Queen Elizabeth's coffin will travel by road through Scottish towns and villages as it begins its final journey from her beloved Scottish retreat of Balmoral
While Charles' accession has pushed Britain into what newspapers have called the new "Carolean" era, Britain and the royal family are still coming to terms with the end of the Elizabethan age."She was by my side at my happiest moments. And she was by my side during the saddest days of my life," said William, who has now become the Prince of Wales.
The picture of the four royals was splashed across the front of The Sun newspaper on Sunday with the headline "All 4 One". The cortege will leave at 10:00 am then weave through Aberdeen and Dundee before reaching Edinburgh at 4:00 pm. The queen's coffin will be taken to the Holyroodhouse Palace, the monarch's official residence in Scotland, where it will rest for a day.
King Charles will also visit Northern Ireland and Wales in a show of national unity, accompanied by British Prime Minister Liz Truss, who was only appointed by the late queen on Tuesday. Thousands of people have gathered outside Buckingham Palace and other royal residences in recent days to lay flowers and messages of condolence, or simply to experience history in the making.
