The public viewing of the Queen’s casket has ended in Edinburgh.
More than 26,000 people had poured into St Giles’ Cathedral, where Her Majesty had been laid to rest for 24 hours.
Thousands of people have gathered outside the cathedral to watch the coffin leave and be driven to Edinburgh Airport.
It will subsequently be transported to London, where it will be taken to Buckingham Palace before laying in state for four days at Westminster Hall.
The Scottish government announced earlier on Tuesday that over 26,000 mourners had paid their respects.
They began coming into the church on Monday evening to be a part of this historic occasion.
Thousands waited all night, joining the line at the Meadows, south of the church where the casket was lying.
Those who wanted to attend the vigil had to pick up wristbands at the beginning of the line, more than a mile away from the church. The last of them were distributed at 13:00, and the cathedral’s doors were closed to the public just before 15:00.
Everyone who had obtained an approved wristband was able to proceed past the casket.
Officials had previously cautioned that the wristband would not guarantee admission.
