The Queen’s coffin arrived at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh on Sunday where Her Majesty will remain overnight, following a six-hour journey by road from Balmoral.

The Princess Royal, Duke of York and the Duke of Wessex were present as their mother's coffin was taken into the palace.

Draped with the Royal Standard of Scotland and with a wreath of flowers on top, it had remained at rest in the castle's ballroom so the late monarch’s loyal Balmoral estate workers could say their last goodbyes.

The oak coffin was lifted into a hearse at 10am on Sunday by six of the estate’s gamekeepers, who were tasked with the symbolic gesture, ready for the journey to Edinburgh.

Well-wishers gathered along the route the cortege took as it travelled from Balmoral to the Scottish capital.

As it entered Edinburgh, members of the public lined the streets to pay their respects and burst into applause as the cortege passed them.
