As we Jews say, wishing the Queen and family a long life. Rest in peace, Prince Phillip - may his memory be a blessing
Sorry to get down to brass tacks here but people might be interested in the current rules for funerals:
30 people maximum under "Step 2" which begins on Monday and is likely to last until 17 May

30 people maximum under "Step 2" which begins on Monday and is likely to last until 17 May

Commemorative events for for deaths will be maximum 15 people
The same limits will apply from "not before" 17 May to "not before" 21 June, under Step 3, except the limit for commemorative events following a person's death will increase to 30.
In November, during the second lockdown, a special exception was put into the regulations to allow for Remembrance Day and Armistice Day vigils - of unlimited numbers so long as they were socially distanced. It may be that the govt considers adding an exception...
... but I'm guessing they may find people object on the basis that the rules should be the same for everyone, we have all made sacrifices etc. and the Royal Family may not want that, or may wait until after 21 June for a public commemoration.
