Queen Elizabeth II: If the British monarch dies, expect these things to occur

It is also expected that London will be visited by many people. According to Gullace, Buckingham Palace will experience overcrowding with many mourners who would likely leave notes, mementos, and bouquets of flowers.

“National flags will be immediately flown at half-mast on all government and civic buildings, such as churches and the Royal Palaces across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland,” Hughes said. There will also be official gun salutes in London, Edinburgh, Belfast, Cardiff, and other ‘saluting garrison stations,’ hours following the announcement of Queen Elizabeth II’s death.

Bells will toll also in churches around London. Hughes said that the period of mourning before the funeral will more likely be 10 days. Then, the full details of the royal funeral will be issued, as well as the details of the National Minute’s Silence.
