The Queen has left Scotland for the last ever time after the flight carrying her coffin took off from Edinburgh Airport.
Her Majesty's coffin had been on display at St Giles’ Cathedral in the capital over night as thousands queued to walk past and pay their respects. Earlier today well-wishers gathered on the Royal Mile ahead of its move from the historic building, accompanied by Princess Anne.
Many took up vantage points opposite the cathedral doors before the coffin emerged at 4.30pm. Thousands stood along the road on the short journey from the city centre to the airport as they caught a glimpse of the royal cortege passing by.
