Members of the Queen's family have attended a church service at Balmoral - the Scottish Highlands estate where the monarch died on Thursday.
Prince Andrew, Prince Prince Edward, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Sophie the Countess of Wessex, Lady Louise Windsor and Zara and Peter Phillips were all seen arriving for the service at Crathie Kirk on the estate, where people have been laying tributes to Her Majesty.
The retreat was one of the Queen's favourite places and she saw out her final days there.
On Thursday, when news emerged that the monarch's health was failing, royals including the now King Charles, Prince William, Prince Harry, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward, Princess Anne and Sophie Wessex raced to her side.

After the private service held this afternoon, several members of the family left on foot and nodded to onlookers who had gathered near the church to pay their respects.
In poignant scene they were seen pausing to look at the dozens of floral tributes have left near the church.
Before walking back inside the castle grounds the royals stopped to wave to the waiting crowds.
The Queen's coffin has remained at Balmoral since her death and has been placed in the ballroom there so household staff can line up to pay their respects.
The poignant spot is where the monarch danced during the annual Ghillies Ball and shared special moments with Prince Philip as a young princess.
The coffin is draped in the Royal Standard and will remain in the ballroom until tomorrow, where it will make the journey to the Palace of Holyrood House in Edinburgh before being brought to London.
Charles, William and Harry have now returned to England and earlier today, Charles was officially proclaimed King at the Accession Council.
During the poignant and sombre meeting, the King spoke movingly about his mother and the grief his family is experiencing.
He added the “sympathy expressed by so many to my sister and brothers” had been the “greatest consolation”.
Watched by the Queen Consort Camilla, William, the new Prince of Wales, and more than 200 privy counsellors – including six former prime ministers – the King pledged himself to the task now before him and the “heavy responsibilities of Sovereignty”.
Charles began by discharging the “sorrowful duty” of announcing the death of his “beloved mother”, and told the council: “I know how deeply you, the entire nation – and I think I may say the whole world – sympathise with me in the irreparable loss we have all suffered.
“It is the greatest consolation to me to know of the sympathy expressed by so many to my sister and brothers and that such overwhelming affection and support should be extended to our whole family in our loss.”
Charles spoke of the late Queen’s “selfless service”, adding: “My mother’s reign was unequalled in its duration, its dedication and its devotion.
"Even as we grieve, we give thanks for this most faithful life.
"I am deeply aware of this great inheritance and of the duties and heavy responsibilities of sovereignty which have now passed to me. In taking up these responsibilities, I shall strive to follow the inspiring example I have been set in upholding constitutional government and to seek the peace, harmony and prosperity of the peoples of these islands and of the Commonwealth realms and territories throughout the world.
"In this purpose, I know that I shall be upheld by the affection and loyalty of the peoples whose sovereign I have been called upon to be, and that in the discharge of these duties I will be guided by the counsel of their elected parliaments."
