Treasury reveals how many millions the Queen’s funeral cost the UK

The largest cost was reported by the Home Office at £73.7m

The funeral and lying-in-state of Queen Elizabeth II cost taxpayers an estimated £161.7m, official figures show.

In tribute to her 70 years on the throne, the monarch’s coffin was paraded through Scotland from Balmoral to Edinburgh before it lay in Westminster Hall for four days prior to her funeral on 19 September.

More than 250,000 people filed through the ancient hall in the Palace of Westminster to pay their respects, before the late Queen’s coffin was taken to its final resting place in the King George VI Memorial Chapel in Windsor.
