie Arbiter.
