The funeral is taking place tomorrow and will be aired on all national broadcasting services, including the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Sky, and is set to be watched by billions worldwide.
The late Monarch passed away peacefully on Thursday 8 September in Balmoral Castle, and the country has been in a period of national mourning since.
Lisa said that the Queen's engagement ring, which was designed by her late husband Prince Phillip and contained diamonds from a tiara owned by his mother Princess Alice of Battenberg, will be given to the Queen and Prince Phillip's only daughter, Princess Anne. The engagement ring is set in platinum and has eleven natural diamonds, with one three-carat round solitaire diamond set with five smaller stones on each side.
Her Majesty's private jewellery collection holds around 300 pieces, including 98 brooches, 34 pairs of earrings and 15 rings. When not worn by the monarch, they were stored in the Queen's Gallery at Buckingham Palace. The late Queen's coffin requires eight pallbearers rather than the usual six due to it being lead-lined, and this is because the Queen will be interred, rather than buried, in the King George VI Memorial Vault, where the remains of her father father, King George's VI, the Queen Mother and her sister Princess Margaret are resting.
