It seems to be generally accepted that the state funeral will be on the 19th. The Crown Jewels will presumably be taken out of the Tower for the lying in state and for the funeral.

Westminster Abbey has already announced that they will not be open for tourist visits until the 22nd.

The various current royal palaces are closed: no word yet on when they will re-open - keep checking their website

Otherwise, it's up to individual organisations to decide whether they want to close, but that's unlikely to happen after the funeral.

I think the royal palaces remain closed for the length of the Royal (as opposed to National) Mourning. The new HRH has already said that will be until 1 week after her funeral.
National mourning is expected to end the day after her funeral I believe, though Truss has yet to say.

Good news, our local church has been practising bell ringing for the two ceremonies. My goodness this radio is getting boring, Queen still dead.

Thank you to everyone for the information. I will keep checking various websites for information.

Public holiday on the day of the Queen's funeral.

However that date has oddly not been announced. Most newspapers suggest Monday 19th the day after the laying in state finishes.

yep. US tennis commentary team [for UK audience] in head to toe black is what I call overkill, especially as most aren't brits.

Dressing in black shows respect as a Brit I appreciate this.This is a massive event in the UK and an amazing opportunity to witness History happening before your very eyes.

History happens everyday, but I do understand that for many people this is an emotional experience. Our local town crier will be proclaiming the King at 2:30 in our market square (think large red faced man in coat, hat and ringing a bell). Radio at the moment is full of people talking slowly and carefully, hour after hour. Even Extinction Rebellion https://extinctionrebellion.uk/ have declared a 10 day break in activities.
