The Queen’s 500-mile journey from her beloved Balmoral Castle to Buckingham Palace begins today.

Tens of thousands of people are expected to pay their respects as Her Majesty is taken to Edinburgh, which will become the first major focal point of a nation in mourning.

After a night at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Queen will lie in state for 24 hours at St Giles’ Cathedral. Her coffin will be flown to London on Tuesday, before being driven to Buckingham Palace. 

Every stage of her extraordinary three-day journey will be closely followed by a British public coming to terms with its grief.
