The State Funeral of HM Queen Elizabeth II

8am, BBC One

The Queen will be laid to rest today, with the procession starting at 10.44am when the coffin will be taken from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey in London. The funeral itself will begin at 11am with family members, senior UK politicians, heads of state from across the world and representatives from the charities she supported in attendance. Afterwards, the coffin will travel in procession to Wellington Arch, from where it will go to Windsor. A hearse will take the coffin along the Long Walk to St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle for the committal service. Hollie Richardson

Incest is a rite of passage for the royals of Westeros. Now that Rhaenyra can tick off “dalliance with Uncle Daemon”, as well as “racy night with Ser Criston Cole”, she is ready to choose her husband. Criston, however, can’t kiss and forget as easily. HR

Season two of the quiz where Richard Ayoade’s guests take turns to set questions continues.
