The court has not released the list of the guests who will attend, but Lilian was extremely popular, and the invitations have gone out worldwide.
- It's royalty, family and friends who have been invited. But I haven't got the list of those attending. Many have found it difficult to say if they can get here because the funeral is held at such short notice, says Annika Sönnerberg from the press department.
One of the invited was Bond actor Roger Moore, 85. He and Lilian were very close to each other and have known each other for decades.
Lilian traveled to London and surprised Roger Moore on his 70th anniversary.
But as the princess got worse, it was he who had to come and visit her at the Villa Solbacken, where they used to drink tea together.
- We've known each other a long time. So when we got the news of her passing on Monday, we were obviously very sad, says Roger Moore, when Aftonbladet reached him at his home in Switzerland.
Moore remembers the princess with warmth, especially for her special sense of humor.
- She was truly a wonderful person. Lilian was incredibly funny, says Roger Moore.
But he will not attend the funeral.
- We can't come because I undergo eye treatment right now. We are very sorry. But now Lilian finally can rest with her beloved Prince Bertil again.
Today, the royal family takes the last farewell of the Princess Lilian - but already last night they had an own lit de parade at the Royal Chapel between 16 and 20.
Both Chris O'Neill and Sofia Hellqvist were present during the private memorial service yesterday - just as they will be in the Royal Chapel today.
Just after half past six in last night the royals began to leave the palace, but at seven Madeleine and Chris, Carl Philip, Victoria and Daniel, and Princess Christina and Tord Magnuson returned. A little later the king's other sisters arrived to end the day with a dinner at the palace.
