Queen Elizabeth II’s family has paid its respects to the late monarch as she spends a final night at Buckingham Palace tonight (Tuesday). The family turned out to witness the arrival of her coffin earlier this evening at the royal residence affectionately known as the “office”.
King Charles III and his Queen Consort were surrounded by the late monarch’s children and grandchildren and their partners at the grand entrance. Family members included the Prince and Princess of Wales and Duke and Duchess of Sussex, reports PA.
The coffin will lie at rest in the palace’s bow room for tonight before the monarch is handed to the nation to allow the public to pay their respect. She will lie in state at the ancient Westminster Hall for four days.
