Police in Edinburgh have told members of the public to avoid travelling within the city centre unless absolutely necessary, as well as advising employees to work from home for the next 48 hours.
Due to the Queen's procession and ceremony at St Giles' Cathedral on Monday, several roads in and around the city centre have been closed. Police were also refusing people access to the Royal Mile shortly before the procession left the Palace of Holyroodhouse, due to the street 'being at capacity'.
Police Scotland have now issued advice ahead of the Queen's coffin being transported to Edinburgh Airport on Tuesday, saying that major disruption is expected and they are working closely with Edinburgh Council, The Scottish Government and ScotRail to keep this to a minimum, although lengthy delays are to be expected.
