Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral to be broadcast at Prince of Wales's World Athletes Monument
The funeral service for Queen Elizabeth II will be broadcast live Monday, September 19, 2022 from the Prince of Wales’s World Athletes Monument to the Olympic Games at Pershing Point. The monument is the only building erected by the Prince of Wales, now King Charles III, outside of Great Britain. His Majesty the King was integrally involved in its design. It was gifted by his Prince of Wales’s Foundation for Architecture to the City of Atlanta and the people of Georgia to commemorate the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games. The National Monuments Foundation, Midtown Alliance, and Fulton County are joint custodians of the monument. The monument has become a gathering place for citizens of Atlanta since the Queen’s passing last Thursday. Scores of flower bouquets, Paddington Bears, other stuffed animals such as horses and corgi dogs (animals that Her Majesty the Queen loved), paintings, and other memorabilia have been laid at the base of the monument in her honor. Large crowds are anticipated on Monday morning for the funeral broadcast from Westminster Abbey from 6:00 AM – 7:00 AM, followed by remarks from Georgia officials while the jumbotron continues to broadcast the Queen’s funeral procession to Windsor Castle.
