Queen Elizabeth's death and funeral

The UK government is telling people not to wait or camp out along the route where Queen Elizabeth's coffin will be transported to London on Wednesday.

In official guidance, the government said people who go to the route in advance may be asked to move.

On Wednesday at 9:22 a.m. ET a ceremonial procession will transport the coffin from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall in the Houses of Parliament, where she will lie in state, the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport said.

The Queen’s coffin is currently in St Giles' Cathedral, Edinburgh, and will be flown to London later Tuesday. The Queen will lie in state in the capital from Wednesday until Monday, September 19.

Airspace restrictions are in place in London until Monday evening, Sept. 19, when Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral will be held at Westminster Abbey.

Aircraft are banned below a certain altitude (2,500 feet above sea level) within central London, the UK Civil Aviation Authority said.

Restrictions also apply to all drones flying, it said.

Hundreds of mourners are still queueing outside St. Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh for their turn to pay their respects to Queen Elizabeth II's coffin inside the cathedral.  

The cathedral will be open to the public overnight and will be closed at 3 p.m. local time (10:00 a.m. ET) Tuesday, according to guidance issued by the Scottish Government. 

The Queen’s coffin will be flown to London later on Tuesday.  

Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon on Monday recalled the moment when her husband — Peter Murrell — saved one of Queen Elizabeth II's corgis from electrocution at Balmoral Castle.

As she tabled a motion of condolence for the late monarch at the Scottish parliament, Sturgeon shared her favorite memories of the Queen and a "tense moment" at Balmoral.

She said she and her husband were with the Queen before dinner when the light in the drawing room started to flicker.

"Thankfully, tragedy was averted and Sandy emerged unscathed," she added.

The Queen, who died Thursday at the age of 96, is reported to have had four dogs, two of whom are Pembroke Welsh corgis, Muick and Sandy.

Queen Elizabeth II's corgis will live with the Duke and Duchess of York, Andrew and Sarah, a source close to the Duke of York told CNN on Sunday.

A vigil for Queen Elizabeth II was held at St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh, where Her Majesty lies at rest.

King Charles III, his wife Camilla, the Queen Consort, and other members of the royal family were there, including the King's siblings: Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.

The Queen's four children surrounded the coffin during the vigil. The Scottish crown is placed on the Queen’s coffin draped with the Royal Standard flag.  

The members of the public are now paying their respect to the Queen after temporarily being paused to allow King Charles III and his siblings to hold the vigil.

The Queen's body will rest at St Giles’ Cathedral until Tuesday before being flown to London.

Scotland "stands ready" to support King Charles III as he continues his mother's legacy of public service, Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said speaking at the Scottish parliament Monday. 

Queen Elizabeth II has been "the anchor of our nation," Sturgeon said, praising the Queen's wisdom and dedication in performing her duties. 

Scottish lawmakers paid tribute to the Queen as part of a motion of condolence in the debating chamber. King Charles III and his wife Camilla, the Queen Consort, were present.

"Your Majesty, we stand ready to support you, as you continue your own life of service — and as you build on the extraordinary legacy of your beloved mother, our Queen," Sturgeon added.

"Queen Elizabeth, Queen of Scots — we are grateful for her life. May she now rest in peace," she concluded.

The coffin was taken from Edinburgh's Palace of Holyroodhouse to the cathedral, where King Charles III and other dignitaries attended a service of thanksgiving earlier on Monday. Her body will rest there until Tuesday before being flown to London. 

King Charles III addressed the Scottish parliament on Monday, pledging to "seek always the welfare" of the country as he begins his new royal role.

Before the speech from the King, Scottish lawmakers paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II as part of a motion of condolence in the debating chamber.   

"I know that the Scottish Parliament and the people of Scotland share with me a profound sense of grief at the death of my beloved mother," he said, adding, “My mother felt as I do, the greatest admiration for the Scottish people for their magnificent achievements, and their indomitable spirit.”  

The English Premier League (EPL) announced Monday that the competition is to resume this weekend after last weekend’s matches were postponed as a mark of respect following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

Seven of the 10 matches initially planned for the weekend of Sept. 16-18 will go ahead, with Chelsea vs. Liverpool and Manchester United vs. Leeds United, initially planned for Sunday, being postponed as a result of events surrounding the Queen’s funeral. Brighton and Hove Albion vs. Crystal Palace had already been postponed as a result of planned rail strikes and remain so.

The EPL statement noted that several relevant parties were involved in discussions around the postponements, writing that, “Following extensive consultation with clubs, police, local Safety Advisory Groups and other relevant authorities, there was no other option but to postpone the three fixtures.”

The EPL statement also confirmed that “tributes will be paid to The Queen at Premier League stadiums” where matches are going ahead.

Further announcements will be made by the league as to when the postponed fixtures will take place.
