The body of PC Keith Palmer, killed in the Westminster attack in March, is to be taken to the Palace of Westminster ahead of his funeral on Monday.
Such an honour is rare and requires the consent of the Queen.
His coffin will be taken to the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft in the Palace of Westminster where he will lie in rest for 24 hours.
The honour has in the past been reserved for senior politicians, most recently Baroness Thatcher and Tony Benn.

PC Keith Palmer was protecting the Houses of Parliament
The body of PC Keith Palmer, killed in the Westminster attack in March, is to be taken to the Palace of Westminster ahead of his funeral on Monday.
Such an honour is rare and requires the consent of the Queen.
PC Palmer, 48, was guarding the Houses of Parliament when he was stabbed by Khalid Masood, who had driven into crowds on nearby Westminster Bridge.
Five victims died in the attack on 22 March, during which Masood was shot dead by police.
PC Palmer, who was married with a five-year-old daughter, had served in the Metropolitan Police for 15 years.
His coffin will be taken to the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft in the Palace of Westminster where he will lie in rest for 24 hours.
The honour has in the past been reserved for senior politicians, most recently Baroness Thatcher and Tony Benn.
PC Palmer's body will then be taken to Southwark Cathedral, where a full police funeral will take place.
The fifth victim, Romanian Andreea Cristea, 31, who fell into the River Thames and had been in hospital since the attack, died on Thursday.
The other victims were Aysha Frade, 44, who worked at a London sixth form college, US tourist Kurt Cochran, 54, from Utah, and retired window cleaner Leslie Rhodes, 75, from south London.
Romanian ambassador to the UK, Dan Mihalache, said it was thought Masood's car had mounted the pavement and hit Ms Cristea's boyfriend Andrei Burnaz before pushing her into the river.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said he was "deeply saddened to hear of the death of Andreea Cristea".
Relatives of those killed joined members of the Royal Family at a "service of hope" at Westminster Abbey on Wednesday.
The Chapel of St Mary Undercroft in the Palace of Westminster was completed by King Edward I in 1297 and has been used as a wine cellar, a dining room for Speakers and a stables for Oliver Cromwell's horses
