Yesterday, they stood side-by-side as they followed the late monarch from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall in a haunting echo of their mother Diana's funeral in 1997.

And they will unite in similarly solemn scenes for the state funeral on September 19.

Following the service, a procession will be led by more than 200 musicians as members of the military line the route.

Royals will follow the gun carriage carrying Her Majesty's coffin in the same formation as yesterday, with Wills and Harry putting on another united front in the sombre march.

It contrasts to the cortege at Prince Philip's funeral last year when Harry and William were separated by cousin Peter Phillips.

Next week, the Queen's grandsons will follow their father King Charles, who will lead Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward to Wellington Arch from Westminster Abbey.

Meghan, Kate, Sophie Wessex and other royals will follow by car.

Following several lessons and a sermon by the Archbishop of Canterbury, there will be a two-minute silence, observed nationwide.

The national anthem will follow, bringing the service to an end at midday.

She will then be buried with the Duke of Edinburgh in a private service at 7.30pm.
