Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin was moved out of the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh. Britain’s new monarch, King Charles III, was seen escorting his mother’s remains to the hearse waiting outside the palace. A military bagpiper played in the background.

King Charles III, who was wearing an army uniform, was also joined by his three siblings. Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward were also seen walking behind the hearse, which was on its way to the St. Giles’ Cathedral. Queen Elizabeth II’s remains will be at the cathedral until Tuesday so members of the public can pay their respect.

King Charles, along with his wife Camilla, the Queen Consort, arrived in Edinburgh on Monday afternoon. Earlier in the day, the monarch delivered his first-ever address to United Kingdom’s lawmakers. After arriving in Edinburgh, the two were driven from the airport to the Palace of Holyroodhouse.

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.

Charles and Camilla got out of their car at Holyroodhouse and greeted people, and looked at floral tributes before a gun salute boomed from Edinburgh Castle.

The government, meanwhile, announced that the nation will observe a minute of silence on Sunday, the evening before the queen’s funeral. The “moment of reflection” will take place at 8 PM. People were encouraged to mark the silence at home or at community events.

Earlier Monday, a personal statement posted on Harry and his wife Meghan’s Archwell website said he cherished their times together “from my earliest childhood memories with you, to meeting you for the first time as my Commander-in-Chief, to the first moment you met my darling wife and hugged your beloved greatgrandchildren.”
