Like it or not, we're still part of the Commonwealth. I'm no expert on the subject but, since it appears to be imminent, I've been doing some Googling. Currency, passports, portraits all have to be changed within a set period of time. Mourning protocol is defined. A whole lot of other protocol and procedure is set in place. All of this is law. None of it has been practiced during the life times of most people. During this process, will most people stare in awe and wonder at the absurdity of how much this is going to cost? Probably. But, hang on to your butts, because it's happening.
Edit...And yes, the Queen's funeral and coronation of the new Monarch will both be national holidays. In Britain for sure. I think the rest of the Commonwealth as well, but will be happy to be corrected on that.

Wow are you serious? I just got a 10-year passport.
Can I bill Buckingham palace directly for the replacement?
