Buckingham Palace has released more details of the journey of the Queen’s coffin from Edinburgh to London, which will take place on Tuesday. Having travelled from St Giles’ Cathedral, the coffin will leave in an RAF aircraft from Edinburgh Airport in the early evening, arriving into RAF Northolt.
The Princess Royal, accompanied her husband by Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, will accompany the coffin. At Edinburgh Airport, the coffin will be conveyed onto the aircraft by an RAF Bearer Party and a Guard of Honour will be formed by The Royal Regiment of Scotland.
There will be a Royal Salute when it arrives and the Band of the Royal Regiment of Scotland will also be present. As the aircraft leaves, the Guard of Honour will give a final Royal Salute. The Band will play one verse of the National Anthem.
