Procession route: ~~Parliament House to St Andrew's Road~~ The cortege will be led by four guard-of-honour contingents from the Singapore Armed Forces and the Singapore Police Force. As the gun carriage leaves the Parliament driveway, 48 men from the SAF and SPF in ceremonial military trucks will escort it. As the procession turns into Parliament Place, the first round of a 21-gun salute will be fired from four ceremonial howitzers on the Padang. Students and military personnel will line the streets along Parliament Place, St Andrew's Road, Stamford Road and Esplanade Drive. ~~City Hall to Cantonment Road~~ At City Hall, the Republic of Singapore Air force's Black Knights will fly a Missing Man Formation as an aerial salute to Mr Lee. The procession will pass by St Andrew's Cathedral along St Andrew's Road. As the cortege crosses the Esplanade Bridge, two Navy vessels, the RSS Dauntless and RSS Resilience, will do a sail past. Flying the state flag at half-mast, they will also hoist a black flag used for mourning with signals flags representing the letters L, K, and Y. As the procession passes the Padang, the ships will sound three prolonged horn blasts of 10 seconds each. The 21st volley of the gun salute will be fired as the procession travels out of sight of Padang. At the NTUC Centre, NTUC staff, union members and their families who want to send Mr Lee off will be gathering. ~~Tanjong Pagar to Jalan Bukit Merah~~ The procession will then turn into Mr Lee's constituency Tanjong Pagar from around 1pm. It will pass Cantonment Road opposite the Tanjong Pagar Community Club and also pass the award-winning housing project The Pinnacle@Duxton. The sky garden located on the 50th floor of The Pinnacle@Duxton will be open to the public from 9am to 10pm. The other sky garden on the 26th floor is exclusive to residents. Both, however, are expected to be too high a vantage point to view the procession from. ~~Jalan Bukit Merah to Queensway~~ The cortege is expected to reach Bukit Merah at around 1.15pm. ~~Commonwealth Avenue West to University Culture Centre~~ The cortege is expected to arrive here at 1.40pm, and will be received by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and family members, and 16 pall bearers.. National University of Singapore students are planning to be at the stretch between Clementi Road and Dover MRT station at about 11.30am.
