However, the two queens, Mette-Marit and Sonja, will travel by car because of their health and age, the Norwegian court announced.
A large crowd of spectators is expected along the procession route. When Norway's new King Haakon VIII took his oath in the Storting earlier this week, Karl Johan was reportedly lined with 200,000 people.
At 1:00 p.m., the funeral service will begin in Oslo Cathedral and the ceremony will be led by the highest representative of the Norwegian Church, Olav Fykse Tveit, and will be broadcast live on both Norwegian and Swedish television.
The ceremony will begin with a minute of silence throughout the country, beginning and ending with the church bells ringing three times. Speaker of the Storting Masud Gharahkhani and Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre will deliver memorial speeches.
Will rest in a sarcophagus
After the funeral, the bier is taken in procession to Akershus Castle Church where a private ceremony is held for the family, royal guests and other dignitaries.
The bier is then lowered into the crypt in the castle church where the two sarcophagi of King Haakon and Queen Maud as well as King Olav and Crown Princess Märtha are located.
After the ceremony in Akershus Castle Church, King Haakon and Queen Mette-Marit will come out to the courtyard of Akershus Fortress and the flags that have been flying at half-mast will be raised.
Seen from the castle balcony
In addition, a double royal salute is fired while the country's church bells ring for an hour.
Afterwards, the royal family will travel back to the palace along the same route as the procession and will appear on the palace balcony.
A reception will then be held at the palace for family, visiting heads of state, royalty and representatives of official Norway.
