Westminster Hall And Westminster Abbey

[micas]

My question is simple

Westminster Hall stay close (the same bilding) that the Westminster Abbey?
I read that QEII enter in Westminster Abbey and pass for Westminster Hall in her coronation day.

Thanks

Westminster Hall is part of the Palace of Westminster, where the Houses of Parliament are located. It was built in around 1100 AD and survived a fire in the 1830s. Westminster Abbey is the abbey church of Westminster and isn't part of the Palace of Westminster or of the Houses of Parliament. They're located close to each other, but they're not part of the same building.

I am not sure about his coronation but it is where his mother will lie in state for the public to file past if they so wish. It is where the Queen Mum lay in state.

I read a few years ago that The Prince of Wales has (or at least had) intentions to hold some sort of multi-faith event in Westminster Hall after his CofE Coronation in light of his wish to be Defender of Faith, but this was (if I remember rightly in the Daily Mail).

The Coronation Banquet has been held at Buckingham Palace opposed to The Hall since at least Queen Victoria.
