The final route the Queen’s coffin will take from London to Windsor has been revealed.

Royal well-wishers will be able to watch the Queen’s final journey as her coffin is driven 22 miles to St George’s Chapel.

The convoy will take a quieter slower route through A-roads instead of motorways, allowing Royal fans a chance to say a final goodbye.

The journey will begin in London and travel west along the south edge of Hyde Park, before passing through Queens Gate and heading along Cromwell Road.

Continuing through the capital, it will pass Hammersmith and Chiswick along the north bank of the River Thames.

It will then head to the Great West Road where it will pass south of Heathrow Airport, before going past Staines.

The Queen’s coffin will then enter the grounds of Windsor Castle through Shaw Farm Gate and head north before finally arriving at St George’s Chapel.

Following her funeral on Monday she is expected to be laid to rest with her husband Prince Phillip just after 7.30pm.

Across London councils have also announced a number of road closures ahead of the funeral.

Westminster City Council and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea unveiled plans for major road closures today.

Roads around Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament are all set to be shut until at least the start of next Tuesday.

Westminster Bridge will also remain closed. While pedestrians and cyclists are set to be allowed to move through most of the areas, the closures will impact public transport – and the council said bicycles may be removed.

The Queen’s coffin will be carried to Westminster Abbey on a 123-year-old gun carriage.

Kings and Queens have also been crowned at the Abbey before, and The Queen herself was crowned there during her coronation in 1953.

The Queen’s coffin will be drawn in a walking procession from the Abbey to Wellington Arch, at London’s Hyde Park Corner before heading to Windsor by hearse.

The coffin will then make its final journey in the afternoon to St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.
