Britain is to observe a nationwide minute of silence Sunday, on the eve of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.
The British government says the “moment of reflection” will take place at 8 p.m. (1900GMT).
People are encouraged to mark the silence at home or at community events.
The queen’s funeral will be held next Monday at Westminster Abbey.
Britain’s monarch of the past 70 years died Thursday in Scotland at the age of 96.
