JAKARTA - It's been answered when and where Queen Elizabeth will rest for the last time. Buckingham Palace has announced that Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral will be held at Westminster Abbey at 11 a.m., Monday, September 19.

Quoted from the official Westminster Abbey website, the last royal funeral held at the Abbey was that of King George II in 1760.

"The church where she married and where her coronation took place, the abbey bears witness to the promises that defined the life of our faithful and faithful Queen," said the Dean of Westminster, Dr. David Hoyle, Saturday 10 September.

Ever since King Edward the Confessor decided to build his church in Westminster in the 11th century, the story of the Abbey has been woven into the nation's history.

The Queen married Prince Philip of Greece, (HRH The Duke of Edinburgh) on 20 November 1947. She was crowned Queen Elizabeth II at the Convent on June 2, 1953.

Throughout her reign, the Queen was a regular visitor to the Monastery. Every year on the second Monday of March he attends the Commonwealth's annual convention.

On Friday, April 29, 2011, she attended the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton. Now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are officially Prince and Princess of Wales.
