Coffin leaves Kensington Palace on guard carriage. It will be draped in the royal standard with flowers on top. Doors open at Westminster Abbey for first guests. VIPs go into the Abbey.
Invited guests move into position behind the coffin as it reaches the mall.
A list of guests will be made available, palace officials said. No decision had been made Thursday as to whether members of the royal or Spencer families would be among the mourners walking behind the coffin. Junior members of the royal family arrive at Westminster Abbey. Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip leave Buckingham Palace. The royal standard is lowered, to be replaced by a Union Jack at half mast.
