This completed its long journey from Balmoral Castle to Edinburgh

Thousands of mourners lined the streets to pay their final respects to the Queen

After the service, the Queen's coffin was lowered into the Royal Vault, which serves as the final resting place for many former kings and queens.

Prior to that, King Charles moved forward to drape the late monarch's coffin with the Grenadier Guards' Queen's Company Camp Color.
