THE Queen’s coffin arrived in Edinburgh on Sunday following a six-hour journey from Balmoral.
The coffin remained in the Throne Room at the Palace of Holyroodhouse overnight, where staff were able to pay their respects.
Below is an account of what is happening today following the Queen's death.
What happens today?
King Charles III and the Queen Consort will visit Westminster Hall in London where both Houses of Parliament will express their condolences to the new monarch.
Later in the day, Charles and Camilla will fly to Edinburgh where they will attend a Ceremony of the Keys and the King will inspect the guard of honour.
In this ceremony, the monarch is handed the keys to the city of Edinburgh which are then returned to elected officials for safekeeping.

The King will then hold audiences with First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and Alison Johnstone, the Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament.
Later in the evening, the King and other members of the royal family will mount a vigil at the cathedral in honour of their mother.
