Visitors will be welcomed to offer prayers, light a candle and observe the two-minute silence at 11am before the start of the funeral at Westminster Abbey on Monday.

The Very Rev Adrian Dorber, Dean of Lichfield, said: “This is an historic day as we watch the funeral of the longest reigning monarch in British history, but it is also a deeply poignant moment as we say goodbye to the Queen.

“We pray that Lichfield Cathedral might be of service to its community during this time of mourning and that we can offer stability and hope for the future.”

Many cathedrals – including Coventry, Gloucester, Lichfield, Portsmouth, Truro and Peterborough – will hold a vigil the night before the funeral marking a national moment of reflection at 8pm.
