Queen's journey from Balmoral to London ahead of state funeral.

The queen has begun her journey from the Balmoral estate in Scotland to London ahead of her state funeral in eight days.

She is being driven to Edinburgh where, on Sunday afternoon, she will be received at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Monarch's official Scottish residence, by a Guard of Honour formed by The Royal Regiment of Scotland.The journey typically takes two hours but will take three times longer to allow people to pay their respects along the route. The coffin will be carried to the Throne Room where it will stay until Monday afternoon to allow palace staff to honour the Queen.

The Crown of Scotland will be placed on the coffin as it's carried inside, with the monarch lying in rest until Tuesday. It marks the first opportunity for the public to pay their respects.
