Queen to lie at rest

Good night, that is all from our live coverage today.

Thousands of people lined the streets to pay their respects as the Queen's coffin travelled around 180 miles from Balmoral to  Edinburgh.

Her oak coffin, draped with the Royal Standard of Scotland with a wreath of Balmoral flowers on top, began its six-hour trip on Sunday morning from the Queen’s summer sanctuary in the Highlands.

Her body will now rest overnight in the Throne Room at the Palace of Holyroodhouse.

On Monday afternoon, the Queen's coffin will travel by procession to St Giles’ Cathedral, accompanied by the King and members of the Royal Family.

The Queen's body will lie in rest at St Giles' and members of the public will be able to view her coffin, which will remain under continuous vigil for 24 hours.

Queen's coffin arrives in Edinburgh

The Duke of York, and the Duke and Duchess of Wessex, received the Queen’s coffin at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh after a six-hour drive from Balmoral on Sunday.

The Queen’s cortege received a guard of honour by the King’s Bodyguard for Scotland (Royal Company of Archers) as it entered the palace.

Around 50 members of palace staff had gathered in the courtyard to greet the Queen’s cortege.

The guard then left via Queen’s Drive.

In pictures: Queen's funeral cortege as coffin travels through Scotland

Thousands have lined the streets to pay their final respects to the former monarch on her journey through Scotland.

Here's a recap of some of the best pictures of the day as the Queen's coffin approaches Edinburgh.

Three Bridges

The funeral cortege has now left the Kingdom of Fife and crossed the Firth of Forth towards Edinburgh.

The helicopter live feed captured this stunning image of the procession approaching the Queensferry Crossing, the Forth Bridge and the Forth Road Bridge.

Up river from the original Forth road and rail crossings, the Queensferry Crossing was officially opened by the Queen on September 4, 2017, 53 years to the day after she opened the adjacent Forth Road Bridge.

The scene in Edinburgh

The crowds have been building in Edinburgh all day and there is now a huge number of people on the Royal Mile awaiting the Queen's funeral cortege.

Edinburgh gunners' pride at taking part in 21 gun salute

Edinburgh Castle gunners have spoken of their pride at taking part in Sunday's 21-gun salute for the Queen.

Lance Bombardier Michelle McMaster says it feels "extra special" as a woman to be selected for participation as there aren't many females in the regiment.

Meanwhile, Colonel Anthony Philips said: "It's very meaningful, certainly from my family perspective, my father served in the Army his entire career under Her Majesty the Queen, I have served over 30 years under Her Majesty the Queen, and my son has just started his career in the Royal Air Force and will be lining the route in Windsor, so for my family, in particular, it's very meaningful.

Balmoral tributes

Worshippers at the Queen’s local church near Balmoral heard earlier how the monarch might have urged those grieving her death to find comfort in the “message of faith and hope” in her favourite Psalm.

A few dozen people gathered for the first Sunday service at Crathie Kirk since the Queen’s death, which took place around 90 minutes after her coffin departed Balmoral.

One woman dabbed her eyes with a tissue as a fiddler played an instrumental piece recalling the death of the Queen’s grandfather.

The melody of the Lament on the Death of King George V filled the small church just a short walk from Balmoral as sunlight streamed through the stained-glass windows.

A day earlier, some of the Queen’s children and grandchildren visited the church for a prayer service before meeting members of the public and viewing tributes outside the gates of Balmoral.

Paying respect from the roadside

Traffic Scotland are advising people to stay well back from the carriageway as the Queen's funeral cortege makes its way south.

Mourners line the streets across Scotland

The streets have been packed with mourners in Ballater, Braemar, Aberdeen, Dundee and everywhere in-between as the Queen's funeral cortege makes its way from Balmoral to Edinburgh.
