World leaders have gathered in London for Queen Elizabeth's funeral. Her coffin has been lying in state in London's historic Westminster Hall since Wednesday evening. WION tells you who will be attending the event and who will not.

Queen Elizabeth Funeral: Who will be attending the event and who will not

Royalty is not without its strict rules, protocols and customs. Some of these date back to centuries when they were first made. British Royal Family is no exception to this. While it may look glamorous to be a royal. Even they are bound by strict rules. Queen Elizabeth the Second's funeral brought forth some of these norms.&nbsp;

The Queen passed away on September 8 after ruling the &nbsp;United Kingdom for 7 decades. Her passing is truly an epochal moment. Every minute detail about her funeral is being closely watched by millions across the world.&nbsp;

It was hence not lost on viewers that while King Charles the Third, Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Prince William sported military uniforms while they attended the funeral procession, Prince Harry wore a black suit and not any military outfit.

It definitely looked odd to the casual eye because Prince Harry has gone on two military missions in Afghanistan. It would have been natural for him to don his military uniform right?

Not quite, in the world of British Royals.

Buckingham Palace has previously made clear that only working members of the Royal&nbsp;Family who hold rank in the military can wear a military uniform during such events.

Prince Harry is no longer a working member of the royal family.&nbsp;

But he had a military rank right?

Well, his military ranks were taken from him when he opted to step down from royal duties as a senior member of the Royal Family. Prince Harry and his wife Megan Markle more than two years ago.

UK: World leaders who will and won't be attending Queen Elizabeth II's funeral 

Prince Harry and William along with their six&nbsp;cousins&nbsp;honoured the late monarch and their&nbsp;grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, as they held a vigil at the side of her coffin at Westminster castle.&nbsp; 
 
This was the first time in history when the monarch's grandchildren held a vigil. William&nbsp;stood at the head of the coffin,&nbsp;and Harry at its foot. The other cousins Zara Tindall, Peter Phillips, Princesses Beatrice and&nbsp;Eugenie,&nbsp;Lady Louise Windsor and her brother&nbsp;Viscount Severn stood by the side of the coffin. 
 
Harry, who had stepped back from his&nbsp;royal duties, was allowed to wear his military uniform, especially for the vigil. But, he was left 'heartbroken' when the late monarch's initials ''ER'' were missing from his uniform.&nbsp;

His brother William, who is now Prince of Wales, was however wearing the uniform with the initials on his shoulders.&nbsp; 
 
As per Sunday Times, Harry was given a uniform earlier that day but without the Queen's initials, which are usually&nbsp;tucked on the shoulders of the&nbsp;uniform.

Wearing the attire without the silver brooch left him devastated.

A source told Sunday Times: “He is heartbroken. To remove his grandmother’s initials feels very intentional.” 
 
For the unversed, only working royals are allowed to wear the uniform and brooch. Harry, who had quit his royal life with&nbsp;Meghan Markle in 2020,&nbsp;was barred from wearing the same. But his father, King Charles III gave him permission to wear a uniform during the vigil to ''avoid embarrassment''. 
 
However, what raised eyebrows was that Prince Andrew had the&nbsp;royal cipher&nbsp;on his uniform as he held a vigil with his siblings on&nbsp;Friday, September 16. The Duke of York is also not a royal member.

Before this, Harry and Meghan were uninvited from a pre-funeral function.

Prince Harry 'heartbroken' after Queen’s initials were stripped from his uniform: Report

David Beckham was one of the most prominent athletes and celebrities who made an appearance at&nbsp;Westminster Hall to offer tribute to the recently deceased Queen.

However, it seems like the&nbsp;former England national team skipper willingly chose to stand in the hours-long line before bidding a tearful farewell to the monarch.&nbsp;

Reports suggest that he refused to take the easy way out to pay his respects to the Queen as his 'extremely-royalist' grandfather would not have appreciated the same.&nbsp;

"David could have avoided all of the queuing but he wanted to be like everyone else. He said his grandad wouldn’t have [jumped the queue] so neither would he," said an anonymous source while in conversation with Daily Mail.

"He had been wondering all week when the best time was to go and finally he went for this morning.

"David was brought up in an East End family who were real royalists – the kind who would stand to attention when the national anthem came on. He wanted to go to see the Queen like any other member of the public."

While standing in the queue, Beckham offered fans some insight into the experience while in conversation with BBC News.&nbsp;‘We all want to be here together.

"We all want to experience something where we celebrate the amazing life of our Queen and I think something like this today is meant to be shared together,’ said Beckham, who was seen sporting a black suit and a flat cap.

As far as athletes are concerned, Tyson Fury and his wife Paris Fury also made their way to Buckingham Palace to offer a tribute to the queen, with a beautiful bouquet of white roses.

David Beckham refused to skip the hours-long line to offer his tribute to the Queen

Former England football team skipper David Beckham was seen lined up alongside thousands of mourning compatriots to catch a glimpse of Queen Elizabeth II for the last time as she lay in her coffin&nbsp;in state at Westminster Hall.

In a recent interaction with ITV, Beckham admitted that he was a great fan of the royal family growing up and felt he needed to pay his respects to the Queen before she was laid to rest perpetually.

He further admitted that he would have a better chance at beating the crowd if he joined the line at 2 am, how that was not the case as the 47-year-old was forced to stand in the hours-long line with thousands of other mourners, who approached the line with the same idea in mind.

"I thought by coming at 2 a.m. it was going to be a little bit quieter. I was wrong. Everybody had that in mind. The people here are all ages. There was an 84-year-old lady."

"There was a 90-year-old gentleman walking around. Everybody wants to be here to be a part of this experience and celebrate what Her Majesty has done for us," said Beckham, while describing his experience of standing in line to see the Queen for the last time.

Photographs of the footballing sensation flooded social media after keen-eyed fans spotted him in the line. In those pictures, Beckham was seen clad in formals, including a black tie and a flat cap.

In the same interaction, Beckham also offered fans some insight into his experience of receiving the OBE honour from the Queen.&nbsp;"To step up, I have my wife there as well, to get my honour and to speak to Her Majesty. To ask a question. I was so lucky to have a few moments like that in my life," he said.

Former England skipper David Beckham lines up in snaking queue to pay respects to Queen Elizabeth II

Former heavyweight boxing kingpin Tyson Fury was recently snapped in London along with his wife Paris Fury as the duo were seen dropping off a beautiful bouquet of flowers at Buckingham Palace shortly after Queen Elizabeth II's demise.

The Furys are among a myriad of celebrities and British citizens, who have flocked to the nation's capital in hordes to pay their respects to the late monarch. Numerous mourners have offered floral tributes, which are later transported to Green Park.&nbsp;

Mourners have also lined up by the thousands in snaking queues that have extended across hours to catch a final glimpse of the Queen and her coffin, which is housed in&nbsp;Westminster Hall before the commencement of the state funeral on September 18th.

'The Gypsy King' was seen carrying a beautiful bouquet of white roses, which was accompanied by a thoughtful hand-written card that was signed by the boxer himself. " To Our Queen. Great may your bed be in Heaven. Love from Tyson and Paris xx. Gypsy King x," read the card.

However, as far as reactions from the fans are concerned, it was a mixed bag as some hailed the former heavyweight champion for his thoughtful actions, while other were just puzzled by the way he chose to sign the card, writing 'Gypsy King' instead of his legal name.

Prince Andrew has made a comeback to the public eye since the passing of Queen Elizabeth II&nbsp;on September 8.&nbsp;

It is expected that the Duke of York will take centre stage at memorial services for his mother, such as this week's procession of her casket through Edinburgh and London. During a time of national sorrow, Andrew is experiencing personal loss.&nbsp;

However, a few months ago, any public appearance at all would have appeared completely improbable due to the aftermath of his long and contentious relationship with the two convicted sex traffickers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

The monarch, who is now tenth in line to the throne, lost his military patronage and right to use the HRH title after paying Virginia Giuffre a monetary settlement after she accused him of sexual assault, a charge he disputed.&nbsp;

Andrew's abrupt return has surprised lawyers who defended Epstein victims as well as other sex-crimes victim advocates. Even if they never meet Andrew, it might be upsetting for Epstein survivors, according to some.&nbsp;

It is "beyond shameful to see Andrew being granted any form of state-sponsored honour or privilege, given his past affiliation with Jeffrey Epstein," declared Mariann Wang, who is the attorney for more than a dozen Epstein survivors.

In 2008, Epstein admitted guilt to soliciting a minor for prostitution.&nbsp;

Andrew, who kept in touch with the New York banker after his guilty plea, fiercely refutes the accusation that they had intercourse while the accuser was a teenager.
