01:06 The Queen will lie at rest at the Cathedral for 24 hours until Tuesday, allowing the public to view her coffin.
01:20 The Queen's coffin will be placed on board a RAF Northolt flight departing from Edinburgh Airport and bound for London.
01:26 Buckingham Palace has said that Princess Anne will accompany the Queen's body on this flight.
01:44 The coffin is scheduled to reach Buckingham Palace at 8pm British Summer time, and its arrival will be witnessed by the King and Queen Consort Camilla.
02:04 Her Majesty's closest family, including all four of her children and many of her grandchildren, including Prince William and Prince Harry, all rushed up to Balmoral on Thursday evening after doctors became concerned for her health.

02:36 The Queen's final resting place is expected to be the King George VI Memorial Chapel in Windsor.

03:49 == Appearance ==
03:52 Dressed in an elegant black outfit with her hair fastened into an updo, the Princess Royal looked stoic as she bowed her head and performed a very deep curtsy, potentially her last one for her mother.
04:13 Royal ladies normally curtsy if they're seeing the monarch for the first time that day, and men's greeting is normally a neck bow.
04:20 Anne and her husband Vice-Admiral Sir Timothy Lawrence had remained in one of the cars behind Her Majesty's hearse for the six-hour journey to Edinburgh.
04:42 The cortege made its way through Aberdeenshire, Aberdeen, Angus and Tayside before reaching Edinburgh, allowing mourners to gather in the towns and villages along the way to pay their respects.
