PC Palmer was guarding the Houses of Parliament on March 22, when he was fatally stabbed by Khalid Masood, who also killed three others and injured many by driving into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge.
The funeral cortege will make its way from Westminster, via Lambeth Bridge, to Southwark Cathedral for a service at 2pm, when police forces across the country will hold a two minute silence.
