More than 250,000 people saw the late Queen Elizabeth lying in state in London before her 2022 burial. Prince Philip designed a bespoke Land Rover hearse for his departure in 2021. The royal family plan their own funerals from start to finish. This documentary charts the history of royal bereavement, a process steeped in tradition, from who keeps guard over the bodies and where they are buried to how the new monarch takes to the throne
