A Period Of Mourning
In the United Kingdom, working people will receive the rest of the day off. Stock exchanges and banks are probably going to stay closed on the day of the burial in a show of respect to the monarch. When George VI died, the BBC stopped showing any kind of comedy on TV until the end of the funeral.

Before the real funeral, however, the body is going to stay at Westminster Hall for a few days. This is an opportunity for the public to grieve. After this, she will likely be interred at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Chapel. This is also where both of her parents were buried. There is a good chance that the government will turn the funeral and the coronation into public holidays as well.
