Watch special coverage from ITV News as the Queen’s coffin begins its journey to its final resting place in London, after it left her beloved Balmoral Castle on its journey to Edinburgh on Sunday.
Draped with the Royal Standard of Scotland and with a wreath of flowers on top, it had remained at rest in the Balmoral ballroom so the late monarch’s loyal Balmoral estate workers can say their last goodbyes.
The oak coffin was lifted into a hearse on Sunday at 10am by six of the estate’s gamekeepers, who were tasked with the symbolic gesture, ready for a six-hour journey to Edinburgh.
