The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have arrived for the funeral procession to Westminster Abbey ahead of the Queen’s State funeral.

Harry and Meghan were photographed on the Mall outside Buckingham Palace as hundreds of thousands of people lined the streets of central London to watch the funeral unfold.

They were seen as the procession to bring the Queen’s coffin through the capital got underway, ahead of the funeral service at Westminster Abbey.

The couple were looking sombre as they were driven in a Range Rover from Wellington Arch, down Constitution Hill and on The Mall towards St James’ Palace.

Four vehicles with flags were seen driving ahead of the car.

Enormous crowds have arrived to witness the spectacle, with public viewing areas for the procession of the Queen’s coffin from Westminster Abbey to Wellington Arch filled to capacity an hour before the funeral was due to begin.

The King led the procession to Westminster Abbey along with 200 musicians from the massed Pipes and Drums of Scottish and Irish Regiments, the Brigade of Gurkhas, and the Royal Air Force, with the Princess Royal, Duke of York and Earl of Wessex.

Behind the quartet walked the Queen’s grandsons Peter Phillips, the Duke of Sussex and the Prince of Wales.
