The queen's coffin will be taken in a procession from the Palace of Holyroodhouse to St. Giles' Cathedral with the king and royal family members following on foot. There, the Crown of Scotland will be placed onto the coffin. This is a different crown to the one she was crowned in, says Sky News royal commentator Alastair Bruce.

The coffin will remain there for 24 hours before being flown to London on Tuesday. The queen's coffin will then be moved from Buckingham Palace on Wednesday to the Houses of Parliament to lie in state until a state funeral at Westminster Abbey on Sept. 19.
