What happens after the Queen arrives at Buckingham Palace?
On Wednesday afternoon, the day after the Queen's coffin has arrived from Edinburgh, a procession with the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery, will take the coffin from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall.
The procession will pass The Mall, Horse Guards, Whitehall, Parliament Square and New Palace Yard before it arrives at Westminster Hall.
Once arrived at Westminster, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the King will be holding a service which members of the royal family will attend.
The Queen's body will then lie in state in Westminster Hall — where members of the public will be able to visit — for four days until the morning of the state funeral on September 19.

Why William and Harry were in focus on King Charles III's big day
Many headlines focused heavily on a surprise public appearance by Prince William and Prince Harry, who were joined by their wives Catherine and Meghan outside Windsor Castle.
It was the brothers' first public appearance together since the death of their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
It was also the first time the two couples have been seen together since Harry, the Duke of Sussex and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex's highly publicised withdrawal from royal life.
Senior lecturer in history at the University of Sydney Dr Cindy McCreery said the relative youth and celebrity appeal of William, Kate, Harry and Meghan was driving that interest.
"What you see with Harry and Meghan, but also to some extent with Kate and William, is the blurring of the lines between celebrity and royalty.
"Whereas with Charles and the Queen it was very clear that they were famous but known as being royals, with the younger generation they have somehow transcended that distinction between being royal and being a celebrity.
"Meghan and Harry are particularly good examples of that crossover, in the sense they have particular appeal to people who may have no conscious interest in monarchy.
"And, of course, they are young and photogenic people, and people respond to that."
