King Charles III and other senior royals have kept vigil by the coffin of his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, as her body lay in state at St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh.
Charles and his siblings – the Princess Royal, the Duke of York and the Earl of Wessex – took their places at the four sides of the oak coffin, which was draped in the Lion Rampart and flag of St Andrew’s, and adorned with the Crown of Scotland.
