- Story Text: King Charles arrived at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday (September 14), ahead of a solemn procession in which Queen Elizabeth's coffin is to be taken from Buckingham Palace to lie in state in parliament.
The King will be joined by his sons Princes William and Harry and other senior royals.
After the queen's death last week at her summer home of Balmoral Castle in Scotland, her coffin was taken to Edinburgh for a series of poignant ceremonies. It was then flown to London late on Tuesday
Tens of thousands of people lined the 14-mile (22 km) route in driving rain and cars parked up on normally busy roads to see the well-lit hearse driving slowly through the dark towards Buckingham Palace, drawing applause, cheers, and the honking of car horns.
At the palace, the flag-draped coffin was met by Charles and all the queen's children, grandchildren, and their spouses who had gathered together for the first time since their matriarch died.
