Queen's coffin to be flown from Edinburgh to Buckingham Palace with Princess Anne by her side

The Queen’s coffin will be flown from Edinburgh to Buckingham Palace today with Princess Anne expected to accompany the Monarch for her final journey.

Thousands gathered today in the capital to pay their respects before the late Queen is moved from St Giles’ Cathedral to Edinburgh Airport on Tuesday afternoon. From there, her coffin will be transported on a Royal Air Force plane to RAF Northolt in London.

The public are expected to stand by as the cortege passes, before the Queen is taken to Buckingham Palace in a state hearse to rest in the Bow Room at the palace.

King Charles and the Queen Consort will be waiting to receive them at the Palace.

A guard of honour from The King’s Guard will be mounted in the Palace Quadrangle.

King Charles and Queen Camilla are due to visit Belfast today and expected to meet thousands of members of the public.

The royal cavalcade will journey along Wellington Place, Donegall Square North, Chichester Street and Victoria Street.

The King and Queen Consort will then undertake a walkabout at Writers’ Square, before returning home to England.
