Heathrow Airport flights could be delayed to 'ensure silence' during Queen's coffin procession

Flights at Heathrow Airport could be delayed so they do not disturb the Queen's coffin procession on Wednesday, it has been reported.

The Queen's coffin has arrived at Buckingham Palace in London after being flown from Edinburgh. The coffin will stay in the palace's Bow Room until the ceremonial procession to Westminster Hall for the late monarch's lying in state on Wednesday afternoon.

Heathrow Airport has said in a statement that "out of respect" for the mourning period it will be making "appropriate alterations to our operation". These include flights being disrupted between 1.50pm and 3.40pm on Wednesday to "ensure silence over central London as the ceremonial procession moves from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall".
