HISTORICAL FACTS: Queen s coffin arrives in edinburgh after six hour journey - The Untold Story

The Queen's coffin has arrived in Edinburgh following a six-hour journey from Balmoral.

Her majesty's oak coffin left Balmoral, where she passed away on Thursday (September 8), around 10am this morning. Six gatekeepers at the castle moved it from the Ballroom to a hearse ahead of the 175-mile journey.

Thousands of people lined the streets today to pay their respects as the hearse travelled to the Scottish capital before it's flown to London ahead of the Queen's state funeral on Monday, September 19. Large crowds gathered along The Royal Mile in Edinburgh as the late monarch completed the final stretch of this particular part of her journey.
