Events since the passing of the Queen on Thursday 8 September have run like clockwork. And today's proceedings are no different.The schedule reveals that Elizabeth II's oak coffin, adorned with the Royal Standard, will be conveyed via gun carriage from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall this afternoon.
The silent procession, which will pass The Mall and Horse Guard's Parade, will begin at exactly 2:22pm. But this very specific scheduling has left many wondering what the significance of that time is.
One Twitter user @jonesy312 questioned whether that time has been chosen as that was the exact passing time of the late Queen. He tweeted: "2.22 very precise any reason for that is that the actual time of death of our beloved queen???" When the Queen's death was announced, a specific time was not given by Buckingham Palace, it was just revealed that she had "died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon".
Others think that the timetable is for rather more practical reasons with @JamesHaslett2 writing: "My guess is it's because the walk has been timed at 38 minutes and that makes the arrival sport on 3pm." @WearyTrav agreed, tweeting: "It takes 38 minutes to parade to Westminster Hall so she will arrive at exactly 3pm." Dickie Arbiter, who served as a spokesman for Queen Elizabeth II and a media consultant to Prince Charles agrees with this account. "Simply to arrive at Westminster Hall at 3pm on the dot," he explains of the timings.
