Queen Elizabeth’s coffin arrived in Edinburgh on Sunday after a six-hour journey from her summer home in the Scottish Highlands, past tens of thousands of mourners lining the route, many in sombre silence, some applauding and others in tears.

People watch the hearse carrying the coffin of Britain's Queen Elizabeth on the M90 motorway, after crossing the Queensferry Crossing, in Queensferry, Scotland, Britain September 11, 2022.People watch the hearse carrying the coffin of Britain's Queen Elizabeth on the M90 motorway, after crossing the Queensferry Crossing, in Queensferry, Scotland, Britain September 11, 2022.

Her coffin was draped in the Royal Standard of Scotland with a wreath on top made of flowers taken from the Balmoral estate including sweet peas, one of Elizabeth’s favourites. Rachel Lindsay, 24, was left in tears as the coffin passed. “It’s just very sad,” she said. “I don’t think we expected it to ever happen. I just thought she’d live forever. I didn’t think it was real until I saw it.”

Many watched silently in bright sunshine. Some threw flowers into the road. For others, the emotion of the moment moved them to tears. Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said parliament would be recalled on Thursday to allow members to pay tribute. There it will remain for 24 hours to allow people to pay their last respects and the new king and members of the royal family will also hold a vigil.
