Queen Elizabeth’s coffin arrived in Edinburgh on Sunday after a six-hour journey from her summer home in the Scottish Highlands, past tens of thousands of mourners lining the route, many in sombre silence, some applauding and others in tears.
During the six-hour journey, the roads from Balmoral to the capital were lined with thousands of members of the public.
This is the first stage of what King Charles has said is his mother’s ‘last great journey’.
The crowds paid their respects to the late monarch as the hearse drove past, with cheers and polite applause heard.
The oak coffin was draped with the Royal Standard of Scotland and a wreath of Balmoral flowers on top.
It was taken in a seven-car cortege to Edinburgh.
Once at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Queen’s coffin was taken out of the hearse and carried inside the building.
The Princess Royal and her husband Vice Admiral Timothy Laurence travelled in a car behind the hearse.
The coffin will rest in the Thone Room at the palace overnight so staff can pay their last respects.
On Monday, it will be taken along the Royal Mile to St Giles’ Cathedral, where a service will take place.
The procession will feature King Charles, The Princess Royal, the Duke of York and the Earl of Wessex.
The Queen Consort, Camilla, will follow by car and attend the service.
There will be a Vigil of Princes featuring the King and other royals.
The Queen will lie in state for 24 hours and the public will be invited to pay their respects.
