The late Queen currently lies in an oak coffin in a "scene of quiet dignity" in the Ballroom of Balmoral Castle.
Draped with the Royal Standard for Scotland and with a wreath of flowers on top, it has remained at rest to allow loyal Balmoral estate workers, who devoted years of service to the monarch, to pay their last respects.
It will be lifted into a hearse on Sunday at 10am by six of the estate's gamekeepers, who have been tasked with the symbolic gesture, ready for a six-hour journey to Edinburgh.
