The Archbishop of Canterbury says

Let us pray

O Lord, our Heavenly Father, Almighty and everlasting God, we remember
before thee our sister, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. We give thanks for
her example of faithful duty and unwearied service, and for the loyalty and
love which she inspired.

Hear Lord, the prayers of thy people, and grant that we who confess thy name
on earth with her may be made perfect in the kingdom of thy son, through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Father of all mercies and giver of all comfort: deal graciously, we pray,
with these who mourn, that casting all their care on thee, they may know the
consolation of thy love; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Dean of Westminster says

Go in the Peace of Christ.
