King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla arrived in Edinburgh, Scotland, Monday where they attended a service of remembrance for the queen and will visit the Scottish Parliament to meet senior officials.
After landing, Charles and Camilla rode from the airport to the royal family's official residence in Edinburgh, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, where Queen Elizabeth II's coffin lay overnight in the Throne Room.
On their way, they passed large crowds of people who were packed behind metal barriers along the Royal Mile, the road between Holyroodhouse and St. Giles' Cathedral. Onlookers clapped and waved as the king's limousine passed.
King Charles III, dressed in a Field Marshal's ceremonial uniform, and his three siblings, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward marched behind a hearse carrying their mother’s coffin Monday in a solemn procession attended by thousands along the Royal Mile in the historic heart of the Scottish capital of Edinburgh.
The coffin, with the Crown of Scotland resting on a cushion on top of it, is to stay in the 12th-century cathedral through Tuesday.
