The Queen’s coffin has left Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire and is making a six-hour journey to Edinburgh.
The cortege began the 175-mile journey at 10:00 and will make its way through Aberdeenshire, Aberdeen, Angus and Tayside before reaching Edinburgh.
The Queen will then lie at rest in The Palace of Holyroodhouse overnight.
Officials have warned the event is going to be “of unprecedented scale” and urged onlookers to choose a safe vantage point.
There will be designated viewing locations along the route in Ballater, Aberdeen, Dundee and Edinburgh.
