The public are expected to queue overnight to see Queen's coffin in Scotland with mourners being warned that they could be waiting for hours.
As well as being warned of long queues, people have also been told that photographs will not be allowed to be taken inside St Giles’ Cathedral with security checks being carried out.
The coffin arrived in Edinburgh on Sunday (September 12) with thousands lining the streets from Aberdeenshire to the capital as the late monarch left Balmoral for the final time.

The oak coffin will now be borne in Procession from the Palace of Holyroodhouse to St Giles’ Cathedral this afternoon with a Service to celebrate the Queen and her connection to Scotland also taking place in Edinburgh today at 3pm.
Those wishing to pay their respects however could be waiting "a number of hours" according to the BBC to see the coffin which will be able to be viewed from around 5pm today until 3pm tomorrow as it lies at rest in the cathedral overnight.
Addressing those traveling to see the monarch, Travel Scotland tweeted: "Remember you may be standing for long periods of time. It's important to consider the weather conditions and to dress accordingly. Consider supplies such as water to keep hydrated. Travel will take longer than normal, entering and leaving the city centre."
High levels of security are expected with mourners being warned to come prepared. However, there will be points that people can buy refreshments as they wait.
As the coffin departs Scotland tomorrow, the plan is that the late Queen will be taken to Edinburgh Airport by RAF flight to Northolt - just outside London - where the coffin will then be taken to London accompanied by Princess Anne, the Princess Royal.
The coffin is expected to arrive in London shortly before 7pm tomorrow (September 13) where it will then travel to Buckingham Palace and met by King Charles III and The Queen Consort, Camilla.
After this, the Queen's coffin will travel from the Palace to Westminster Hall shortly after 2pm on September 14 where it will lie in state for four days until the funeral.
