A day packed with funeral events in London and Windsor began early when the doors of 900-year-old Westminster Hall were closed to mourners after hundreds of thousands had filed in front of her coffin since September 15.

Queen Elizabeth's funeral inside Westminster Abbey is breaking with centuries of tradition.
Instead of continuing down the path of Britain's previous Kings and Queens to the chapel at Windsor, her body will be carried from where its been laying in state at Westminster Hall on a shorter journey, across the road to the abbey.
Today's funeral will be the first since 1760 that a British monarch's final farewell will have taken place inside the gothic church.
Dean of Westminster David Hoyle says the Queen had a special relationship with the abbey.
"This is the church place where she was married in 1947 and this is of course the place of coronation," he says.
