Her Majesty’s coffin was greeted by King Charles III and other members of the royal family, including the new Prince and Princess of Wales and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
– as it made its way down The Mall, before reaching the Palace of Westminster. A short service, also attended by the new Queen Consort, Princess of Wales, Duchess of Sussex and Countess of Wessex, was held after Her Majesty’s cortège arrived.
The Queen’s coffin arrived at Buckingham Palace for the last time on the evening of 13 September, after being flown on an RAF C-17 aircraft from Edinburgh to London. Today’s procession marked the last part of a four-day journey that has seen Her Majesty’s coffin moved from her beloved Scottish retreat Balmoral, where she“I was fortunate to share the last 24 hours of my dearest mother’s life,” the Princess Royal said in a statement on Tuesday evening.
On 11 September, Her Majesty’s coffin was conveyed by road from Aberdeenshire to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, where it rested in the Throne Room overnight. Mourners lined the streets from early on Sunday morning for the chance to pay their respects, as the Queen’s last journey got underway. The hearse drove through the gates of the Scottish estate shortly after 10am, giving the public its first sighting of the monarch’s coffin.
