Palace officials say the state funeral for Queen Elizabeth II will take place on Sept. 19 at Westminster Abbey in London after the public gets an opportunity to pay their last respects to the monarch.


Queen Elizabeth II, the nation's longest-reigning sovereign, died Thursday at her summer retreat in the Scottish Highlands.


Details on the 96-year old queen's funeral will be released later, but organizers on Saturday described the ceremony as a "fitting farewell to one of the defining figures of our times.''
