Ten 'everyday Australians' will attend the late Queen's funeral, alongside Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Governor-General David Hurley. 9News

Australian of the Year Dylan Alcott is among the 10 Australians who will travel to London for the official funeral service on Monday, alongside Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Governor-General David Hurley.Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Buckingham Palace requested 10 "everyday" citizens who had made meaningful contributions to their communities to be invited.

Retired police officer Kim Smith joined the Rotary Club and has made a name for himself through his volunteer work."Kim oversaw the formation and management of Reclink, which organises sporting activities for street youth becoming clean, as well as the Young Women's program, mentoring teenage girls who were survivors of abuse and neglect," a statement from the Prime Minister's Office said.

The Nauiyu Nambiyu woman was awarded a Member of the Order of Australia medal in 1998 for service to the community and named Senior Australian of the year in 2021.She was integral in preventing the spread of COVID-19 in Queensland, gathering leaders from culturally and linguistically diverse communities to ensure public health messages were translated in a timely manner.

"In response, she led 40 fellow volunteers as they supported fire-affected communities during the emergency that stretched over many weeks."Alcott made the Queen laugh in a video call in June, when he made a joke about his Wimbledon success."Unfortunately, won a couple of Wimbledon titles, beat some Great Britain players, which I was happy about but maybe you weren't so happy about.

In 2009, Dylan was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia for his service to sport as a Gold Medallist at the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games. Milroy was Australia's first indigenous doctor and has been a "pioneer" in researching and training in the field of Aboriginal and child mental health.

Let's hope Dylan doesn't stick a vibrator in his Mrs vag for the service.
