The Casket of the Queen returned to Buckingham Palace Tuesday evening, making its way through crowds of people gathered to bid her a final farewell.
People parked their cars along the usually busy road, got out and waved as the hearse, with lights inside illuminating the flag-draped coffin, made its way into London, Associated Press reported.
Thousands of people outside the palace cheered as the hearse moved in front of the palace. King Charles III and other royals waited to greet the casket.
The King will gather with royals, including his wife Camilla, the Queen Consort, Princes William and Harry and their wives, Catherine and Meghan.
It will mark one of the final stages of a solemn journey which began on Sunday at the Queen's Balmoral estate, BBC reported.
The Queen's state funeral will take place at Westminster Abbey on Monday, September 19, Buckingham Palace has announced.
Queen Elizabeth II died on Thursday at the Queen's Balmoral estate, aged 96. Leaders across the world expressed their gratitude to the Queen.
