dbo:abstract In the United Kingdom, state funerals are usually reserved for monarchs. The most recent was for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on 19 September 2022. A state funeral may also be held to honour a highly distinguished figure following the approval of the monarch and Parliament (of the expenditure of public funds). The last non-royal state funeral in the UK was that of Sir Winston Churchill, on 30 January 1965. Other funerals, including those of senior members of the British royal family and high-ranking public figures, may share many of the characteristics of a state funeral without being categorised as such; for these, the term 'ceremonial funeral' is used. In the last fifty years, ceremonial funerals have been held for Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma (1979); Diana, Princess of Wales (1997); Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother (2002); Margaret Thatcher, Baroness Thatcher (2013); and His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (2021). Ceremonial funerals have tended in general to follow the ritual patterns of a state funeral (if on a somewhat smaller scale). A gun carriage is used to transport the coffin between locations, accompanied by a procession of military bands and detachments along with mourners and other officials. There may also be a lying in state and other associated ceremonies. (en)
