- Story Text: The coffin of the late Queen Elizabeth was taken along the Royal Mile in the Scottish capital Edinburgh on Monday (September 12) in a silent and solemn procession watched by thousands of people lining the street to pay their respects to Britain's longest serving monarch.
The skirl of bagpipes was the only sound as kilted soldiers from the Royal Regiment of Scotland bore the coffin from the Palace of Holyroodhouse and placed it in the hearse.
King Charles and his siblings - Anne, Andrew and Edward - walked behind the hearse up the historic street. The Royal Company of Archers provided the guard of honour.
The coffin will lie in St Giles' Cathedral for an overnight vigil before being flown to London on Tuesday (September 13).
Charles, who will also visit the Scottish parliament and meet Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, will later mount a vigil at 7.20 p.m. (1820 GMT) along with other royals.
The queen's coffin will on Wednesday (September 14) begin a period of lying in state until early on Sept. 19 - the day of Elizabeth's state - on a catafalque at Westminster Hall.
