King Charles III looked emotional as he watched his mother's coffin be lowered into a hearse.
Huge crowds have lined the streets as the Queen’s coffin is taken from the Palace of Holyroodhouse, starting at 2.35pm in a procession to St Giles’ Cathedral, where it will be carried inside at 2.55pm. The King, with members of the royal family, followed the procession on foot before attending a service of reflection for the life of the Queen in the cathedral at 3pm.
The coffin was brought out of the Palace to the tune of the national anthem. A resounding silence followed as the coffin was lowered into the hearse and the walk up the Royal Mile slowly began - the black car remained at walking pace as the procession followed.

It was draped with the Royal Standard in Scotland a nd dressed with a wreath of flowers consisting of white Spray Roses, white Freesias, white button chrysanthemums, dried white heather from Balmoral, spray eryngium, foliage, rosemary, hebe, and pittosporum.
The new King looked to be holding back tears as he prepared to walk the Mile behind his mother's coffin. His face looked pained as he watched her be placed into the hearse.
However, he remained strong and dignified as he carried out his royal duties. Joined by his siblings they walked in silence so that the Queen could rest in St Giles’ Cathedral.
The royal siblings walked in a line behind the hearse carrying their mother's coffin and a few steps behind was Anne's husband Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence. Following in a car was the Queen Consort Camilla and the Countess of Wessex, Sophie.
The children of the Queen, other than Andrew, were all dressed in their military uniforms as they followed the hearse. He wore a black suit and tie with military medals on instead.
