King Charles is thankful for the global tributes to his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
Buckingham Palace has released a statement from the monarch on the eve of Queen Elizabeth’s state funeral, which takes place tomorrow, September 19, at 11 a.m. U.K. time. In the message, the monarch reflects on the last ten days of royal mourning while expressing his gratitude to well-wishers around the world.
“Over the last ten days, my wife and I have been so deeply touched by the many messages of condolence and support we have received from this country and across the world,” the monarch says.

“In London, Edinburgh, Hillsborough and Cardiff we were moved beyond measure by everyone who took the trouble to come and pay their respects to the lifelong service of my dear mother, The late Queen,” he continues.
The message concludes, “As we all prepare to say our last farewell, I wanted simply to take this opportunity to say thank you to all those countless people who have been such a support and comfort to my Family and myself in this time of grief.”
The late monarch’s funeral will take place at Westminster Abbey in London, and will be attended by members of the royal family and world leaders and dignitaries who have traveled to the U.K. for the occasion. Following the service, the queen will be buried at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, where Prince Philip was buried following his death last year.
