Queen Elizabeth's Casket Seen for the First Time, Begins Journey to Final Resting Place

The coffin will be driven south for six hours to the Palace of Holyroodhouse in the Scottish capital of Edinburgh.

Large crowds silently gathered along the route as her hearse passed through the villages of Scotland’s Deeside.

Her daughter Princess Anne, also made the journey in a car following the hearse alongside her husband, Sir Timothy Laurence.

The coffin is expected to arrive at Holyroodhouse, the official residence of the British monarch in Scotland, at around 4 p.m. local time and remain there overnight for palace staff to pay their respects.

On Monday (September 12), Queen Elizabeth‘s coffin will be adorned with the Crown of Scotland and then be taken in a solemn procession up the Royal Mile in Edinburgh to the city’s St. Giles’s Cathedral for a service.

King Charles III will walk behind his mother’s casket during the ceremony with his siblings, Princess Anne and her husband, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward. Camilla, Queen Consort and Sophie, Countess of Wessex will travel up to the cathedral service behind the marchers.

The coffin will then be flown to London, accompanied by Princess Anne. Mourners will then have the opportunity to pay tribute as it rests in Westminster Hall in the Houses of Parliament.

Her funeral at Westminster Abbey will occur on September 19. Get more details about what to expect.
